Weekend Trip to Shady Acres Colo River

Absolutely loved our weekend there. There was another group at the same time but the setup meant we couldn’t hear anything whatsoever. Right by the river which was nice. Got a decent shower, thunder and lightening on the first night and the ground still held up absolutely fine. Lisa had some big tables and even a bbq available to use which was a lovely bonus.

Me and my husband visited and we had a wonderful time. There was heaps of space all to ourselves, which our cattle dog took advantage of, and the view we had was spectacular. The hosts were super friendly, we would definitely come back with more people in tow.

We had a great time camping at Shady Acres. Lisa was great and very helpful. There was plenty of space, and lots of firewood available which we really appreciated. The river was lovely for a swim. We loved the sounds of the birds in the morning. The location was easy to find in the daylight but a little tricky to find at night time. We would definitely recommend!

Group of friends in 5 caravans, Area easily accommodated us all with space to spare. Lovely flat green space right next to the river. Didn't swim this time as it was middle of winter but the group consensus was it would be fabulous in the summer and we plan to return. Toilets and showers on site were a great touch. Host Lisa was flexible and easy to communicate with. Hope to return soon.

This was our second time coming to shady acres and will be back again. The campsite is nice and grassy with a firepit to use. The toilets and shower are modern and in good condition. The two campsites are a fair distance away so you have your own swimming area and it feels like you have the place to yourselves. The river is crystal clear and nice and shallow for kids to play around. Can recommend.

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!

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.

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.

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.
