Mrytle Park campground is a great low cost camping area maintained by the council. Facilities are generally very good, are modern and clean and you generally find a good family atmosphere where the kids can run around and have a great time. There are excellent opportunities for swimming in the adjacent river however it isn't recommended during cooler months as the water can be very cool. If you are a fisherman, pack the fishing rod as there are good opportunities to catch a trout in the St Patrick's river. Kayakers will enjoy this campsite at Myrtle Park.

The Myrtle Park campground is highly recommended for those wishing to camp in the North East of Tassie. You will enjoy pleasant surroundings with large open grassy camping areas. There is an undercover picnic area with barbecues and a small kiosk selling basic goods including milk, bread, newspapers and refreshments. There is also a playground for the kids, however we recommend that you spend more time on the banks of the river trying to spot the shy, elusive platypus.
