We welcome self-sufficient campers who seek to disconnect, rewild and enjoy an intimate camping experience. To ensure a private and relaxed environment, we limit the campground to two large sites within this paddock, providing ample space for caravans, campers, and tents. Each site covers approximately 900 square meters, allowing plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the natural surroundings.
Nestled in a valley of rolling green hills beneath Mapleton National Park you'll find our beautiful property. Easy access from a well maintained dirt road. Cedar creek runs through the middle of the property for a nice refreshing swim in the swimming hole by the bridge or explore the meandering creek. There is a 4wd access road through to the mapleton national park for you to enjoy the hiking trails and nature.
We want your camping experience at Cedar Banks to be delightful while respecting our local community, wildlife, and surroundings.
To keep the area pristine, fires must be in allocated pits. You must bring your own wood or purchase some from us in advance and we will have it ready for you on arrival.
Pets are welcome with prior approval, but they must follow property rules. Swimming is allowed only during daylight hours, and caution is advised due to natural creek conditions. Jumping or diving is prohibited.
For the safety of all guests, property access is strictly for booked individuals, and non-paying visitors are not permitted. We encourage exploration on foot, as all areas are easily accessible. Please do not drive your vehicle around the property.
As there are no on-site toilets, kindly bring your own camp toilet and ensure proper waste removal. You will find a free dump point at Eumundi RV stop over on Napier road or in Kenilworth at the Showgrounds.
At Cedar Banks, we promote a friendly and respectful environment. Let's all contribute to a memorable and enjoyable camping experience by adhering to these simple guidelines.
PLEASE NOTE: Cedar Banks is currently seeking development approval from the Sunshine Coast Council to operate a function facility (i.e. venue) and hipcamp. We are therefore presently unable to conduct any tours or accept any camp bookings. An update will be posted when Council has made a decision on our Development Application.

A cleared grass/gravel paddock close to everything Maroochydore, Coolum and the Sunshine Coast has to offer! Our land backs onto the Maroochy River (no direct access but the boat ramp is less than 5 minute drive away) and each site is sheltered by tall trees. There are 3 defined sites with plenty of room for privacy and escape in nature. Bring your own push bike or walking shoes to explore the mangroves and bushland. We have an abundance of native wildlife and it’s a good idea to bring mozzie/insect repellent.
We do have plenty of firewood available although if it’s been raining it will be best to BYO wood. We have a communal fire pit you can use (please don't camp on the grass near the fire pit).
We kindly ask all campers to be 100% self-sufficient as we do not have any waste, water, or power facilities. You carry it in you carry it out.
Our site is 2WD friendly although once again if it's been raining it's best to stick to the gravel roads. Please message me if you have any questions!
To keep us all safe, we have some VERY IMPORTANT notes:
Please stay on the gravel roads - there are deep holes and drains hidden by long grass on neighbouring blocks. These can cause damage to vehicles and you will need a tow truck to be recovered.
Bring your pets, please keep them close as we have no fences.

It’s such a beautiful place. The host are friendly and welcoming. As we didn’t take fishing rods we found out there was fish there. So close to Montville for a bit of shopping. Me and my partner bought kayaks for the adventure and so so so good. So many rivers to kayak in. Grassy camping.
We will definitely 100% be back
Thankyou Mike and Ginny and your amazing family ❤️

Be mindful that there are a few ticks around in the bush it's definitely worth watching and checking your pups, but besides that it was absolutely beautiful. every morning a family of kangaroos were at our site and very polite magpies always hanging around the fire, there is not walkable access to any water or river but it's not a far drive across the bridge. You have an incredible view of a field looking out towards mount Coolum, it's absolutely stunning at sunset and sunrise. Coming from people who generally live in a polluted s******* town the stars were something to behold, something we'll never forget. Besides the incredible campsite the location is absolutely prime, you were about 20 minutes drive from waterfalls and about five minute drives from kayaking and rivers, of course you gotta stop by the surf and beach and the town mall to feed the fish on your trip and make the most of this town
Thankyou very much Dani it was an honour to stay here and we expect to return next year, we left some firewood for the next camper and we hope they enjoy the site as much as we did.
