This property is a Pristine Riverfront property in Colo Valley. It is a tidal river with sandy shallow sandbars and 10ft deep swimming holes. There is an abundance of native animals here including kangaroos, lyre birds, lace monitors, platypus and more! Access is via a short dirt driveway to the riverfront camping area. The access is 2wd unless there has been significant rain it becomes 4wd access. We can accommodate both small and large groups with sites just steps away from the river. We have 2 water entrances, one is a large grassed area with shallow water which is great for kids & families. The other entrance is a natural sandy entry with a deeper swimming area suitable for adults. We also have a beautiful lagoon area where I can arrange additional campers. We have built some new flushing toilets (3) with a hot water shower. We are very accommodating of your pets. We welcome dogs and can host horses in one of the paddocks. Please ensure you contact the host prior to your stay if you are bringing any animals.  We have canoes & floats which you can hire to paddle up the river. Additional activities here include fishing, swimming, bushwalking, canoeing & birdwatching. We are also only a 5 minute drive to Colo Riverside Cafe. We also have 2 beautiful brand new glamping tents that you can hire. Please see our extras. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Great camping place
We loved the place and also having our dog Ellie with us all the time was perfect. The owner Lisa was super friendly and very helpful all the time we were there. I highly recommend this camping place for a future getaway. Leo

We came here start of July for my 30th birthday with a mix of friends and some young kids. The property is beautiful and to have it all to ourselves was amazing. Lisa is an absolute legend and is super friendly. We took a gamble with the weather forecast and lucked out, even though it rained a little bit here and there we were prepared and didn’t let it dampen our moods because when the sun was out inbetween in full force it was beautiful still. Seriously though, 10/10 experience, 5 star spot, Lisa is a legend, we can’t wait to come back and experience the place in summer, will definitely be back again. Thanks Lisa!

I'll be back! Gorgeous!
I'm tempted to give this place 1 star so that nobody else goes here and I can have it all to myself! The grass was green and fresh, the fire pit areas were clean, the toilet and shower were top notch and Lisa was an awesome host. I will book here again for sure!

So close to Sydney! Beautiful site
We had 28 people on site for a full weekend to celebrate my 30th birthday. Everyone commented the bathrooms and showers were so nice. The area was flat and grassy and there were plenty of options to pull up.

Spacious and private! Couldn’t recommend Lisa’s property any more. Was ideal for a large group and pet friendly. Will definitely be back to experience it in the warmer months.
