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!

Shady Acres Colo River- Unpowered

One of our best camps ever! Amazing location, and really easy to get to from Sydney. The facilities were really nice and clean, and Lisa was so helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend this spot.

Grassy land by a stunning river

This is an expansive grassy campground that we booked up entirely for ourselves. It's situated next to a river which felt beyond luxurious in the high-30 degree weather. The river was definitely the highlight. Pristine water that ebbs and flows with the tide. We had lilos and lived out our best lives floating with a beer in hand. There are some amenities that you don't get at some campgrounds which always make camping a bit easier (3 toilets, hot water shower, sink, BBQ, hose). Overall, we were so stoked with this campsite and gave ourselves plenty of pats on the back for having found it. And definitely a pat on the back to Lisa for being a great host. She popped down when we arrived and gave us the lay of the land. Lisa was really lovely and so was this site - definitely would recommend.

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
