Escape to The River Shed — a peaceful, rustic camping spot set on 14 acres along the Maroochy River, halfway between Coolum Beach and Yandina on the Sunshine Coast. This is where you can slow down, soak in tranquil river views, and truly unwind. Whether you arrive in a caravan, campervan, RV, or tent, you’ll find one of five spacious campsites arranged around a quiet dam. These flat, grassy sites make it easy to set up, park, and relax. At The River Shed, you’ll reconnect with nature. You’ll have walking access to the Maroochy River — perfect for a quiet paddle or a lazy afternoon by the water — and you’re welcome to bring pets, as long as they stay on leash. Campfires are also permitted whenever fire-ban rules allow, letting you enjoy evenings under the stars. This spot is ideal for travelers' looking to unplug. There are no conventional campground amenities — no toilets, showers, or potable water — so guests must be fully self-contained. Think of it as “back-to-basics,” but with beauty, quiet, and space on your side. We have 8 caravan sites in total (4 are powered sites). If you’re after a simple, nature-first camping experience along the Sunshine Coast — peaceful river views, open paddocks, and nights by the fire — The River Shed is just the kind of place that makes you slow down, breathe easy, and truly relax.

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.
