    Grady’s Riverside Retreat was first established in 1979. The retreat is located 20 minutes west of Nowra and is set on 17 secluded acres on the banks of the beautiful Shoalhaven River, surrounded by natural bushland, mountains, cliffs and dairy pastures. This makes Grady’s Riverside Retreat an ideal place to bring your friends and family to relax, unwind and enjoy the scenery. Grady’s has over 500 metres of direct access to the Shoalhaven River. The river is deep and also is title which means we have a large variety of fresh and saltwater fish that inhabit these waters. Majority of our well maintained grassy sites are located along the river or have uninterrupted river views. With a boat ramp and beach areas for you to utilise at your leisure.

    Camping at this site offers a mix of serene river views and spacious, grassy campsites perfect for both families and couples. Most campers appreciate the clean amenities and the opportunity to enjoy activities like swimming and fire pits at each site. However, some guests noted that the area can become crowded, especially by the creek side during weekends, and the flies can be a nuisance. Despite these concerns, the friendly staff and picturesque landscape keep visitors coming back.

    Not really a retreat just barking dogs constantly River access is limited and just gets crowded. The abundance of fish due to it being tidal not (title) as per the website leaves a lot to wonder as how do flathead etc get up rapids???

    Clear directions to campsite, clean amenties, spacious campsites. My partner and I picked a more secluded campsite that overlooked the river, it was very quiet and felt private. The general organisation is superb, it is definitely an established caravan park.

    We only stayed one night but it was a really peaceful, clean and well serviced campground. Most sites had a river view and fire pit. Toilets were clean and well maintained. Would definitely like to return for a longer visit next time
