Noosa on the Sunshine Coast needs no introduction, with its world-famous sun, surf and sand.

When you’re not busy exploring what’s on offer within the park itself, you’ve got a large Noosa backyard to explore from the beach to the hinterland and national parks in between.
With an action-packed kid’s program each school holidays, it’s no wonder this park is known to book out.
Throughout the year, you’ll always find something happening at Ingenia Holidays Noosa with facilities that will eliminate the words “I’m bored” from the kids’ vernacular altogether with a pool, jumping cushion and games room to name just a few things on offer.

We have a whole beautiful valley with crystal clear spring-fed creeks, patches of rain forest and hillsides covered in grass-trees backing onto Wrattens State Forest.

This is a dog and horse friendly property but no pets allowed in the cabin. There is paralysis tick in this region - so we'd recommend treating any animal before you come and frequent checks while you're here.
No mobile phone coverage at the cabin, but there is a hill you can drive (or walk) up on the property to get phone signal if needed and we have a landline phone in our house which can be used in emergencies.

The property offers 80 powered sites and 100 unpowered sites, at various locations around the property, some closer to the creek-line than others. All sites are ideal for pulling up stumps for a few days or more, enjoying the stunning, peaceful property and exploring the wider area.
All campers have access the the amenities blocks (hot showers and flushing toilets!), located a couple of hundred metres from camp, depending where you set up, as well as a dump point for those who are self-contained.
At this time, whilst campfires are permitted, you must bring your own firepit/brazier or similar and it must be elevated from the ground. Firewood BYO.
Pets are welcome but must be kept on a lead - we have many horses around!
Sites will be allocated on arrival in discussion with you, based on your set up.

Weekend Trip to Bellbird Lodge
Paul’s place is a gorgeous escape from the business of life, surrounded by trees and birdsong this little gem makes for a relaxing trip away for those who enjoy the tranquility of being outside. The caravan pad is totally set up with hot showers working oven and stove top, water and a comfy bed to sleep.
The swimming hole is fresh and has many small fish and even a turtle.
Paul is a friendly and attentive host and has thoughtfully created his own version of paradise. Thanks for the rest.

We loved the cabin, it was so comfortable and had every amenity. It is located in a beautiful secluded area with green grass, trees and a pergola. We enjoyed having a campfire anytime of the day and night. This is a beautiful little piece of paradise to relax, unwind and get back to nature.

My kids and I had an absolute blast at the ranch. They really enjoyed the little pony with the light-colored hair that always came over for a pat.
There are just a few suggestions I have for improvement.
1. It was quite dark at night because some lights either weren't functioning or had missing bulbs.
2. The WiFi connection kept dropping intermittently.
3. There was absolutely no phone reception; Telstra is needed, as Optus and Vodafone didn't work at all.
4. Be ready to deal with a lot of flies (I recommend bringing fly spray).
Aside from that, it was an amazing place to stay.
Thank you!

Our family loved our experience at the pear tree farm! The cabin was well equipped with everything you'd need right down to kitchenwear, laundry, bedding , insect repellent - we actually overpacked 😅. AC after a long day of outings was also a major plus!! Angela is a great host and was wonderfully accommodating for my children with ASD and our family loved feeding the horses.
I would 100% recommend, pear tree farm.

A peaceful and clean glamping spot surrounded by nature.
The facilities are well‑equipped, and everything is kept in great condition.
Nick, the caretaker, is incredibly friendly and clearly puts a lot of effort into maintaining the place.
Just remember to bring mosquito protection.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the family bush cabin at Hope Valley. Anita is a very kind and hospitable host and the property is great to explore and to see animals including both domesticated and wild. The kids particularly enjoyed the animals and playing in and adventuring up and down the creek.
The family cabin is well appointed and has everything we needed to make the stay a great one. You definitely need a 4WD to get up the driveway to the cabin itself.
The outdoor hot tub (optional extra) is also great if of interest.
Hope Valley is a great location to get away from it all and to relax - we hope to return again in the future. Very highly recommended.

We love staying at Paul's hipcamp. Directions were clear, Paul was friendly and accommodating, the sites were private and the facilities clean. The caravan was gorgeous, overlooking the creek, with lots of bird life. Hot outdoor shower was an unexpected bonus! We would definitely come back and stay.
Thanks for having us!

The best family-friendly glamping sites near Mooloolaba guide
Where to go
Moreton Bay
Just south of Mooloolaba, white-sand beaches stretch along the shores of Moreton Bay, but the real highlight is cruising around the bay’s many islands. Pitch your tent by the beach on Bribie Island, spot wild dolphins as you swim and snorkel around Moreton Island, or combine lazy beach days with wildlife watching on North Stradbroke Island.
Sunshine Coast
Mooloolaba is ideally situated for exploring the rest of the Sunshine Coast. Head south to the beaches of Caloundra, a hot spot for water sports, and spot koalas and kangaroos at Australia Zoo. To the north, the surf town of Noosa Heads has some of the region’s best coastal walks, as well as thrilling 4WD beach drives through the Great Sandy National Park.
Sunshine Coast Hinterland
A short drive inland, the rolling hills and farmlands of the Sunshine Coast Hinterlands offer a change of scenery for campers. Hikers can explore the unique landscapes of the Glass House Mountains, climb to the summit of Mount Tibrogargan, or enjoy woodland walks in the Beerburrum State Forest. For foodies, many artisan producers have opened their doors to visitors, so add a visit to a macadamia farm, ginger factory, or honey farm to your itinerary.
When to go
As the name suggests, sunny days are plentiful along the Sunshine Coast, so pack for warm weather even in winter (June through August). Summer (December through January) is peak season, when the town hosts several open-air events and festivals, but plan ahead if visiting at this time—coastal campsites can book up months in advance.
Know before you go
- The Sunshine Coast has an excellent public transport service, but having your own transport is useful for exploring the hinterlands and national parks.
- Mooloolaba has a large selection of shops where you can pick up camping gear and stock up on supplies before heading out into the hinterlands.
- Fire bans are common in Queensland during summer and dry periods, so check local recommendations before lighting your campfire and always use designated fire pits.
