Our property contains the first road in and out of Colo - the original road is supported by hand built dry rock walls some of which are over 3 m high. Often referred to as convict built, but more likely built by freemen who were former convicts.
The property housed the load master's residence who controlled the cargo boats that docked to collect the valley’s produce. This was then transported back down the Colo River which flows into the Hawkesbury river and leads to Broken Bay following the coastline down to Old Sydney Town. The beach diagonally across the river was landed upon by members of the First Fleet’s exploratory scouting party on the lookout for quality farm land - some of which is still in production today.
Our property is on the uppermost reach of freshwater but with tidal influence. This deep water allows swimming and canoeing all year round. Our property is adjacent to the only council built canoe launching facilities on the Colo River.

The property offers a number of sites that can accommodate various group numbers. Please message me if you're interested in booking one or more listings for your special get together.

Family-Friendly Atmosphere:
At our campsite, families are at the heart of everything we do. We understand the importance of creating a safe and enjoyable environment for kids, ensuring that families can bond and create cherished moments together. Our grounds are designed to cater to the needs of families, with designated family-friendly areas and activities suitable for all ages.
Respectful Enjoyment:
To maintain the family-friendly atmosphere, we kindly request campers to adhere to our quiet hours starting at 9 PM. We discourage those not oriented towards family activities and serene evenings, ensuring everyone can enjoy the tranquility of the natural surroundings.
River Adventures:
For water enthusiasts, our campsite boasts a pristine river where you can swim, fish, and kayak to your heart's content. Imagine spending a lazy afternoon on the water, teaching your kids to fish or paddling along the gentle current. It's an idyllic setting for aquatic family adventures.
Riverside Camping:
With over 600 meters of riverside campsites spread across 50 acres of lush bushland, you'll find the perfect spot to set up your tent or park your camper. Each site provides a secluded and tranquil escape, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature while still enjoying the comforts of a well-maintained camping area.
Explore Nature on Foot or Wheels:
Nature enthusiasts will delight in the variety of activities available. Embark on a bushwalk, discovering the flora and fauna that call the Grose Valley home. Mountain biking enthusiasts can navigate our trails, exploring the landscape on two wheels. There's always an adventure waiting just beyond your campsite.
Campfires and Seasonal Delights:
As the sun sets, gather around a crackling campfire with family and friends. We provide plenty of firewood to keep the flames dancing, creating the perfect atmosphere for storytelling and bonding. And when the season is right, don't forget to grab some homegrown avocados or contribute a small donation for kayak hire—all proceeds go to Beyond Blue, supporting mental health initiatives.
Proximity to Richmond:
Just a 10-minute drive away lies Richmond, a town with a rich history dating back to the early 19th century. Explore the blend of modern suburbia and historical landmarks, adding a touch of culture to your camping experience.
Supporting a Cause:
Extra vehicles are welcome with a small fee, and rest assured, all proceeds go to Beyond Blue, supporting mental health awareness and initiatives.

For a stress-free and safe camp setup, we recommend arriving before sunset. This ensures you have ample time to settle in, allowing you to start your camping adventure on a comfortable note.
Discover your secluded spot to swim, camp, fish, or simply relax. Join us in the Grose Valley for a camping experience that caters to the whole family, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Our property contains the first road in and out of Colo - the original road is supported by hand built dry rock walls some of which are over 3 m high. Often referred to as convict built, but more likely built by freemen who were former convicts.
The property housed the load master's residence who controlled the cargo boats that docked to collect the valley’s produce. This was then transported back down the Colo River which flows into the Hawkesbury river and leads to Broken Bay following the coastline down to Old Sydney Town. The beach diagonally across the river was landed upon by members of the First Fleet’s exploratory scouting party on the lookout for quality farm land - some of which is still in production today.
Our property is on the uppermost reach of freshwater but with tidal influence. This deep water allows swimming and canoeing all year round. Our property is adjacent to the only council built canoe launching facilities on the Colo River.

I adjust each booking with each group depending on size of the group and time of year. I also hold large events so will book out the entire site for large groups.
Just a short drive from Sydney but a world away with its ancient forests and meandering pathways. All photos are from the site or within a 2km walk of the camping site in National Park or reserve. Please note that the canyon photos are from a spot that is very difficult to get to.
I welcome self-contained campers with your own camping toilet/shower, and drinking water. However there are facilities on site for smaller groups at an extra cost.
The property offers a number of sites that can accommodate various group numbers. Please message me if you're interested in booking one or more listings for your special get together.
Dogs are welcome as long as they are friendly, but no cats please. Also please be aware that we are surrounded by nature and part of nature are snakes and ticks.
- we need to keep this environment for the wildlife. Please take all your belongings and rubbish with you when you leave. Leave it better than as you found it.

We stayed at the Flash Camp over New Years. I was really impressed with the amenities, Bbq's & toiletries.
The whole site is very family & kid friendly. They put on an inflatable water slide for the kids in the afternoons, there's a park area with slack lines & a flying fox plus a soccer field.
The water was beautiful & peaceful, plenty of shallow areas for the kids & deeper parts for a swim.
I highly recommend Jilla, we'll be back!!

We had a lovely time here.
We did get the chance to upgrade to a powered site by the water upon arrival so I can't comment on what the original site would have been like.
The powered site was in a great spot though right by the water and included a covered table and BBQ area which saved us from some soggy weather.
It was a nice surprise on NYE that they had live music and we could see fireworks from other local areas across the water (not actually on site).
The site itself was a great size and we had plenty of room. Amenities weren't too far away and it was lovely to have access to a hot shower.

Such a beautiful spot! The camp ground was so beautifully spread out so you had plenty of privacy. The toilet blocks were very clean, easy walk to access the swimming spots. Matt and Jenna were so lovely and accomidating. I can't wait to return again!

We absolutely loved our time at Jila Campground, so much so we extended our trip by double! There are so many great facilities that aren’t mentioned on hipcamp including high ropes for kids, a soccer field and a huge blow up water slide that get put up in the afternoons. The river is amazing. Very clean and super safe. Great for families. Our dogs loved running around off leash and making friends with the other campers. The campground is well space out so you’re not on top of anyone and you feel totally immersed in nature. Toilets and camp skinks are convenient and clean. One of the best hipcamps we’ve booked and we can’t wait to come back again soon!

This place was perfect for us family of four (1 toddler and a dog). The space is big enough to find shade and flat areas. The river was the highlight though. Beach, shallow and deep water!
It was a great start of the year and we will be back for sure
