This property is a Pristine Riverfront property in Colo Valley. It is a tidal river with sandy shallow sandbars and 10ft deep swimming holes. There is an abundance of native animals here including kangaroos, lyre birds, lace monitors, platypus and more! Access is via a short dirt driveway to the riverfront camping area. The access is 2wd unless there has been significant rain it becomes 4wd access. We can accommodate both small and large groups with sites just steps away from the river. We have 2 water entrances, one is a large grassed area with shallow water which is great for kids & families. The other entrance is a natural sandy entry with a deeper swimming area suitable for adults. We also have a beautiful lagoon area where I can arrange additional campers. We have built some new flushing toilets (3) with a hot water shower. We are very accommodating of your pets. We welcome dogs and can host horses in one of the paddocks. Please ensure you contact the host prior to your stay if you are bringing any animals.  We have canoes & floats which you can hire to paddle up the river. Additional activities here include fishing, swimming, bushwalking, canoeing & birdwatching. We are also only a 5 minute drive to Colo Riverside Cafe. We also have 2 beautiful brand new glamping tents that you can hire. Please see our extras. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Lovely stay!
We loved camping at Shady Acres. Great facilities, lovely flat land to pitch our tents, plenty of shade, easy access to the river, clean!!! Toilets and showers, fire pits provided but most of all a suuuuuper friendly and helpful host who made our stay that much more memorable. Will definitely be back again.

We had a lovely time over New Years spending it by the river at Shady Acres. Lisa was very welcoming and gave us great knowledge of the local area. Which made an awesome day trip. At Shady they have great facilities, perfect for those who are trying camping for the first time or just want a normal flushing toliet and shower. I'd highly recommend Shady Acres to others.

Great campsite! Highly recommended
Lovely secluded campsite with entry to the colo river! Lisa was a great host and had lots of leftover floaties and kayaks to use. Would highly recommend for group of friends or family!! Hot showers and toilets available + campfires were allowed! Just be mindful of the new turf. :)

Work buddies and I went up for two nights just after Christmas. We arrived to a clean, well maintained site with good amenities - communal BBQ, some furniture and water sports equipment, toilets and hot showers. Lisa was fantastic - she gave us some great fishing tips and also arranged kayaking for us one morning on short notice. Incredibly serene spot. We will definitely be back.
