It was a very clean campground but being next to Arkansas River the mosquitoes were plentiful. I was able to do my 5 mile jog easily. It was a nice experience.

Beautiful park on the river. Clean and the hook ups were great 😊. We will definitely go back when we are in the area.

This is my favorite campground, I should preface it with my favorite campground without full hookups. The park is very well maintained and the views are gorgeous! We had a wonderful time!

Tar Camp was a true gem that we experienced. A beatifically cared for park with serene river front setting. Quiet, and enjoyable.
