Weekend Trip to River Run Camping

Lovely location, friendly hosts! Even when it’s raining!

4 nights at Hopevale Adventure Camping

The camping areas are generous in size and are well maintained by Jason. We were pleased to see that the firewood we ordered had been delivered to our site before we arrived. The large fire pit and log seating were a welcome bonus. There is also a small dam in which the water is circulated, surprisingly the water was clear to the bottom in the shallow area near the thoughtfully placed steps. The kayak and towels tree were another thoughtful addition to the swimming hole. The area around the dam is fenced off and is a perfect spot for a picnic on the nice soft grass. We were impressed that the cows and horses are kept in separate fields to where we were camping. Our stay at Little Fig Flat was very peaceful, the sounds of the birds chirping was a welcome respite from traffic noise. We will definitely return.

Weekend Trip to Yabba Creek Farm

We had a wonderful stay at Grey Gums. This is not the first time we have stayed, & it won’t be our last. The property is so conveniently located to Imbil township, as well as surrounding attractions. We had a large group at the camp site with 3 caravans, & this site had plenty of space & activities for the kids. Kaylea & Dean were incredibly accommodating & the kids loved the pony ride & meeting the guinea pigs, chickens & turkey. We highly recommend! Kaylea & Dean, thanks again for a fantastic stay.

Weekend Trip to Kenilworth Rural Camping

Quick couple of night stay and we were not disappointed. Great spot close to town. We took our cavoodle dog and she loved every minute of it. Thanks Shane for sharing your property we absolutely loved it. 10/10 from us.

4 nights at Yabba Creek Farm

Hidden gem was absolutely stunning little private spot. Ideal for tents and rooftops. Super quiet and you don’t see your neighbours. Saw the local platypus most mornings and turtles. Kayaks free to use. Perfect little getaway! Will be back.

Weekend Trip to Yabba Creek Farm

Camping at Stones Throw was honestly a 10/10 experience, you absolutely don’t see your neighbour unless you go looking for them. Even with the Stones Throw being the backup spot for if the “Hidden Gem” is taken, it still is very very beautiful and offers a unique view to any other. I forgot my lighter the first night and without a second doubt Kayla and Dean were down with a lighter and fire starters for us. With Kaylea making a delivery for us with more firewood the next night. Dean & Kaylea are lovely and down to earth hosts and I highly recommend ‘stones throw’ to all who are looking for a once in a lifetime experience.

4 nights at Kenilworth Rural Camping

Our new favorite spot by far. Such a lovely little drive down the lane to a beautiful lush green property. All lovely big spacious sites. Fire pits at each site. A short walk down to the river and into town. We walked down for a pizza and highly recommend the pizza place. Short walk to the pub for cold beers and a feed. We will definitely be back. Lovely to meet you Shane thank you for sharing your property.

Weekend Trip to Kenilworth Rural Camping

Huge sites, great for a quiet weekend as a couple or a large group. It's a field and nothing else, but that's what you are booking. We loved it and so did the dogs. Just don't forget the toilet. It's a long walk up the road to a public one. We will be back.

A Place To Call Home

38 sites · RVs, Tents22 acres · Conondale, QLD

Due to new council regulations, we can no longer camp directly near the creek edges as we did before. Our campsites have now been relocated to higher ground, offering beautiful views of the creek. The creek entrances are accessible within 50 to 300 meters, depending on the path you choose. Unplug and unwind at our 22 acre camping paradise nestled amongst the rolling green hills of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Listen to the babbling water sounds of Scrubby Creek and the Mary River that meandering through the perimeter of the property for over 1 kilometer. Stroll through our mini rainforest, paddle in the creek or have a dip in one of the many rock pools. We will even let you build as many rock towers as you like! Throw an inner tube in the creek and float around while the kids laugh and play all day long. Let the kids dig holes or fossick for the perfect skimming rocks, ride bikes or play endless games on the beautiful landscaped grass. Plenty of trees to put up that hammock or soak in the creek with views overlooking the wilderness. Sit back and gaze at the starlit skies while the kids roast yet another marshmallow on the campfire. Snuggle up during winter and cool down around the rainforest in summer. Abundant wildlife, lots of kangaroos and wallabies, koalas and beautiful birds everywhere. Please be aware that weekends are family times and do get busy with extra people. During the week it is very quiet and you could have the whole place to yourself. Sites are allocated on weekends based on numbers, if you are in caravans or tents and if you are camping with children. We have 12 large grassy sites nestled amongst trees located at the higher part of our property. Each site is large and can allow group bookings. Loads of space for tents, camper trailers, caravans or motorhomes. The camping sites are close together however there is loads of areas to set up along the creek during the day. Pets permitted but must be restrained.

