The best private sites caravan camping near Noosa

·

Noosa is a catch-all name for a collection of neighbouring holiday resort towns—Noosa Heads, Noosaville and Noosa Junction. Noosa Heads is the glamour girl of the three, fronting Main Beach and home to Hastings Street, a strip of smart boutiques, cafes and restaurants. Noosa Junction is more functional, with supermarkets, takeaway joints, banks, a movie theatre (for rainy days) and other shops to provide necessities. Noosaville lies along the Noosa River, with a yacht club, soaring pelicans and plenty of restaurants. Noosa National Park sits at one end of Hastings Street via a lovely coastal boardwalk. 

One of the most under-rated places in this region is the Noosa Everglades. Take a kayak or a boat tour to explore this wilderness area in the upper reaches of the Noosa River. This clear 60km stretch of water is renowned for its reflections, blooming water lilies and birdlife. It’s a photographer’s dream. 

Catch the Noosa Ferry up the river to the village of Tewantin, for more shopping and gallery-hopping. This is also the entry point for Tewantin National Park, which is criss-crossed with mountain bike trails, and the Mt Tinbeerwah lookout. 

Walk the coastal track through the Noosa National Park, starting on the boardwalk from Noosa Main Beach. Before heading off check out the treetops as koalas are frequently spotted here. Along the way, stop for a swim at any of the sandy beaches around the coast, or sit and watch the waves and the surfers in action. The coastal walking tracks in the national park take you to places like Boiling Pot, Dolphin Point, Tea Tree Bay and Winch Cove. The inland Tanglewood is a great place for wildflowers in spring. 

An hour’s drive away in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, mountain villages such as Maleny, Montville and Mapleton give stunning views of the coastline and inland to the dramatic volcanic plugs of the Glass House Mountains. Walking trails abound. 

December and January are the busiest months, but book as early as you can for any holiday periods as this is a popular spot for Australian families. The Sunshine Coast has a moderate climate but can be hot in summer despite the coastal breezes. The annual Noosa Festival of Surfing, the largest longboard gathering in the world, is held over a week in mid-May in Laguna Bay, off Main Beach, Noosa Heads. 

  • Camping is not allowed in Noosa National Park, but other commercial camping areas sit nearby. The best national park camping is in the Cooloola Recreation Area of Great Sandy National Park or in the upper reaches of the Noosa River. 
  • Wheelchair-accessible facilities are available in Cooloola Recreation Area, at Freshwater camping and day-use areas, Bymien picnic area, Fig Tree Point, and Harrys camping and day-use areas.
  • Stay alert when on the beach in Great Sandy National Park, as parts are open to vehicle traffic. It can be difficult to hear over the sounds of wind and surf. 
  • Remember to pack sunscreen and a hat; the Queensland sun can be fierce. 
  • Camping permits for all Queensland parks, forest, and reserves must be booked online and paid for in advance. Make camping bookings as early as possible, especially for around Christmas.

Noosa is a catch-all name for a collection of neighbouring holiday resort towns—Noosa Heads, Noosaville and Noosa Junction. Noosa Heads is the glamour girl of the three, fronting Main Beach and home to Hastings Street, a strip of smart boutiques, cafes and restaurants.

Our sites are completely isolated from town, with views and not visible from the road. Sites are set among nearly 100 acres of a mix of open land and rainforest. Multiple natural springs exist on the property and a few small spring-fed waterholes are scattered down the cascading hills. Friendly ducks, geese, fish, horses and an abundance of native wildlife live here. This location is home to several endangered species due to being one of the last isolated pockets of rainforest in the area. Sites are part of The Bush Clinic where we specialise in designing and making natural creams, soaps, teas, dodorants and other products as well as running regular Meditation courses and topics such as Energy, Frequency, Grounding and Advanced Organic Growth techniques for those wanting to join in are formally available during your stay. We are new to HipCamp so have limited facilities at present, but they are in progress and we have loads of space per site, comfortable, and lots to offer for those wanting to reconnect with Nature. If you know what ley-lines are - this is the right place to visit ;-) PS if you are towing a van or camper pls remember to engage 4wd at the front gravel gate (low range 2nd is best). This helps avoid chewing the road up...

Dreaming of arriving at Kerry Valley Secret...............

20. Kerry Valley Secret, Scenic Rim

100%

74km from Noosa · 3 sites · Tents, RVs · Kerry, QLD
Kerry Valley Secret - Stockyard Creek, Kingfisher and Platypus Campsites in the Scenic Rim are exclusive bush campsites - once you have booked no-one else will be able to camp at that site - and they are perfect for groups! The Stockyard Creek Campsite is situated on the babbling Stockyard Creek and there is a short walk to the bigger Albert River waterhole. This pretty spot features Silky Oaks and Ironwood trees, views to Luke's Bluff and Ding Bing falls in Lamington National Park, has plenty of shade for tents and a huge space for caravans and camper trailers to turn around in Family groups love the site for the babbling but shallow child friendly Stockyard Creek - perfect for paddling and playing in. The Kingfisher and Platypus Campsites have larger waterholes than the Stockyard Creek Campsite and you are able to wander the 2km of river frontage while fishing. They have easy access off the main Kerry Road. Friends love our campsites for catch ups, the bird watching, small historical or nature walks around the property and of course the cool waterholes in the Albert River. Other groups use Kerry Valley Secret as a base camp for hiking adventures in the wilderness end of Lamington National Park. Bring your togs and floaties to cool down in the waterhole on the Albert River. Don't forget the marshmallows to roast on the fire at night (firewood provided). Binoculars and boots are a must for bird watching and exploring our walking tracks through the forest. All campsites have basic toilet facilities (a portaloo) and firepit (with a free bag of kindling provided). Stockyard Creek Campsite also includes a picnic table. Exclusivity is a feature of all our campsite and for that reason we only take a flat rate booking. Once you have booked no one else will be able to camp at the site, it is all yours.
