call greg on 0427989894 when you arrive, thank you :-) No toilets onsite !! we are NOT on a NOISY main road !! nice quiet dead end street :-) 3 paddock sites !! 3 river side sites !! If your dog is not friendly with other humans and dogs unfortunately its not welcome Only 9 minutes from the bruce highway, situated down a quiet dirt road on the side of the beautiful Maroochy River you will find river rd ranch. River rd ranch is at heart of the sunshine coast being only a 10 minute drive to Coolum beach and Yandina, 25 to 30 minutes to noosa, mooloolaba, Maroochydore beaches, Sunshine Plaza, bars and restaurants! Being only 20 minutes to the sunshine coast airport it’s a great opportunity to park up your big or small touring rig to head interstate at short notice if required. This amazing property has views of mt Coolum and mt Nindery with some of the best sunrise and sunsets around. With easy access to the property we can also cater for larger caravans and big groups of people. Being on the river there is option for fishing and crabbing, we are only a few hundred meter walk to the Yandina Creek Wetlands walking trails. Camp Fires are allowed on site. (unless fire bans are in place ) fire wood available 20kg = $20 (cash only sorry due to a few nonpayers) Pets are welcome but we must respect our Neighbours with horses and other campers so must be friendly retrained at all times. Please remember pick up after your fury friends as we have other guests here we have 3 - 4 sites right on the river and another 3 - 4 sites in our paddock with a section allowing our paddock guests to have access to the river to do all activities All waste to be taken away when you leave.

A lovely spot along the Maroochy River. Nicely mown grounds with a tranquil outlook over the river. Grant (& family) were lovely to deal with. If you are looking for a quiet peaceful place this is it (the odd aircraft taking off from SC Airport made a bit of noise but not very often). Heaps of space for bigger groups or for a game of footy/cricket. We will be back again for sure!

6 nights at Hidden Camp Farm Stay

Hidden Camp was our first ever hipcamp and it was amazing. Quiet, lots of friendly ducks, donkeys, horses, chickens. Callam and Leah were super friendly and kept asking if we needed anything. Being close to the Bruce Hwy it was well positioned with lots of trees for shade, a few dams and a creek. We will also be back for sure

Absolutely wonderful spot. Loved it so much that we immediately booked it for New Years… in our excitement forgetting that we’d already promised to dog sit for friends. So it’s available! We will definitely be staying here again.

The campsite was gorgeous! The sites are really spread out so felt really private and we loved being next to the creek. Perfect location just an hour from the sunny coast and the drive in is beautiful. We would definitely recommend!

The Orchard - Fully fenced camp sites. Plenty of space. Perfect for groups.

What a wonderful spot right beside the river to fish or catch crabs. Very clean and tidy. Lots of open space to throw the ball to the dogs or just to sit back and watch the tides. Great hosts too.
