This property is located at the base of Mount Richmond, just 15 minutes from Portland. Bridgwater lakes is just down the road. And Bridgwater bay about 10 km from camp.  We have grassy site available with plenty of shade for self contained campers. We often have Kangaroos and Koalas along with plenty of other wildlife on the property so keep an eye out and make the most of a great wildlife watching opportunity. There are a number of water holes on the property the wildlife like to enjoy. The property borders a section of the Great South West Walk and you can easily get onto the track from here. This walk has some stunning scenery and is a great spot to enjoy this part of the coastline, all from a comfortable base back at camp. Campfires are permitted in the fire pit provided pending there is no restrictions in place. Pets are welcome but please clean up after them and ensure they respect the wildlife in the area.  We look forward to welcoming you to Shaddy gums.

Camp 2 by the water hole
Explorers dream campsite!
We had a really great stay, very quiet & secluded. We stayed beside the water & were thrilled to find no mozzies, but there are flies. Finding firewood wasn’t a problem around, the pit supplied is a great size We saw a koala, wallaby, kangaroos, an echidna & countless parrots & birds! We stayed with our two children (4&6 years old) who loved exploring the property. Fascinating things to see all over the block, old/run down cars, house & much more to see Would absolutely come again if we are ever in the area again.

Great stop over for us heading through Portland. Very quiet and relaxing. Recommend camping next to the water hole.

A great place to call home!
What a peaceful and relaxing pace to call home for a number of nights! We extended our stay due to the location being central to the beautiful Bridgewater Lakes and bay and greater Portland area. The directions to get in were perfect, just be careful with putting the address into Google Maps as it will take you down the dirt road, but the gate is just before the dirt track and has a sign to show you that you are indeed at 'Shaddy Gums'

Great place to camp
Tent camping at Shaddy Gums was very enjoyable. The natural wildlife and birdlife was great. Had koalas right outside our tent. The spot was private and our dog had a lovely time off leash.
