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.

It’s close to the highway - easy off and back on. Turned out to be a good spot for us. Lovely grassy area with birdlife and wildlife. Safe to leave the Van and explore (wheel lock etc of course). We had the place to ourselves but could have had more campers nearby.
The highway noise was consistent but not intrusive. Saw some massive kangaroos and a very friendly kookaburra.

This is our 3rd stay at Guppy Gully. Campsite 4 is great because it is the last campsite so no people passing by. The whole area is very well laid out with a good distance between site. Very relaxing and quiet stay.

Wow, what an incredible spot. The place is a credit to Ryan & his partner for how well it’s looked after.
Grass is beautiful & mowed neatly. We were there after heavy rain & had no dramas. Plenty of rain through the night.
Had a short stroll near the creek, pleasant even if too shallow for a dip.
Did the walking track up past site 5, stretched the calves 🤣 the rain had made it pretty slippery up there.
We stayed in site 2, in the shade for morning. Every site has a firepit in it & if you’ve forgotten your chair there’s log bench!
Don’t need to be self contained as there is a rustic toilet & shower too.
Although we brought our firewood I believe it’s available from them.
Almost don’t want to recommend so we can keep this place a secret!!!

Lovely quiet spot. Very well maintained lawn like field to park on and soak up the countryside.
Easy to find location with information provided by owner perfect. The camping spots were well placed and well spaced out. Being an easy walk to town was great and the pub dinner enjoyable.
