Camp Right Next To Tobacco Ranch

We are lucky to be located right across the river from an awesome little campground called Pettit Park. This is a great option for our summer weddings and events. Enjoy the day/night over at Tobacco Ranch at your event and then walk across the bridge to your Camper, Tent, or Motor Home. Pettit Park is conveniently located less than a mile from the delicious restaurants, cute shops, and bars of downtown Clare.
