Noosa on the Sunshine Coast needs no introduction, with its world-famous sun, surf and sand. If you’re wanting to explore this slice of pandanus palm-fringed paradise, check-in to Ingenia Holidays Noosa, a short drive from bustling Hastings Street and just next door to the Tewantin National Park mountain-bike trails.
You’ll want at least a few days to discover Noosa’s coastal charm, thriving food scene and diverse landscapes, so check-in to one of the cabins, villas, camp or caravan sites that deliver big holiday experiences for those with a smaller Noosa budget.
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.
With temperate weather all year round, soak up the outdoors and onsite facilities including BBQs and camp kitchens when you’re not exploring the Sunshine Coast’s favourite resort playground.

Beautifully maintained and private campsite site for fully self sufficient campers. Huge area which was more like a well maintained park with lovely convenient creek access. Kev was a great host who popped down to check if we needed anything and supplied a very generous tub of firewood, which lasted our 2 night stay. Absolutely recommend this camp for people who enjoy privacy and lots of space, all within 20 mins from the town centre of Gympie.

Noosa river camping is a great place to stay. A quick drive from Brisbane has you by the Noosa river. The drive in through the bush in is a great start to relaxation, the site itself is very peaceful. Take your rods and crab pots. Highly recommend all mozzie precautions as is a paperbark wetland area, beautiful and serene. Lots of bird life for the twitchers.

It was a beautiful, remote, relaxing spot. beautiful breeze and captivating star gazing. I would bring insects replant especially if near the water, there was all sorts of bites and itching when we first arrived. Showers are nice. very quiet when we went. only 3 other people were there. Would recommend for a family or a relaxing getaway but country side vibe.

The camping experience with the animals was absolute delight, especially the animal's interaction was delightful for our grandchildren. However, one minor feedback we found it inconvenient that rubbish bins were not readily available near the recycling bins at our camp site. But we will definitely return to this heavenly little haven.

Absolutely beautiful spot, so relaxing.
Even more incredible owners - due to fairly heavy rain they messaged us straight away and offered a different spot away from the rising creek - amazing hosts!!

My second time camping with friends to attend a musical performance at the adjacent hotel. Grassy level sites with ample shade if required. Self contained camping recommended but basic amenities available.

We camped in the orchard for the night to see Ben Lee hosted by the brewery.
Grassy spot with trees and basic amenities if needed. Easy access and various options to park.
The brewery has a great variety of beers, cocktails and mocktails.
We had lunch as we messaged about early check in on Friday. Then dinner and show for $80.
We had intended to stay an extra night and go to Rainbow Beach for the day but the rain sent us home early.
We will definitely be back, cheap camping and $7 schooners.
Thanks Richie and his team for a great night.