Wonderland 4WD Bushcamp

3 sites · RVs, Tents136 acres · QLD

Mountain MiniMoos 4WD Bushcamp is located 15 minutes from Maleny in the heart of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. It features 3 private sites in a spectacular bush setting (and more are coming!). We welcome small groups and their pets and cater to couples and small groups looking for a secluded weekend away. There is a two-night minimum. A 4WD VEHICLE IS NEEDED JUST TO GET ONTO THE PROPERTY. THERE IS NOWHERE TO PARK VEHICLES THAT CAN NOT REACH THE SITES. Please take the track descriptions seriously. We're not embellishing just to discourage inexperienced 4WDers. These are NO JOKE. Gumtree Summit and The Gun Range are up a steep and rocky track that requires technical driving skills and a very capable vehicle. These sites are very difficult to access! In wet weather, you will need to spend a bit of time winching. You need to know what you are doing. When booking, ensure you read each site description thoroughly before requesting a booking. Fuzzy miniature galloway cattle freely roam the property here. If you are not camping at the Summit sites, where they don't tend to go, you may see us driving around in our Jeep, giving them lots of treats and cuddles. Other than that, our hope is that you don't see anyone but the local wildlife.

'The Pines'

1 site · RV, Tent98 acres · Pie Creek, QLD

Enormous Hoop Pine trees shade our 'Tall Timbers' site, but still with easy drive-through parking and set up. The fire pit area is situated perfectly to enjoy the moon rising as it crests the hills. This site is suited to campers wanting to enjoy a bit of forest bathing and earth energy recharging. Yes...you will hear road traffic, but it is far enough away to not be invasive...but the only night lights you will see are the ones from our house and the glow of the moon and sparkling stars. Guests are required to be self-sufficient with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. The whole point of quiet, private camping is to enjoy what nature provides. Our farm is our home and part of our business. We're working hard to bring as much life to our farm as we can and that includes humans too. With lovely 'people free' views (apart from our farm house & sheds) and plenty of space our campsites are a convenient, easy-access option for a bit of r-n-r. Our large dam is close by, but is not designed for swimming or kayaking sorry. Private, but not remote, perfect when you need a break, but you don't have a lot of time to travel. There is easy access to State Forest tracks and roads for walking or mountain biking. The raised fire pit makes for comfortable camp fire cooking with the convenience of a large, solid log table within easy reach. With care, you can easily drive through the site and set yourself up without the need to unhitch the camper trailer, then when ready to leave, pack up and gently follow the curve of the mown grass and you are on your way. Our farm and paddocks are in the process of being restored, so we ask that you not ramble at will as this may damage recovering plant species or worsen erosion sites. 'The Pines' is a working farm and as such, we ask you to respect our space and that of our animals. We will try to not have livestock close by when you are with us, to avoid any interference ( by them or you!), but they do live here and we need to keep to their regular schedule. Everything we do here is to make things better. More water for native animals, more plants for habitat and cooling, so it's essential that when you come here, you bring that same mindset.

Maluka Park

5 sites · RVs, Tents100 acres · Imbil, QLD

Please notify us if you are camping with other campers who have booked a separate site so we can have you camping beside each other. During busy times, most weekend bookings are a minimum of 2 nights with 1 night bookings during the week, however occasionally we will have 1 night bookings on weekends. Check with your host to see availability on 1 night bookings. Kayaks are provided free of charge for all campers to use in Yabba Creek. Please treat them respectfully and return them back to their launching place just below the powerlines. If you wish to bring along your own kayak, you can launch them at the walkway between campsite 8 and 9 where our camp kayaks are stored, however, cars are restricted from driving down to the water edge so you will have to carry them to the water to launch them. Please note that you are responsible for your own kayak. All campsites run parallel too the creek and are situated on the upper bank of Yabba Creek. Some have creek views, the other sites have trees between the creek and their site. All have mountain views. The main access to the creek is half way along the campground between site 8 and 9. Please do not leave your car parked in the walkway as this will block the entrance to campsite 9. Unfortunately, we lost many of our creek access points due to flooding. Our property is situated between Imbil and Lake Borumba on the beautiful Yabba Creek. We have 110 acres, with campsites on 20 acres. We have 1km of creek frontage. The creek offers fishing, swimming and kayaking. If you're lucky you'll spot the platypus in the creek and there's lots of birdlife around so bring your cameras! Kayaks are supplied free for all campers to use. We just ask that you treat them with respect and return them back to their launching place once you have finished with them.

