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!

Loved shady acres
I loved camping at shady acres! There is a considerable amount of flat land with soft grass! The river is calm, clear and beautiful for a swim. There was plenty of land to play games and the fire pit area is such s great area for night time drinks

Beautiful spot
We loved our weekend at Shady Acres. A huge space perfect for a group of friends. We had heaps of fun floating down the river and having a fire in the evening. My only tip is if you want power on the powered site be wary of where you want to camp as the power is half way down the site not in the nicest spot to camp, the water is also spread out. If advertising as powered, access could be improved at various spots across the site. We were self sufficient so didn't bother us. A beautiful spot to relax with friends. Would recommend and return!

We stayed for 4 nights with a bunch of friends and family for my 50th in October and we loved it! Was fantastic to not be near any other people, there was loads of space and everyone enjoyed the tidal river. Lisa was a great host and very responsive to any questions. Recommend for groups
