Petrie Park Picnic Area
About this campsite
Petrie Park Picnic Area is a popular outdoor spot known for its public boat ramp on the Mary River in the Tiaro area. It offers amenities for overnight camping, fishing and picnicking. However, it may not always be suitable for medium to large size caravans due to its undulating landscape and occasionally gets closed for fishing competitions. The area underwent rejuvenation after flood damage, now featuring protective bollards, thereby reducing camping space. However, its beautiful surroundings make it an attractive choice for outdoor enthusiasts.