Hopevale Adventure Camping

6 sites · RVs, Tents113 acres · Widgee, QLD

The Cooke Family welcomes you to “Hopevale”. A beautiful 113 acre property bordered by Wrattens National Park at the edge of the world in the peaceful Widgee district of greater Gympie. Jason, a landscaper by trade, and Jacinta a teacher by profession, met many years ago at a national Christian youth conference. Four beautiful children later and many years down the track, they bought Hopevale as a blank cattle fattening property in 2018. After much hard work, they have made it what it is today, with plans to continually improve. We have different camp options available, one of which is set up for those guests also wanting to stay with horses or just have a larger group booking. Guests will have access to a toilet and shower throughout their stay which is within walking distance from each of the campsites. Campfires and pets are welcome. The property has only had 4 farming owners in its 110 odd years since it was first surveyed and selected in 1915. The Hillcoats, Bishops, Cotters, and now the Cooke’s. The families over the years have used the property for timber getting, dairy, beef and small cropping. The property is geologically rich with volcanic soils, sandstone escarpments full of caves and overhangs. The mighty Wrattens Falls sits to the back of the property in the National Park and is a sight to behold in full flow. It feeds the head waters of the western branch of Widgee Creek which meanders through the property. The subtropical dry rainforest clad mountains are dominated by the majestic Bunya and Hoop pines and are a testament to what once was covering the entire property before being cleared for farming. Remnant riparian creek lines are botanically rich and diverse holding Red and White Cedar, Teak, Silky oak and many other coveted timber trees harvested back in the day. There are many species of animals and birds that call Hopevale home. From water dragons, frogs and fish in the creeks, monitors, wallabies, deer, koalas, possums and phascogales in the eucalypts. Red-back wrens, pardalotes, rainbow bee-eaters, finches and quail call the open grasses home while whip birds give their iconic call in the forest. Above, birds of prey ride the thermals of the valley looking for their next meal. “We have been blessed beyond measure with a small slice of God’s wonderful creation that we would love to share with you.”

Happy farmer sitting in a truck in a grassy field

Camping near Boreen Point with wildlife watching guide

Overview

Roughly 45 minutes north of the Sunshine Coast, Boreen Point sits on the shores of Lake Cootharaba. Pitch the tent or park the motorhome at a caravan park in town that offers convenient amenities, like powered sites, laundry facilities, and camp kitchens. Then visit the natural splendour of Great Sandy National Park, Amamoor State Forest, and Brooyar State Forest, which also offer camping options and outdoor activities for all ages. From swimming to sand dunes, rainforest walks, and rock climbing cliffs, Boreen Point is a thrill-seeker's gateway to adventure.

Where to go

Great Sandy National Park

A 20-minute drive from Boreen Point brings campers to Great Sandy National Park. It’s broken up into two sections. The World Heritage-listed K’gari is in the north (also known as Fraser Island) and the Cooloola Recreation Area is in the south, attached to the mainland. Climb huge sand dunes, visit white silica sand beaches, dive into the crystal clear waters of Lake Mackenzie, or venture into the Noosa Everglades to experience a diverse range of wildlife. Drop the kayak or canoe into the water to discover rustic lakeside bush camping options or get pampered with flush toilets, hot showers, and BBQ facilities at site-designated campgrounds for tents, trailers, and caravans.

Amamoor State Forest

Campers can stretch their legs on the many walking trail options in Amamoor State Forest, roughly 45 minutes from Boreen Point. Walk the Fig Tree Circuit that weaves through macadamia nut trees, capture snapshots of a waterfall, and scoop up yabbies from Amamoor Creek. Swags, travel trailers, and caravans are welcome in on-site campgrounds equipped with fire rings and flush toilets. Keep an eye on the tree canopy while settling in, as it’s a popular spot for birds to perch. Remember to bring wood for campfires, as the forest is off-limits for scavenging.

Brooyar State Forest

Enjoy pet-friendly camping in Brooyar State Forest, roughly an hour from Boreen Point. Campsites here are suitable for small tents to large motorhomes. Amenities like picnic tables, compost toilets, non-potable water, and fire rings offer more convenience. Wake up and take a scenic drive through the woods and make a pit stop at the sandstone cliffs of Point Pure Lookout. Catch views of the hoop pine plantations and eucalyptus forest below. Rock climbers can challenge themselves at Eagles Nest abseiling site, while hikers head to Glastonbury Creek to spot local critters like platypus, turtles, and fish.

When to go

Boreen Point sees slightly more rain than surrounding areas, even in drier months, so bring gumboots to roam around comfortably. Summer sees hotter temperatures as well as stormy skies throughout February. All that moisture produces tons of fresh flowers that decorate the trees in Brooyar State Forest. December is the sunniest month, making it a top choice for outdoor activities like picnicking and hiking. The cooler temperatures and semi-dry skies in June, July, and August are great times for rock climbers to scale cliffs without breaking a sweat.
