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.

C Colo campsite offers a mix of experiences depending on what you're looking for. Most guests appreciate the friendly and accommodating host, Steve, who often surprises campers with his famous brownies and useful local tips. The site's natural setting by the river and its proximity to outdoor activities make it a hit for those seeking a peaceful retreat. However, a few visitors have found the location not as picturesque as advertised, citing proximity to the road and noise as downsides.

Site 4 - C Colo - just beautiful

The camp ground was beautiful, river access from site with easy access for a swim or fishing. My dog loved her time there and loved swimming in the river.

The whole experience was class, went there with a few of the lads and Steve was extremely accommodating and helpful, had plenty of stories did some great demos for the canoeing and made some unreal tasting brownies which went down a treat round the campfire with a few beers 👌🏼 will definitely be coming back, cheers guys!

Site 1 - C Colo - just beautiful

Felt very ripped off and deceived by this place. Ended up packing up and moving somewhere else. It is not as lovely as the pictures and is very much just a paddock. Would not recommend to anyone unless they want to feel like an animal. Very disappointing and very dissatisfied with what we arrived at. STOP BEING DISHONEST AND ADVERTISE EXACTLY WHAT FILTH THIS PLACE IS.

Site 5 - C- Colo - Just Beautiful..

Had a lovely time in this spot! A short, scenic walk to the river led us to a peaceful and secluded area—perfect for our dog. We absolutely loved the brownies and the friendly chats. The recommendations and helpful tips on what to do made our visit even better. Can't wait to come back!

Site 1 - C Colo - just beautiful

We stayed for 3 nights and it was just perfect ! We got the camping spot closest to the water. Before we arrived we got clear instructions from Steve so we knew where to go when we arrived, The first night Steve came by and gave us a little welcome gift and brownies for desert (literally the best WARM brownies ), he also brought these every night for us and on my birthday brought me a gift ☺️ Each day we went in the river and also went on the fire trail walk which Steve recommended as we can take our little pup. He also made it so easy and convenient to get wood which he would have all there in case we wanted to buy some Thanks again Steve, we had the best stay ☺️
