Camping at this site offers a serene and picturesque escape, with a beautiful landscape and well-maintained facilities. Chuck and Van, the hosts, are frequently praised for their warmth and hospitality, enhancing the overall experience. The campsites, many of which are situated near a lake, are described as private and spacious, providing ample room for activities like fishing, paddle boating, and hiking. While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, a few visitors noted the narrow roads leading to the site, which can be a bit challenging for larger vehicles.

Cliffhanger 2 (sheltered)
We stayed at cliffhanger 2 and it was such an awesome spot! Definitely would recommend a car with 4WD if you can - our AWD made it up okay(ish), however. The property is stunning and the history is a great read. Loved seeing the cows and friendly dogs roam the property. Great bathroom facility as well. Thanks Chuck and Van! We hope to be back very soon.

This was an awesome place to camp . We camped near the lake. There was plenty of room for the dog to run and my dog made some new doggy friends. I will be back.
I was lucky enough to stay at Tar Springs 2 on 8/7-10. Van and Chuck were so welcoming and understanding when they offered their Lake View Room #1. I set my tent up in the field with a gorgeous view of the lake but there was a heat wave. My stay was so comfortable. The kitchen had everything you’d need to cook. The bathroom was also so nice and clean. Their property is so beautiful. I can’t wait to go back and stay. It was such a pleasure to get to know Van and Chuck and you really felt like you made long life friends.
We loved tent camping at the cliffhanger 1 shelter. Chuck was a great host for our family of 5. We enjoyed swimming fishing and paddle boating during our trip. We will definitely return!

Cliffhanger 2 (sheltered)
We loved camping at tar springs 2, Chuck and Van are the hostesses with the mostesses. Their land is an absolute beautiful retreat. We ended up camping at the cliffhanger 1 and it was amazing, the clean bathrooms, hosts and lake are just down the path. We checked out most of the other sites as we were the only ones camping and all the sites are private and maintained. One night it rained hard and we had our own private waterfall at our camp, our camp stayed dry under the cliff, even when the wind tried to push the rain at us. We brought our two eskies with and they loved roaming the grounds and meeting up with their new friends, Poppy and Heidi bear. This is a magical place, peaceful and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful property!

Lake and Cliff View Room #2
Chuck and van were great hosts! The land is absolutely beautiful. I wish we had more time to explore it!
Van and Chuck host a cluster of great camp sites on a beautiful piece of land. Our site was right on the lake and in a nice clear open area. We were situated within walking distance of two other camp sites, which we explored since we were told we would be the only group staying their over the weekend. Van and Chuck were incredibly hospitable and welcoming, and made sure to make themselves available if we needed anything. We will definitely have to plan a second trip out to their property soon!

It is so incredibly beautiful and peaceful. We went fishing, canoeing, paddle boating, and hiking. The kids loved the rope swing that went into the lake. We will definitely be back. Also, Chuck and Van are the sweetest!

The Point 1
Yes please let visitors know the road at tar springs are narrow, so they can slow down.
Point 2 is just what I wanted to truck tent camping.. Shady and easy access to the water for paddle boarding.
Bathroom are clean and the entire place is clean

Loved the place. So peaceful, quiet and scenic.
Since it was quite muddy because it had been rainy, we stayed at another camp site which had an incredibly beautiful view on the lake, and a small hill behind that made it feel very private.
Hosts were kind, attentive and welcoming, and the domain is well kept and safe. We enjoyed the sporadic company of their dog, and also appreciated very much the clean restrooms and showers. (Yes, also had hot water ) Wifi is also available around the premices, which proves practical if we needed it occasionnally.
Jeffrey’s cliff is a local hike you can do, it about 20 mins away. It was a recommended by the host. Some of the highlights of our stay were seeing a giant owl and also many hummingbirds around the main house.
Highly recomend for peaceful campers that are fond of nature and scenic surroundings.
Absolutely stunning and peaceful place. Chuck and Van were very welcoming and helpful. Chuck even came by to make sure we were able to start our fire. It had been a rainy weekend. We fished, had a bon fire, explored, and learned about this historic and beautiful place. We hope to return again soon.

Cliffhanger 1 (sheltered)
The property was gorgeous! We took so many pictures when we stayed. The hosts were kind and very helpful. And the restrooms were clean and well maintained.
Chuck and Val were such kind hosts. Tar springs was truly beautiful and the tent camp sights were perfect couldn’t even tell others were around us camping. We were camping 10 ft from the water and we caught some good fish ! Caught a 13 lb channel cat. The bathrooms were beautifully done and such a great amenity would recommend this place to anybody!!
We had such a great time staying at the cliffhanger spot! We were nestled in between a cliff and a waterfall! Although it was raining the entire first day we were there, our campsite stayed completely dry and cool. We were in walking distance from the beautiful and clean men and women’s restrooms. Being able to take a hot shower was so nice! It was a little difficult to find the main house but Chuck and Van were able to give us specific directions! I do recommend letting Chuck and Van know if your car is four wheel drive. Overall I give the campsite a 9.5/10 only because our car was two wheel drive and the ground was very wet lol
My daughter and I very much enjoyed the place, made for an excellent first camping experience. Would definitely recommend to others.

Tar Springs was a totally magical get away fro the city and we cannot wait to return! Van and Chuck were such kind and accommodating hosts- sharing their hatchet, and recommendations for what to do in the area. Even with some rain we were completely dry from a storm, and the facilities were so clean! Such a luxury on a camp out.
Wow!! What an absolutely beautiful spot! Our site was tucked away and private, right under a cliff. Sweet dog on the property and Van was super kind and helpful. WiFi available at the site if needed. I’d recommend this for anyone wanting some quiet time away. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Getting away from the hustle and bustle of life and into the most beautiful, sereneful, quiet place to unwind and unstress. Relaxing at your campfire, fishing, watching barn swallows swoop down, blue birds, cardinals. No stress here and definitely come again!! Thank you to our host Chuck and Van for their warm welcome.
This was such an awesome spot to camp! Welcoming hosts, and the area was very clean and tidy. Looking forward to going back!
We loved staying at Tar Springs 2! Our host was very accommodating for our changing arrival time. The property is clean and very quiet. The cliff is Impressive and an easy walk from our room. We cant wait for our next visit to explore more!
Awesome unique stay! Good fishing and very beautiful site.

We loved our stay at Chuck and Van’s! The privacy was amazing and the facilities so nicely kept! Hope to return for another weekend soon!
I cat say enough about how awesome this place was and what an incredible value for the price! Chuck and Van were gracious and kind hosts and we enjoyed getting to know them while we were there too! The photos don’t do this place justice. The kitchen had everything we needed, the bathroooms were immaculate. Our kids loved fishing, playing with the dogs and exploring. Also Jeffrey’s cliff hike is a MUST!
