Kalimna Country Retreat – Space, Privacy & True Country Calm
Escape the crowds and unwind in the wide-open beauty of the Mary Valley at Kalimna Country Retreat, a peaceful working cattle and sheep property offering large, private, and beautifully maintained campsites, just minutes from the Bruce Highway.
Set across rolling paddocks, shaded creek lines, and pockets of bushland, Kalimna is perfect for campers who value space, quiet, and a genuine country experience. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, with family, or as part of a club or group, you’ll enjoy the freedom to relax without feeling crowded or overlooked.
Wake to birdsong and fresh country air, then spend your days exactly as you please — relax at your campsite, wander the property, or simply soak up the peace and space. When you feel like exploring, Noosa beaches, Imbil, Kenilworth, Pomona, and Borumba Dam are all within easy reach. Return in the evening to a campfire under the stars, while kangaroos and abundant wildlife move quietly across the property.
Kalimna features wide, level, and manicured campgrounds, with sites suitable for tents, caravans, and motorhomes. Creekside campsites provide shade, natural sounds, and a genuine connection to the land. Firewood is available on-site, and local cafés, supplies, and dump points are conveniently close in Imbil and Pomona.
For those who enjoy stretching their legs, manicured walking tracks wind throughout the property, including an easy 1km loop and a longer 2km circuit. These trails follow creek banks, pass through open paddocks and bushland, and lead to lookout points with sweeping views of the property and surrounding mountain ranges — perfect for morning walks or sunset strolls.
🐾 Pet-friendly (pets welcome when kept contained)
🔥 Campfires permitted (conditions apply, firewood available)
🚐 Fully self-contained sites for independent travellers
👥 Ideal for group and club bookings

Welcome to beautiful Jacaranda Ridge Campsite, conveniently located between Pomona, Imbil, and Gympie. With easy access to the Bruce Highway, it's just 40 kms from Noosa.
Your private campsite includes an undercover shelter with picnic table and a fireplace with serene views over the dam, dotted with waterlilies, and out to the rolling paddocks, valley and ranges beyond. Firewood is included for the first night from 1 May - 30 September. Additional firewood is available for purchase at $15 per wheelbarrow. Please ask or message me if desired.
At Jacaranda Ridge Campsite, you’ll wake to birdsong and resident rock wallabies enjoying their breakfast, and wind down with a sundowner as the setting sun casts a golden glow across the landscape. Then, spend the evening by the campfire—it doesn’t get much better than that!
This exclusive campsite offers the best of both worlds: the peace and serenity of the countryside, with great coffee, delicious food, and charming towns all within easy reach. Discover the history of Gympie, the beauty of Noosa, and the rustic charm of Kenilworth and its surrounds, plus many stunning hikes —you’ll be spoilt for choice.
Jacaranda Ridge Campsite is suitable for self-contained caravans, camper trailers, motorhomes, and tent camping.
THINGS TO NOTE:
* This is an unpowered site.
* You must be fully self-contained, as there are no toilets or showers on-site.
* Campers must bring their own camping toilet (bush toilets are not permitted) and remove all waste upon departure.
* It is advisable to leave 2WD cars up near the gate when it is wet and damp. The approach incline to the campground can be slippery during these times.
* Dogs are welcome provided they are well behaved and on a leash or chain at all times. Please clean up after your dog and be mindful of local wildlife.
* You’ll have exclusive access to approximately 3 acres of the property. I live on the other side of the dam, and ask that guests respectfully remain on their side to ensure privacy for all.

Kalimna Country Retreat – Space, Privacy & True Country Calm
Escape the crowds and unwind in the wide-open beauty of the Mary Valley at Kalimna Country Retreat, a peaceful working cattle and sheep property offering large, private, and beautifully maintained campsites, just minutes from the Bruce Highway.
Set across rolling paddocks, shaded creek lines, and pockets of bushland, Kalimna is perfect for campers who value space, quiet, and a genuine country experience. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, with family, or as part of a club or group, you’ll enjoy the freedom to relax without feeling crowded or overlooked.
Wake to birdsong and fresh country air, then spend your days exactly as you please — relax at your campsite, wander the property, or simply soak up the peace and space. When you feel like exploring, Noosa beaches, Imbil, Kenilworth, Pomona, and Borumba Dam are all within easy reach. Return in the evening to a campfire under the stars, while kangaroos and abundant wildlife move quietly across the property.
Kalimna features wide, level, and manicured campgrounds, with sites suitable for tents, caravans, and motorhomes. Creekside campsites provide shade, natural sounds, and a genuine connection to the land. Firewood is available on-site, and local cafés, supplies, and dump points are conveniently close in Imbil and Pomona.
For those who enjoy stretching their legs, manicured walking tracks wind throughout the property, including an easy 1km loop and a longer 2km circuit. These trails follow creek banks, pass through open paddocks and bushland, and lead to lookout points with sweeping views of the property and surrounding mountain ranges — perfect for morning walks or sunset strolls.
🐾 Pet-friendly (pets welcome when kept contained)
🔥 Campfires permitted (conditions apply, firewood available)
🚐 Fully self-contained sites for independent travellers
👥 Ideal for group and club bookings
🌿 Quiet, uncrowded, and naturally beautiful

Ali & Jo have a great, open block with sites that are somewhat partitioned off from the main house and the other campsite allowing privacy during your stay. They met us at the gate & then allowed us to enjoy the serenity of the creek while we were there. Good location, close to the Sunshine Coast & perfectly set up for those that have their own amenities. Hope to come back again!

Needed a place to try out my camper and this spot fit the bill. Just a one - nighter, chilling amongst the trees and reading till sundown. The small lake is picture perfect, the surrounds are peaceful with clean and handy amenities. I was tucked right down behind the lake, well amongst the trees, in David Austin.
Be prepared for mozzies at the usual time. I had sandalwood coils burning around the camp and some bushman's repellant which worked a charm.
Andrew is a super nice bloke, made everything easy start to end. Looking forward to returning if my travels take me that way again.

Very private campspots. Nice little creek but not very deep when we visited. Great for dogs and for a little splash. Amazing dragonflies and trees. Nice fire pit, and tree swing. Good Location close to Kenilworth for a day out.

We loved our weekend getaway on the Lower flats, peaceful private site, creek was beautiful, clean facilities. Visit to the farm animals was fun. So close to Imbil or the dam, easy location. Definitely love to visit again.

The best private sites caravan sites 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.
