​Back to the basics, come and experience Tar River Life’s primitive camping on the Tar River. Enjoy being on the river and listening to slow running sound of the Tar River. Bring your own tent or rent one of ours. You can drive your vehicle to all of our campsites. The drive to camp is about 1/2 miles. Each site includes a fire pit, wood and trash bin. Cook your own meals or try and catch your own fish from the river. Campsites can be secluded or grouped. Each site comes with a picnic table, 1 bundle of wood and trash can. Stay for a night or longer period of time, come and enjoy the outdoors with us. We have lots of walking trails, fishing access, wildlife, kayaking and tubing (must be purchased through us). 2WD vehicles are ok except during wet conditions. There is also the Vollmer Farm, with seasonal produce a Full Coffee Shop with breakfast goodies and baked goods and not to mention their fabulous ice cream. They have goods from around NC including, eggs, honey, meats, beers, wine and more. There is a grocery store (Food Lion) about 15 minutes away. So you can stock up on supplies on your way to your next adventure. We are pet friendly!

We loved this Hipcamp spot! It was secluded and quiet— a true getaway. We stayed in Site 15 where the tent was already set up and it was hassle-free— just drive up and unpack. We appreciated that there was a latern, fire pit, accessible firewood and chairs by the fire. Walking to the river in the morning was lovely, as well. We hope to come back soon!

I loved my stay. I was checked on periodically to make sure I didn't need anything. I stayed on the high ground and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend this site
