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.

Site 5 - C- Colo - Just Beautiful..
Beautiful Colo River
We had a great couple of days at C-Colo! The camp site was nice, not too many people, with easy access to the river down a short track. We rented a kayak and paddled upstream to a beautiful beach and my son absolutely loved the rope swing which was a short swim away. So much fun and close to Sydney.

Definitely recommend!
My friends and I had a fantastic time! Couldn’t recommend this spot enough. Located right on the river - really couldn’t get any closer. The host, Steve, was also incredible. Great chat and very attentive!
