Harper Creek Road and Harper Creek Criss cross one another as you drive through the valley. The ridges either side of the road are largely timbered, whereas the valley floor is productive land. The large property is located towards the end of this no-through-road, almost at the end of the line. While the property has dual access from both Engle Rd at the top camp; Harper Creek Rd, we enter from the valley.
Camping on the top block is also available for 4WD vehicles only and not suited to large caravans.
Campers are required to be self-contained with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. Campfires are welcome in the fire pits with firewood provided or BYO.
The mid-1900’s cottage sits in an idyllic setting, framed by the trees. The cottage is not yet available for Farm stays but will be soon. The location, vegetation and topography provide the privacy, the fauna & birdlife (the Bellbirds) combine to provide the solitude. Harper Creek cuts through the front corner of the property where it is met by a minor creek that drains the high country.
You want more … how about a total of 115 acres (46.42 ha). While it is predominantly well-treed, it does have some cleared camping opportunities. It is watered by the creeks and one dam. There’s a great camping site at the top of the block, with a fantastic view!
The property is off Aherns Rd, close to the village of Conondale and mid-way between Maleny & Kenilworth. With good access to the freeway via either Maleny or Kenilworth.… a perfect bush camping spot in a perfect setting!

Property is close to lots of walking tracks and mountains to hike in the area and we are only 5ish mins drive from the town centres of Glass House Mountains and Beerwah. We are surrounded by pineapple farms and honest boxes of limes, pineapples and avocados are spotted along the nearby streets.
Our little hobby farm is perfect for a city break! Wake up to the sound of chirping birds and wallabies passing through. There is an old macadamia orchid and we are currently in the process of building a new chicken coop, so will hopefully have hens and eggs soon! Numerous damns and creeks run through the property but they have not been cleared of weeds for swimming.
Clyde is our resident horse who will likely come visit you at your campsite. He is the sweetest boy and loves nothing more than a carrot and a gentle pat. He is an old boy now so not suited for riding but is a wonderful companion!
There are no facilities here so all campers will need to be self sufficient with a camping toilet. It is preferred that campers bring their own water but bore water can be supplied if you run out (not the ideal for drinking).
I live in the main house so am available for any emergencies but will give you your privacy! Dogs are welcome as long as they do not chase off the wildlife and are calm around the horse. I have a dog at the house so must also be dog friendly or else kept on lead!

Harper Creek Road and Harper Creek Criss cross one another as you drive through the valley. The ridges either side of the road are largely timbered, whereas the valley floor is productive land. The large property is located towards the end of this no-through-road, almost at the end of the line. While the property has dual access from both Engle Rd at the top camp; Harper Creek Rd, we enter from the valley.
Camping on the top block is also available for 4WD vehicles only and not suited to large caravans.
Campers are required to be self-contained with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. Campfires are welcome in the fire pits with firewood provided or BYO.
The mid-1900’s cottage sits in an idyllic setting, framed by the trees. The cottage is not yet available for Farm stays but will be soon. The location, vegetation and topography provide the privacy, the fauna & birdlife (the Bellbirds) combine to provide the solitude. Harper Creek cuts through the front corner of the property where it is met by a minor creek that drains the high country.
You want more … how about a total of 115 acres (46.42 ha). While it is predominantly well-treed, it does have some cleared camping opportunities. It is watered by the creeks and one dam. There’s a great camping site at the top of the block, with a fantastic view!
The property is off Aherns Rd, close to the village of Conondale and mid-way between Maleny & Kenilworth. With good access to the freeway via either Maleny or Kenilworth.… a perfect bush camping spot in a perfect setting!

We are surrounded by pineapple farms and honest boxes of limes, pineapples and avocados are spotted along the nearby streets.
Our little hobby farm is perfect for a city break! Wake up to the sound of chirping birds and wallabies passing through. There is an old macadamia orchid and we are currently in the process of building a new chicken coop, so will hopefully have hens and eggs soon! Numerous damns and creeks run through the property but they have not been cleared of weeds for swimming.
Clyde is our resident horse who will likely come visit you at your campsite. He is the sweetest boy and loves nothing more than a carrot and a gentle pat. He is an old boy now so not suited for riding but is a wonderful companion!
There are no facilities here so all campers will need to be self sufficient with a camping toilet. It is preferred that campers bring their own water but bore water can be supplied if you run out (not the ideal for drinking).
I live in the main house so am available for any emergencies but will give you your privacy! Dogs are welcome as long as they do not chase off the wildlife and are calm around the horse. I have a dog at the house so must also be dog friendly or else kept on lead!

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!

Neil and Joss's farm is so beautiful. You will have the most private, relaxing stay. The grass is so well maintained. Our 10 month old and two puppies loved it. Thank you.

Just wow. Neil’s property is so well maintained from the moment you drive in. Beautifully cared for and manicured. It was a breeze finding and the sites are immaculate. Just 1hr 12min from
Brisbane - genuinely can’t wait to get back to this hidden gem.

We had a lovely time here. Jen and Rick were wonderful to deal with and very responsive to msgs,
A beautiful quiet spot. We will definitely visit again.
We also visited Crystal Waters bakery which is just around the corner (in the middle of nowhere) for some fantastic Pizza on Friday night.

We camped in the large open space near the creek. Perfect for larger groups. Grounds are well maintained and the creek was perfect for cooling off on the hot days.

We loved the privacy of this campground. Beautiful paddock with trees surrounding and a running creek. We spent our time relaxing, watching the resident wildlife, including an azure kingfisher. . The campsite was shady, clean and big enough for a small group, if wished. 15 minutes up to Maleny.

This is truly one of those "WOW" places; it’s magic, peaceful, and perfect in every way. Chris and her husband were incredibly welcoming and lovely hosts. The creek is just a few steps away and perfect for a refreshing dip, and having the horses nearby added such a beautiful touch to the scenery. I highly recommend Conondale Valley Farm to anyone looking for a magical getaway. We will definitely be back!

Great campsite with a really nice view. Neil was a friendly and welcoming host. We also enjoyed the walking track around the lake near the campsite. Would happily stay again.

I cannot recommend this place enough for dogs, and a few friends. Very beautiful spot, plenty just down the road to do, plenty of bush to explore. Can just let your dogs free and roam, Jacqui is just amazing and will help out with anything. Fire pit, plenty of wood, fire starters hammocks, table already set, she has really thought of everything. Must go and will be back.
