Description

Dunbar Vicinity – The Bourne Farm platform, donated by the Bourne family of Tarboro, was completed in August, 2014. Use the existing boat ramp on the farm as a landing spot and walk 50 yards downstream to the camping platform. This facility is located upstream of Dunbar on one of the most scenic sections of the Tar River in Edgecombe County. Enjoy a narrow, meandering section of the river just downstream from the site with high banks and abundant wildlife such as whitetail deer, wild turkey, waterfowl, and much more. This platform is 16′ by 32′ and half is enclosed with screening and a roof. All sites are only accessible by water. Please note that this site will be closed from September 6th – January 1st due to hunting season. Download Bourne Campsite Paddlers Map.
