​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!

Great get away!
We loved camping at Tar River! The campsite was well kept with plenty of wood for us. The views of the river and woods were great to wake up to as well. Would highly recommend this to anyone who wants an easy camoing weekend to get out of the suburbs or city.

Campsite #5
I loved camping on Nikki's land! She checked on me when I arrived and ensured I had a bundle of firewood. There was a pop up potty with toilet paper already stocked. The firepit area was raked out from all of the dry leaves. The site was beautiful with all of the autumn colors. I wasn't brave enough to get in the river this time around. The lows were in the 40s! I could see to the bottom though as it hadn't rained in a bit. I will be returning! **I would suggest driving to the right and going the long way around to the campsites if you have a sedan. The path has less dips.**
