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 2 - C Colo - just beautiful
We stayed for 1 night and I would highly recommend! Steve is an amazing host and goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and ensures you have everything you need. The camp spot we had was under a tree and had a little fire pit so it was perfect at night to sit by the fire and stare at the stars. It was the perfect getaway from Sydney to relax and unwind.

Steve made our stay special. He briefed us into the camping activities, chopping wood, swimming in the river, kayaking, etc. He gifted us knife/fork/spoon tool and shared with us a homemade-double-protein brownie which was delicious. The site is next to the river, with fire pits, a common table and chairs. Looking forward to come back.

In the description, it should be made clearer that the campsites aren’t on the river bank like the photos suggest. It’s really just a field with no facilities and you walk to the nearby park to enter the water from steps. The river is gorgeous to swim in. The road along the perimeter was noisy with lots of dirt bikes coming and going. Steve was a lovely host however, arriving to meet us with a gift and later, lovely homemade chocolate brownies.

Great spot just out of Sydney with direct water access & an easy walk up to the local cafe for some lukewarm brown water pretending to be coffee make sure you bring earplugs the trucks coming through Putty Rd during the night are loud. We had a fab stay tho & Steve is a deadset legend!

Steve was an amazing host. Happy share his local knowledge of the area . Convenient location to Bilpin & surrounding attractions. Just a short stroll to the river for a nice swim or Kayak. Only downfall the putty is a bit noisy.
