I loved my stay at Narelle's property! Camping right next to the creek was so calm and peaceful, and so nice for a dip to cool off too! The property is beautiful and Narelle is a very friendly and helpful host, great for a chat and she even helped me jump start my car! What a champ! The location is close enough to Gympie but feels worlds away. I will definitely be back.

Nice and peaceful. Great views. Directions to spot were clear. Fire pits to use. We would stay again. Had to use patience when leaving as cows where on both sides of gate trying to get in or out and wouldn't move off easy.The orchard had enough sun for solar and shade to cool off.

The best big rig friendly camping near Maleny guide
Where to go
Glass House Mountains
South of Maleny, the misty peaks of the Glass House Mountains provide dreamy vistas for hikers and campers, surrounded by forested foothills. Snag a Hipcamp near the Glass House Mountains National Park or Beerburrum State Forest and explore miles of hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding trails. Alternatively, the camping area at Beerwah State Forest has motorhome and caravan sites, and there’s bush camping at D’Aguilar National Park.
Sunshine Coast
An about 30-minute drive from Maleny, the Sunshine Coast is one of Queensland’s flagship beach destinations, home to white-sand beaches, world-class surf spots, and lively seaside towns. Choose a holiday park or caravan park within walking distance of the beach around Caloundra, Mooloolaba, or Noosa, or head to Great Sandy National Park, where the 24 camping areas have beachside and riverside campsites suitable for campervans, camper trailers, or tents.
Hinterlands
Maleny is the ideal basecamp for exploring the Sunshine Coast hinterlands, hopping between market towns like Kenilworth, Gympie, and Montville. Hike the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Great Walk through Mapleton Falls National Park, swim beneath the waterfalls at Kondalilla National Park, or head to Conondale National Park to camp along Booloumba Creek.
When to go
There are no prizes for guessing the weather along the Sunshine Coast, and the sun shines year-round in the hinterlands, too! With temperatures slightly cooler inland, Maleny makes a great spot to escape the heat in summer (it can still reach 30°C, though, so be prepared) or explore the outdoors in winter. Summer rains also make this the best time for admiring the region’s waterfalls. Visit on a Sunday to experience the popular Maleny Sunday Market.
