Colo River Hut

1 site · Lodging26 acres · Lower Portland, NSW
We are 1.5 hrs from Sydney. On arrival you will feel the atmosphere of this wilderness area. Colo River Hut is located adjacent to the Colo River. A beautiful, unspoiled location on a pristine river. With it's own private beach and over 400 metres of riverfront. We are on the opposite side of river from the the Wollemi National Park. The hut sits (alone) within the eastern (10 acre paddock) of our property. There are no walls and so you have permanent views across the paddock to large sandstone cliffs and we are less than 30 metres from the riverbank. The Hut has a rustic tin roof, a large bench area with power points and task lighting. Tents or swags can be set up within the Colo River Hut. Or, if you wish, you can set up your tent or camper or small caravan adjacent to the Hut. There is plenty of room as there is a maximum of 6 guests (and 3 vehicles) with each booking. The Hut has a raised hardwood timber floor and enclosed composting toilet and hot/cold shower facilities. It also has ceiling fans for airflow and insect control. We provide a gorgeous shaded area under a large tree with valley views, with a large bbq table and chairs and fire pit (with grill) for your enjoyment. Firewood is also provided. Suitable for swimming, canoes, bikes, Bass fishing, and hiking, the Colo River Hut can be as active or relaxing as you wish. The Colo River Valley remains largely undiscovered, and is on the edge of the Wollemi wilderness. The Colo is fed by the Wolgan and Capertee Rivers. It has a long history and retains much of its' early unspoiled charm.

Weekend Trip to Colo River Hut
We had a beautiful long weekend at Colo river hut. The hut was a great place to have dinner and enjoy a shower. Great to have the whole place to ourselves and enjoy the beautiful sunsets over the field. The host provided firewood and was very helpful with directions and answered a couple of questions.

upgraded the facilities from the last time i went, even though i loved it before now its even better. The road down has been smoothed down and my Audi A5 survived the decent. They now have toilets not the porterloo ones. It was beautiful and peaceful, the river and abundance of wood for making a nice fire was delightful. I look forward to coming back a lot sooner now.

Weekend Trip to Jila Camp Grounds
What a spot! We had a group of 8 with 4 different camping arrangements a combo of camper trailers, tents and roof top tents. It housed us all perfectly. The public toilet amenities and camp sinks were very handy and tidy. The river is absolutely gorgeous and so clear. We floated and paddle boarded down, slowly walking back up stream. There are a lot of fire spots to choose from however some are very close to each other. We had another group of about 10 about 50m away however they could have come closer if they chose to which wouldn’t have been fun. The sites were clean and in great locations! Phil was so easy to communicate with and the toilets got tidied daily. From what we could see the glamping tents/showers/toilets and cooking facilities that come with them were pretty epic too. Liked how there was recycling and bins on the property. Thanks for a fab stay.

The river was beautiful we loved floating down there on lilos with the kids although some of the short cut tracks were a bit dodgy I'd recommend walking the long way down from near the shed as it's not as steep and you don't have to climb over logs. Look it's a very basic site there are flushing toilets and a sink with cold water but no shelter so have to BYO as we ended up cooking in the rain which was difficult. I did think it was really expensive for what it is but it was lovely and it's dog friendly so I'd consider going again and taking him anyway. Much nicer vibe than a caravan park with all the lovely trees. We had trouble with someone running a noisy generator which made it impossible to sleep but drove up the hill to get reception to check if they were allowed (no) and texted owner and he came down and fixed it straight away. It had a lovely communal feel everyone had kids and dogs and they were all playing together, byo firewood you are allowed to collect from site but it's picked clean. I think for the money they should put in a camp kitchen at least with some shelter and basic gas BBQs and seating so hopefully that's in the plan. There is a shed that could convert but it's got kayaks and floaties. The glamping area has a kitchen. Oh also don't worry about the reviews about the road being for 4wds they've regraded it and it's fine. Our neighbours were worried about getting the caravan up in the rain but our 2wds had no issue even after rain all night.

The river was safe for the kids. We stayed one night and the weather was lovely on the day we arrived and it was raining at night and the next morning. Lovely to listen to the rain while sleeping in a tent.

We went camping at Jila Campground. It’s a very nice and calm place, with acceptable toilets located in various areas of the campsite. It’s near the Grose River, which had clear water during our stay. We forgot to bring our own firewood, but Phillip, the host, helped us gather some wood, loaded it into his ute, and brought it to our fire pit. Of course, it is not his duty, but it shows he truly deserves to be the host of a campground, ensuring that campers enjoy their stay. The grass was well-kept, and there were fire pits available everywhere. We will definitely go back with firewood, a kayak, and, of course, more drinks!
