Tar Camp is a hidden gem. This park is right on the Arkansas River, all the campsites are on the river bank. The road into the park is lined on both sides with trees. The park is absolutely beautiful. The restrooms are well maintained and the Park Attendants are great.
I’m already planning my next

Well managed, Friendly Park staff and very helpful. Good cell phone service at&t. Great grocery store in town. There is alot to be said about this park. Camp pads for rv/trailer are level, some spots may need minor leveling. We will be back.

The park was full the weekend we stayed around July 4th. A lot of families enjoying time together and the part was still a quiet place to relax. Sites are well spaced in most areas. A new bathhouse had been installed. There was concrete from the camping pad to the picnic table area, except for the site we chose. Was a bit unlevel going from the pad to the table. We were still happy to be camping on the bank of the Arkansas River, enjoying the breeze in the shade even with the extreme temperatures. We will return.

We loved this campground! Right on the Arkansas River! Our site number was D03, shaded, right on the river with nice amount of space on each side. We enjoyed watching the barges slowly go by. Lots of wildlife especially if you are a birder. Well maintained and easy to get to. We hope to return soon.

This was a great little spot to stop and camp! Their bathrooms are so nice! I hope they stay that way. We camped at D21 and it was a great spot.

My wife and I enjoyed this campground. We loved watching the barges going up and down the river. The campground was well maintained and the grass was recently mowed.
