A short 2.5 hours from Brisbane and nestled in the magical Sunshine Coast Hinterland, our property is surrounded by Conondale National Park. Featuring 60 acres of lush rainforest, soft grass, a running creek and lots of wildlife, we are working towards our important vision of regeneration, natural building and traditional organic farming.
Booloumba Creek runs along the boundary and has crystal clear waters with a magical rainbow of coloured rocks in the creek.
The property is literally at the end of the road, surrounded by the national park and rainforest, which is normally only accessible by 4WD, camping at our property gives you access to a beautiful park and walks which may otherwise be inaccessible.
We have 4 sites but only accept one booking at a time perfect for just one tent and a private getaway or for groups of families and friends. Message to discuss any special group needs including catering or how to book a group into multiple sites.
If you want to just arrive and immediately relax, in addition to the tents already set up we can also provide a Welcome meal for groups of 6 or more or a breakfast/dinner package. Please message for details and availability.
We are a 10 minute drive from the township of Kenilworth where you’ll be able to pick up supplies for your holiday. The town is noted for its bakery with donuts, the Kenilworth Dairy and has a growing market on Saturday mornings. The famous Eumundi Markets are 45 minutes away and open on Wednesday and Saturdays.
We love celebrating food and a healthy life, and inviting people to enjoy our space is one step, with the vision for the accommodation to support events and education based around food, plant medicine, natural building and celebrating connections with friends, family and nature.

This campsite has access to flushing toilets (toilets are situated approx. 400m from the camp sites) and water (rainwater), but you will need to bring your own camping shower.

Dean was a great host. Easy access and area for caravan was well maintained. Loved the outdoor bush shower and easy access to Yabba Creek. We paddled the free kayaks down to Imbil and back. Great fun. Relaxed around the fire at night and enjoyed the quietness. Great stay for three nights.

I camped down in a quiet wooded area to escape the rat race for a couple of days. There were tons of kangaroos and pademelons in the paddock nearby, and the bird life was amazing. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the facilities were spotless. It was great having use of the kitchen especially when it rained.
I felt like I had access to everything I needed.

Silky oaks was the perfect spot to unwind.
Short walk to the creek with kayaks for the guests to use. Great for swimming or spending the day in the kayak.
Amenities are clean. Grounds are kept perfect.
We’d definitely visit again.

This was my second time camping at Yabba Creek Farm, this time at the Hidden Gem site. It is the most stunning location and I had the best time exploring Yabba Creek with the free kayaks provided.
The owners are lovely and do such a great job running this Hipcamp - toilets are always clean and check-in is easy and relaxed.
As a solo female camper I feel very safe here. I loved every minute of my stay and recommend this campsite to people all the time. I really don't see how it could be any better - thanks guys!!

We had an amazing and relaxing weekend here. Gary assigned us a very nice and secluded camping site where we made a fire, enjoyed the creek, took a few good walks, and spent time with our pets.
Thank you very much for your hospitality and for allowing us to spend some time at this wonderful place.

A place to call home is by far one of best places I've ever camped. The place is beautiful with clear water in the river and picturesque surroundings and the hosts Thea and Gary where very welcoming and accommodating. My favourite part was at 5pm when all the campers would meet up around a camp fire and be treated to Gary's great damper as we get to know new people. What a great community they are building and what a great experience we will definitely be back 😀

We were met at the property by Kaylea who was super nice!! She led us to our site which was “Stones Throw”. She told us where the sun sets and rises etc so we could plan where we set up if we wanted shade etc. So helpful. We absolutely loved it. If I’m honest I didn’t think I was going to stay past the first night because of a spider or 2. Obviously not their fault but I was petrified lol. But so glad we stayed!!
We loved the kayaks, the creek was amazing, the property was well looked after. Looking at the mountains was great. It was quiet considering there were lots of people staying here. The loudest people were those staying at other hipcamps in the creek.
I will say the only thing is the toilets were a bit far away. There was no way in hell I was walking there in the middle of the night. But it wouldn’t stop me from coming back. Thanks Kaylea and Dean for opening up your paradise for us to enjoy! 😊

We love this spot and keep coming back to try all the different sites - all of them are amazing! One of the highlights has to be the kayaks provided and swimming in Yabba Creek - a fantastic way to spend the day, particularly in summer! And the hike up the hill to the viewing platform is a perfect spot for sunrise or sunset. It’s dog friendly too, and our two pups love their adventures here. Brian and Jeanna are great hosts and keep everything well looked after, with fire pits provided for each site. Each site is spaced out well to give privacy. There is a toilet block for those campers who aren’t self-contained, which is located a reasonable walking distance from the campsites. All in all it’s an absolutely beautiful property to enjoy a short or long stay, and we will definitely be back again!

We had a wonderful and relaxing weekend, whether we were sitting by the fire and enjoying the stars or paddling down the river in the kayaks. A great location and can’t wait to come back again. Close to the dam, Imbil and Kenilworth. Highly recommended.

Hello Happy Campers
Was lovely arriving to this very lush green and mowed campground. Everywhere nice, clean and tidy.
Followed by a warm welcoming providing us with all necessary information for our stay.
Creek was flowing so enjoyed cooling off.
Toilets clean with necessary supplies.
Looking forward to coming back again soon for some more country side relaxation.
Very happy we chose Maluka Park.

This was a magical place to camp. Rolling green hills and a stunning creek with free kayaks to use. Brian and Jeanna are so lovely and checked in to see we were ok. You can have campfires there in the designated fire pits and you can bring your fur babies on a lead. There are four flushing toilets. It’s so close to Imbil and a 25 minute drive to Kenilworth to go to the pub or to get supplies. It’s perfect.

The caretakers were lively and very accommodating, showing us around the site. This is an extremely beautiful location. Anyone looking for a closeup experience either kangaroos will love it! In the evening kangaroos can be found lounging around the campsite.
The toilet block is meticulously clean and the hot showers were great.
The only caution when booking is that the sites are quite close together. Probably only 20 meters apart. However, the groups on each side were very respectful and no one bothered each other.
And don’t cover that if you’re there on a Friday and Saturday that the “Village Green” is open for pizza’s! As good as can be found anywhere!

Wonderland camp was truly special. We were the only campers there all weekend & had the entire place to ourselves, just us & the highland mini cows. We loved the 4wd drive track to the summit. It was lovely & cool up there with plenty of trees for shade. If we had any questions, Jeremy the host was easy to contact & very helpful. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience, we will definitley be back!
