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.
Grady's is a pet friendly Retreat and we also allow campfires. We strongly believe these few extra things are essential to create a true camping experience.

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.
Our camping spot was down on the river. Just a short walk to the nice amenities which were always kept clean. The property had its own jumping pillow, park and mini bmx bike circuit for the kids. There were allocated camping sites which were quite large and plenty of space between sites.
Great little campground, big unpowered spots overlooking the river. Amenities were good, we didnt use the camp kitchen. Campgrounds were quite busy for a random march wknd, and this is not bush camping so if campgrounds arent your thing plenty of others available.
Kids had a blast kayaking and paddle boarding across the river, recommend life vests if they are not strong swimmers. Also the bouncey pillow and the playground were a hit with lots of kids.
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???
