Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
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 perfect spot
We loved the private nature of the campsite as it was perfect for our group! Host was excellent and even brought around brownies for us! He was so knowledgeable about the area and provided us with lots of great info. The water was so close and easy to get to, with the most beautiful beach on the other side. Definitely an amazing place to stay 10/10 🤗

Site 5 - C- Colo - Just Beautiful..
Beautiful spot, great side quests!
Had an absolutely lovely time the nature here is stunning but what made the whole trip was the host Steve coming down and telling stories about the area, giving out gifts, brownies and letting us have a crack of his whip. The swimming and rope swing were also a big positive for this spot. Would for sure recommend to anyone looking for a nice peaceful surrounding while also having some fun throughout the day/s.

Home away from Home
As first time campers we were nervous about what to expect, thankfully we were blessed with Steve as our Host. He is soo welcoming and informative. He made us feel right at home from the moment we drove onto the property until the time we departed. If you ever feel like a break from the hustle and bustle then this is it. You will not be disappointed! I couldn’t recommend this place enough. We will definitely be frequent campers at C-Colo.

Site 6 - C Colo - Just Beautiful
Campsite was good, close to the river, green grass. The hosts were excellent, the brownies were yummy (the reviews are right, you do get brownies!). The only downside is closeness to the road and the traffic noise. Otherwise a lovely site.

We had a great two nights at C Colo. Steve is an excellent host - helpful, informative and entertaining. The site was easy to locate and access. It was also well maintained and right on the river! Being so close to Sydney makes C Colo a great option for a weekend getaway.

Great spot on the river for a few days away. Steve went out of his way to make all guests welcome and the brownies are to die for! Will definitely be on our list to return.
