C Colo campsite offers a mix of experiences depending on what you're looking for.

The site's natural setting by the river and its proximity to outdoor activities make it a hit for those seeking a peaceful retreat.

Site 1 - C Colo - just beautiful
The area we camped at had a few camp sites but we were the only ones there so it was very peaceful. The campsite we had was secluded from all the others with a wall of greenery and purple flowers and the river to one side.
Another boon was the campfire. There was an old milk tank cut in half which elevated the fire and was perfect for cooking over and also radiated some good heat. They also have some wood there for purchase so you never need to worry about running out.
The owner is also very friendly and pops in each night to make sure you're all good and to share some cool history of the area. They also have some bangin' brownies.
Only one downside for us was the trucks crossing the bridge nearby early in the morning but honestly, it won't stop us from being back, absolutely loved it.

Site 3 - C Colo - just beautiful
Overall we enjoyed camping here. The river is nice and the nature is beautiful around. You do have to cross the river swimming to get to the beach area (there is no way to get there by foot) so be aware of that if you have pets or kids.
The road really was much closer to our camp than we thought it would be… I am a deep sleeper yet kept getting woken up by trucks, bikes and cars going over the bridge… it was LOUD and it goes on through the night, I had to wear earplugs. There is also a big street lamp that illuminated our camping area way more than we would’ve liked, I didn’t care much about this but it bothered some of my friends.
The host cutting firewood with a chainsaw just meters away from us as we were trying to have breakfast was…off putting to say the least. He was otherwise quite hospitable but we also felt like we didn’t have a huge amount of privacy as he dropped by multiple times throughout the day - I guess some people would appreciate this but it felt a bit much to us.

We had an incredible stay at Fig Tree Hill for my 30th birthday with a group of 20 friends, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The campsite is beautifully secluded—tucked away from the other sites by a road and a hill—so we didn’t have to stress about making too much noise. It felt like we had our own private little retreat in nature.
Steve, the host, was absolutely lovely. He made us feel so welcome and even brought us warm brownies fresh from the oven, which was such a thoughtful and unexpected treat! We were also able to grab some firewood from him, which kept our big communal fire pit going all night.
The river is just across the road and was ideal for a swim or floating around on inflatables—it was a huge hit with everyone. There’s also a small gazebo at the site that provides some shelter, though we brought our own setup as well.
All in all, Fig Tree Hill was fantastic—peaceful, scenic, and the perfect spot for a celebration. Would 100% recommend and we’re already talking about coming back!

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.

Site 2 - C Colo - just beautiful
The host Steve was lovely and engaging. He visited our site several times to check in and provide information of the location and deliver fresh cooked brownies. There’s a lovely walk out to a lookout, which is worth the effort. Bring your swimmers, the river was lovely and refreshing on a hot day.
