Cromarty Boat Ramp and Recreation Area

Cromarty, QLD

About this campsite

The Cromarty Boat Ramp and Recreation Area is a delightful spot perfect for fishing and crabbing activities. With the added excitement that high tides or flood times can turn the whole area into a water wonderland, this destination is enjoyed by people who adore aquatic adventures. Be cautious while exploring the 'dry mud' area due to its potentially masked muddy nature, and anticipate an environment rich with local creatures like sandflies. Visitors will appreciate the areas carefully maintained by the local council.

Plenty of tidal river access for fishing and crabbing from the bank. At king tides or in flood times the whole area can be under water. Stick to the gravel area: the 'dry mud' can be just a crust. Plenty of sandflies

How to Get There

From Giru travel west on Donahue Street for 1.5km. Turn north onto Cromarty Creek Road at waypoint and continue to boat ramp at the end of the road. Just a few km.
