* 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
If you’re looking for a relaxed, no-rush stay where you can truly switch off, breathe deeply, and enjoy space, scenery, and true country calm, Kalimna offers an experience that smaller, busier campgrounds simply can’t.

4WD accessibility only. The only exception to the 4WD accessibility is the 'Dam at the Rustic Resort', as it enters through a different gate.
We are a 90acre private property who raise cattle and goats and have opened up to campers who, like us, prefer and love peace and nature.
We have all of our sites on Booking request ( Reserve). Please check that you are ok with our property rules before you book.
Booking requests after 6pm may be accepted the next morning.
If you are one of our valued regulars, thank you, we love hosting you on the property and always look forward seeing you again. If your preferred site is not available , shoot us a message , we may have an alternative for you:)
Our rules are really not rocket science, don't take things that are not yours, use the toilets instead of our bush, don't cut down trees or damage things, that includes damaging trees, don't leave anything but ash in the firepit ,make sure the fire and coals are fully extinguished, remove your rubbish and respect and consider your fellow campers and our neighbors.
Axe throwing has recently become popular within the city, if you must try it on the property , bring a board, our trees are not to be used as targets.
Stay out of our gated paddocks. This is for Biosecurity and your safety.
We are trying to create peace and tranquility that people crave so much when they get out of their busy lives. We are not the place for rowdy parties or large groups.
Most of our sites are nestled on different levels between trees and bush, so you may feel like you are the only ones there.
Campfires in the provided fire pit or drum only. Due to the unique surroundings we offer, we do require you to be extra vigilant with fire safety.
You are most welcome to use your own off the ground firepit anywhere in your site.
Please read site descriptions carefully as we have sites that are substantially different in access, privacy , level ground and distance to a toilet.
Our property is dog friendly to responsible dog owners
We have a large farm dam that never runs dry, (NO fishing)
Wamuran is less than an hour north from the city.
If you have any questions please drop us a message.

Toilets, showers, dump point and even a dog wash.
Extremely well kept and amazing birdlife. Would thoroughly recommend.

Great site. Been wanting to stay here for a while and it didn’t disappoint. Refreshing to have the grass mowed. Most places we’ve been lately the grass is always long. Site 1 was great and gave great shade from 3pm if close to the trees. Site 3 and 4 get lots of sun in the afternoon but probably still better sites (well 3 is anyway).

Absolute beautiful place. Lovely hosts and very welcoming, including their beautiful dog. The dam was the best freshwater place i’ve ever swam. The cows are the most precious and lovely animals. It is well maintained and easy access to everything. Such an amazing place to be. We will definitely be coming back again with our doggies. This place is definitely a favourite of ours now. Very peaceful place and each campsite had heaps of privacy. We will definitely be back again, thank you for the best time. Couldn’t of had a better anniversary❤️

Beautiful campsite with a small lake and lovely flowers. Andrew is very nice and helpful with all the information provided. The toilets and shower were very clean. The location is convenient and while being just off a quiet road, at the campsite you feel in the middle of nowhere it is so quiet and peaceful with lovely bird sounds.

We absolutely loved this beautiful hidden gem in Caboolture. The host was super friendly and welcoming, and the area was very well maintained, perfect for pitching our tent. The amenities were clean, fresh, and well looked after. We would 100% recommend staying here and would happily return!

Loved camping here. 5 Large grassy sites, with huge trees to sit under at 4 of them. Plenty of space between sites so you definitely don't feel crowded. Dogs are welcomed too. You do need to be fully self-contained including a toilet.
Only a short 150m walk to the river and 600m Kenilworth township.
This is a great place to base yourself while exploring the Mary Valley region

Highly recommend The Kellys at Doonan, we thoroughly enjoyed our 7 night stay. Large grassy sites, beautifully maintained with privacy, all secured behind a locked gate. It's the perfect location, close to Noosa, Coolum and Eumundi Markets.
Steve is a wonderful host, we are looking forward to catching up again on our next stay at The Kellys...
