As the name suggests, the property is on a hill in Glenview Sunshine Coast, we have some flat areas perfect for camping or caravan set-ups with some spectacular views out over the Sunshine Coast and local bush land which you may see some local kangaroos or spot the local black cockatoos, and stunning views of the stars on clear nights.
Dog and children friendly. Campfires permitted in a designated area when restrictions aren't in place. No toilets or potable water available - please bring your own.
Access to the property is via a gravel road. Due to the condition of the driveway, an SUV or 4WD vehicle is most suitable to access the property.

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.

Easy to find and very beautiful views all around and the hosts are very friendly. The sites was also very big and you are far from your neighbors. Would diffidently recommend for a weekend away and there is lots to do in the area as well.

Absolutely stunning! Sites were far enough away from each other that you felt like you were the only ones there. Amply amount of room and unreal views!! Was able to have a great fire (easily able to purchase firewood). The view was to die for!!

Riverdell is hands-down the best HipCamp we’ve ever visited !!
The booking process was smooth, communication was excellent, and the site and location were simply incredible. Couldn’t fault it — 10/10!

We loved our stay at Jacqueline's place, camping in the rain forest beside a beautiful creek.
Jacqui had the camping spot nicely set up with Hammocks, coffee and tea ready to enjoy.
There was lots to do around the area as well,
We can definitely recommend this place

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!

Such a peaceful camp at Riverdell. The ocean view site had the most incredible view I’ve ever seen at a campsite.
The site was tidy, with a fantastic fire pit. Grass was green, as was the whole valley. A nice breeze every night as well.
Definitely need 4wd, as the tracks are very steep. The river at the bottom of the valley was a beautiful spot. Although quite a hike down and back up, as the vehicle track was closed.
Would recommend this place to anyone after a scenic peaceful getaway.
