It is such a hidden gem! The setting is peaceful and perfect for relaxing, with plenty of space to set up camp and enjoy nature. Steve, who helped us during our stay, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He even treated us to some of his amazing brownies, which were an absolute highlight. Definitely a place to unwind and enjoy great hospitality!

Not private, off a busy road

Tent · With kids ·

There was some good and bad, not sure if we would stay again. The campsite pictures were abit misleading and not as private as we hoped, it was so close to the road and the main gates were left open all day and night. During the day people walked off the street to enter the camp-site to walk to the creek entrance, they were not campers. Due to the close proximity to the road and the bridge the noise of cars were heard day and night, there was a really bright street light that lit up too much of our camp-site. Host was friendly and welcoming especially with the kids bringing over gifts and a turtle he found on the road to let the kids release the turtle into the water, that was a real treat. On the first night he brought around brownies it was so kind, but then he visited every night with more brownies at 9.30pm, this is too late for site visits and knowing we had kids dropping off brownies everyday seemed excessive, some others would definitely appreciate this but I felt this was unnecessary and encroaching on our privacy... The sites were not marked clearly no one knew which sites they were supposed to be at as others arrived after us, people were all seeking directions from each other.... Having the entrance to the creek nearby was really good as it was an easy short walk and deep enough to swim so that was lovely... overall it wasn't terrible but there were just a few things that would make me hesitant to recommend this place if youre a regular camper and like priv

Have stayed here twice now and was a really good experience. Steve is a very friendly and helpful host. Site is right off river. Fun time to float all day and go off rope swing

Fig Tree Hill

We had a lovely time staying at Fig Tree Hill. Having our own private spot was wonderful and it was a pleasure to chat with the very friendly host Steve. The site is worth it just for the daily fresh brownie delivery. The site is close to the main road so there was some loud car noise but considering we were wandering distance to the river and close to beautiful state park walks we had nothing to complain about.

The hospitality here was great. I had originally planned to just go once overnight as a test of my new set up but I will be back again for sure. Recommend getting on the river as much as possible.

Camping here was brilliant. Easy access in both 2WD and AWD. We camper with an offroad trailer and had no issues having a flat spot and more than adequate space. The sites are distributed well across the property giving some privacy. The toilet was well maintained by Steve, along with firewood (if ordered) and any other tips about the area. Whilst the sites are not absolute river front, it's quick and easy access and the river is absolutely brilliant for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding etc.... a true relief from the heat and. Other freatures include fire drums and pizza oven. Yes the road is close by, however it isn't going to put us off from visiting again. We loved this camp, and the hosts who were fun, accommodating and they made the most delicious brownies for us!!! Thanks Steve and Dan for having us, we had a fab time and wish you all the best in 2026.

Great spot. The river was a treat on the hot days, can be a little noisy with traffic from the bridge at night but more then made up for by our Host Steve and his incredible brownies ☺️

My family and I had a great time relaxing at the campsite. Steve was a brilliant host and we loved the brownies he brought us! There is a bit of traffic on the road nearby but not too disturbing. My only wish would be that the river access be made easier, the path down to the water is quite overgrown and steep, and the actual waterside area is not particularly inviting.

Site 6 - C Colo - Just Beautiful

We paid $100/night for what was advertised as a premium campground but found a poorly maintained site that fell drastically short of expectations. Site 1, supposedly "premium," was completely slanted with no flat area for comfortable sleeping, whether in a tent, van, or rooftop setup. The site sits directly beside the river access "ramp" and "toilet", resulting in constant foot traffic through our space. The river "ramp" was merely a dirt slide with no safe access. You sit in your kayak and hope for the best sliding down. The "toilet" consisted of rough planks hastily assembled, a dirty shower curtain for a door, and a barrel with a hole cut in it plus a sawdust bucket. Shrek's toilet would be preferable. The entire campground sits adjacent to a busy road with constant traffic noise and was littered with rubbish throughout. When we contacted the owner with these concerns, he dismissed our complaints, claiming he saw "only smiling faces" and suggesting we use a public bathroom 150m away if unsatisfied. We documented everything with photos and requested a refund, which was immediately denied. We chose to leave and loose the $200 rather than stay another minute. The owner's photos are misleading. Even $10/night would be excessive for this site. National park campgrounds offer vastly superior facilities and value. Save yourself the disappointment & money, avoid this campground entirely.

Always amazing to camp at the Colo River.It was for the second time i went there, and it is always great. Steve is incredibly friendly and welcoming , the brownies are absolutely amazing, and canoeing on the Colo River is hands down the best part. Such a beautiful, relaxing experience would definitely recommend!

Great camping site for a family (we went as a family of 3) or would be awesome for a bigger group. Very close to the river with a ladder provided to get in and out easily and canapés/kayaks for hire. BYO everything except a firepit as these are provided. Steve is an incredible host.

I stayed at Steve’s camp recently and really enjoyed my time there overall. The location is great—nice and close to Sydney, with a good hike just up the road that makes it easy to explore the area. Steve himself was an absolute legend! His brownies, stories, prizes, and local knowledge really added a special touch to the stay and made the experience more personal and fun. A few things to note for future campers: the map could use an update as it was a bit hard to read, and the campsite is fairly close to the road, so you’ll hear some road noise at times. There’s also a bright streetlight that stays on all night, which might bother some people depending on which site they’re in. The walk to the bathroom at night or early morning can be a little awkward since it goes through other campsites. Overall though, it was a great stay with a friendly vibe, good amenities, and an unbeatable location for a quick getaway from the city.

We loved our short stay at Fig Tree Hill. The site we had was tucked away in a beautiful spot a short walk from river. Steve was a great host and very knowledgeable about the area. I would absolutely stay at this site again. Helped to have a higher clearance vehicle to drive in closer to the particular site we were staying at

The place is ok overall. The kayaks were working well right next to the river, the view is nice but the quality of the camping site is regular. The bathroom is a latrine and campfires are not allowed. Is works well to get disconnected close to the city for one day.

We loved camping here! Steve was an amazing host so friendly and kind especially when we ran into tent and car issues. The canoe over to the beach and the beautiful swim in the river was incredible. We will definitely be back! Thank you Steve for a brilliant weekend.

Perfect for getaway and recreation.

We had a great time with just two of us at C Colo but can see it would also work really well for groups too. There is variety between the campsites and we found a perfect little one to suit just us. Steve and Danielle were great hosts and we enjoyed a good chat. It rained on arrival but the land dried quickly and it wasn't an issue at all. We will absolutely come back to explore more on a longer stay soon!
