The folks that are taking care of Tar camp are doing a great job. They work endlessly to keep the park looking great. They are very nice. The park is a great place to just relax and is so beautiful. Watching the sun coming up and going down is a beautiful picture of Gods creation. Good place to take your kids so they can be outside as bd enjoy nature. You can just go boating on the Arkansas River or take your fishing gear and fish. Either one is great!! It is close to home so we hope to go more often and love if being opened all year. Thank you!

Nice place. Very quiet. Did not use any of the facilities.

@FloydSD4403645 · Camped on Oct 23, 2024 at Campsite #D20

Beautiful park! We had a site right on river side. Clean restrooms and each bathroom is private with plenty room. Level sites with grills, fire pit, picnic table.

@JoelG8B635AE28 · Camped on Oct 18, 2024 at Campsite #D9

We love going here. Clean bathrooms and showers in the back. Respectful neighbors. Great staff. Hopefully the sticker issue will be solved in the middle of the park next year as thats the only huge negative here. Will be back though.

what a great COE.. was able to watch the barges go down the river..very piecefull, large spaces, The showers look nice, although we did not use them.

@CarolynV7660ED · Camped on Oct 6, 2024 at Campsite #D20

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.Im already planning my next

@RaymondW941627 · Camped on Aug 28, 2024 at Campsite #D20

Our stay was short but the campground is well kept, staff was friendly and helpful.

@PeggyG9350071 · Camped on Aug 5, 2024 at Campsite #D4

Everything was great except no air in bathrooms.

@JamesC5011896 · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #D5

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.

@PamP4615940 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #D3

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.

@TammyeS2F00425 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #D3

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.

@SandraG9753049 · Camped on May 30, 2024 at Campsite #D21

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.

@BenjaminG92848 · Camped on May 23, 2024 at Campsite #A21

Lovely Park All Spots have view of water

@JohnK6536193 · Camped on May 14, 2024 at Campsite #D5

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.

@JackPD02FFF574 · Camped on Apr 28, 2024 at Campsite #D1

Our second time visiting this beautiful park on our journey across the states. Always a joy to visit and wonderful and friendly camp hosts. Definitely a must stay if youre in the area

@Garyand9104F9A · Camped on Apr 25, 2024 at Campsite #D15

First time camping here in 5 or 6 years that the campground was clean and well mowed. The dump station was finally finished. The bathroom and showers were looked after, new bathrooms were almost finished. Even had attendants on duty. This was absolutely the best kept Tar Camp I have ever stayed at.

@DonSB8EA00CC3F · Camped on Apr 13, 2024 at Campsite #C10

Beautiful

@JenniferR98687 · Camped on Apr 10, 2024 at Campsite #D21

This place was so peaceful and pretty. I cant wait until the bathroom gets fixed in section D though! We will be coming back and bringing friends.

@DavidB5075483 · Camped on Apr 6, 2024 at Campsite #A18

Camp was beautiful but the restroom maintenance left a lot to be desired- toilet paper was not replenished and cleaning was minimal.

@NickT2297668 · Camped on Apr 5, 2024 at Campsite #D14

Beautiful campground along the Arkansas River.

@DavidW7736336 · Camped on Mar 19, 2024 at Campsite #D6

Just an overnight stop, it was quiet and well kept. I'd definitely stop again, with my fishing stuff too hopefully.

@scotts8955128 · Camped on Mar 1, 2024 at Campsite #A14

Tar Camp is looking better than it has in years. New bathrooms going in. Cleaned up nicely.

@SteveK1630665 · Camped on Oct 29, 2023 at Campsite #D2

This is a very beautiful and quiet park. We stayed in a fifth wheel in late October. Im sure it is very busy in peak season.

@LaurieH1733167 · Camped on Oct 27, 2023 at Campsite #D17

We were in site D17 right on the Arkansas River from 10/28/23-10/31/23. The site had 50amp and water only but was a large paved site. We had 3 dogs with us and the stickers were an issue. Our cell signal (Cricket) was slow. We never saw a camp host or a Park Ranger. It is a quiet park with very little traffic. It is a great park to get away and relax in!

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
