We had a 50-amp site on the pasture, but it might have been the only one. Quiet ranch with horse cattle and goats. Great communication with the host. We just needed a one night stop and it for the bill.

The Long Horn cattle were very majestic animals, my boxer was obsessed with them. They were having horse riding lessons when we pulled up, another first for my dogs. We had a nice place to stay and even filled up our fresh water tank. The farm was beautiful and the sunset was amazing! I highly recommend staying here!

Neat place on the Tar River. Very pretty for canoeing as the water is slow moving. Sites 1-3 were nice, with site #1 having easiest access to the river (it's a bit of a steep bank) and a sandbar in front.

Weekend Trip to Tar River Life

The place was wonderful. Very quiet and felt private even though there were other campers around. The owners were very accommodating when we arrived and realized our reserved site wasn’t large enough for our group. They had us set up on a new site in under 20 minutes! We will definitely be back.

It was amazing staying here. Definitely worth coming back. We also did the kayak trip with tar river life while we were there. Mostly secluded spots. Nice enough private potty tent across from your site. The mud road was crazy though so we do recommend 4WD here.
