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

Beautiful property with direct access to the freshwater river. There are kayaks to borrow, a fire pit, lovely and well maintained bathroom and showers. Our host was sweet to come and say hello to us and her lovely dog also greeted us. There’s very limited reception here. Had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

Shady Acres Colo River- Unpowered

As always, Shady Acres never fails to deliver. Great camping spot for a group with direct river access, a pristine toilet & shower block and BBQ provided. Great for a camp fire and lots of fun. One of the best sites you will find in this area. Thanks again Lisa for being a fantastic host and providing great facilities.

My group very much enjoyed their stay at Shady Acres. Lisa had great communication and was a lovely host. She made sure we're all settled in and gave us tips on the area. The site and facilities were well-maintained and we had a good space between the nearest group. Definitely recommend this site to others.

Shady Acres Colo River- Powered

It was our second time here with a large group booking and we had the best time ever. Celebrated new years there and it was honestly just such a great time, weather was on and the river was there with high tides during the day to swim around in. Will continue to go here as much as i can, and Lisa is the best host too. Thanks again Lisa!

Well maintained campground with great toilet and shower options. The extras that Lisa provides - sink, BBQ, table, firepit etc - were much appreciated. Great spot to jump in and out of the river. Trees provided welcome shade. Happy campers.
