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.

Excellent stay, easy to access and very private. Beautiful Koalas in the gum trees above us. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Loved this place! We stayed 3 nights and were welcomed by 2 resident koalas, kangaroos and emus. Brendan was welcoming and also had wood ready! Clear track to a secluded campsite. 10mins from Portland city with shops. Best of both worlds here. Definately come back here and would highly recommend.

Camp 2 by the water hole
Beautiful spot, feels remote but not too far from the main road. We liked the fireplace and firewood offered. You need to be fully self contained. Would recommend.

Incredible wildlife in serenity
We absolutely loved our stay here, set up our camper on the nice flat spot near the waterhole. Absolute privacy, incredible amount of wildlife to see, we saw many species of birds, including emus! And a resident koala mum and joey, they’re so incredibly cute. The kid’s enjoyed exploring and getting back to nature away from it all, but only ten or so minutes from amenities. Will definitely be back!

Camp amongst the birds
If you enjoy bird life then this is the spot. Level and accessible for our hybrid caravan. Brendon and his lovely daughter checked in on us providing firewood. Just 12 mins drive into town. Great place to relax.
