The best dog-friendly caravan sites in Sunshine Coast

Australia’s most appealingly named strip of waterfront, the Sunshine Coast is a laidback spot with golden beaches, surf breaks, and lush hinterland. With options ranging from holiday parks set right on the beach and rainforest campgrounds to glamping tents on the edge of pristine wetlands, you’ll have no problem finding a place to sleep under the stars. The Sunshine Coast is popular year-round, but you can avoid the biggest crowds—and highest temperatures and heaviest rainfall—by visiting outside of summer (December through February).

Imbil, QLD · 8 sites · Tents, RVs

Please notify us if you are camping with other campers who have booked a separate site so we can have you camping beside each other During busy times, most weekend bookings are a minimum of 2 nights with 1 night bookings during the week, however occasionally we will have 1 night bookings on weekends. Check with your host to see availability on 1 night bookings. All campsites run parallel too the creek and are situated on the upper bank of Yabba Creek. Some have creek views, the other sites have trees between the creek and their site. All have mountain views. The main access to the creek is half way along the campground between site 8 and 9. Please do not leave your car parked in the walkway as this will block the entrance to campsite 9. Unfortunately, we lost many of our creek access points due to flooding. Our property is situated between Imbil and Lake Borumba on the beautiful Yabba Creek. We have 110 acres, with campsites on 20 acres. We have 1km of creek frontage. The creek offers fishing, swimming and kayaking. Please note the there is a fishing ban from 01st August until 31st October in all local creeks due to the Mary River Cod breeding season. You can still fish in nearby Lake Borumba. If you're lucky you'll spot the platypus in the creek and there's lots of birdlife around so bring your cameras! Kayaks are supplied free for all campers to use. We just ask that you treat them with respect and return them back to their launching place once you have finished with them. It would pay to pack your reef walkers as the river is rocky in spots. There is lots of space for motorhomes and large camping vehicles to maneuver and park. Plenty of flat spots for your tent or vehicle. This campsite has access to flushing toilets (toilets are situated approx. 400m from the camp sites) and water (rainwater), but you will need to bring your own camping shower. Campfires are permitted outside of fire-ban season (please use the existing firepits). The property features a gorgeous rainforest with a walking track that you can follow safely, and you can also access the state forest next door if you're up for a bigger adventure. Lake Borumba is just down the road which permits water skiing, boating, fishing and other water recreation. The town ship of Imbil is only 7 minutes away where you can visit the many cafes, bakeries, The Imbil pub, Sunday markets, Produce and hardware store, supermarket, butcher, clothing shops, hairdresser, fishing supplies, Petrol station, post office and more. We are a working cattle and horse property but we do allow pets, however pet owners will need to abide by the rules as set out under the Rules and Safety "Pets" section.

Looking to escape? Welcome to Kenilworth Camping—our little piece of paradise. Flanked by more than 5 km of direct Mary River frontage, we are excited to share our third-generation family farm with you. Sorry- we don’t accept P-Platers, unless part of a family group. Unwind, relax, and leave your worries at the gate as you explore the spacious campground along the farm boundary. Let the water wash over you, light a campfire, bring your dogs along, and make lasting memories with your family. As your hosts, we are proud to share “Adadale,” our family farm of more than 65 years, with you. We hope you enjoy your stay. While camping by the river, you can spend your days swimming, fishing, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the water or beneath the trees. Keep an eye out early in the morning for one of the property’s most special residents—the elusive platypus. The Mary River is also home to the protected Mary River lungfish, a remarkable species that has existed for millions of years and can be found in the deep rock pools. The campsites are kept as natural as possible, offering a genuine paddock camping experience rather than manicured lawns. Guests have access to flushing toilets, hot showers for a small gold coin donation, and potable drinking water. These amenities are located a short walk from the camping area due to the risk of flooding. Firewood and ice are available for purchase on-site. You may bring your own raised fire pit or use an existing fire pit where available. Whether you are looking for a relaxing riverside getaway, a peaceful fishing spot, or a quiet place to reconnect with nature, you will find plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the tranquillity. Please note that this is a working farm, so you may see cattle moving through the property during your stay. The campground is located in a flood-risk area, and campers will be directed to suitable camping areas away from the riverbank depending on current conditions.

Perfect spot to settle down for a couple of days as we unwound from our trip to the Cape. We were able to visit my brother in Coolum from this location. We also visited the macadamina nut farm. Beautiful Grassy spots, well maintained and Scott was very welcoming. Our doggo even loved the downtime. Perfect view with surrounding cane farms and The Maroochydore River flowing by. We will differently be back.

Absolutely loved our stay here! We only stayed for one night but honestly wish we’d booked longer. Scott was so welcoming, the sites are massive and being right on the river was just perfect. We had a fire, did some fishing and just really enjoyed the whole place. Scott also sells firewood and bait which was super handy. Great location close to Mount Coolum, beaches and restaurants too. Such a great little find — we’ll definitely be back, but for much longer next time!

Riverside Farm is a great Hipcamp, good sized, grassy sites, quiet, mountain views one side, the river the other and 15-20 minutes drive to the beach at Coolum. Scott, the host is a lovely guy. Definitely one we’ll go back to.

I really loved the Riverview farm, so peaceful and only 17mins from the beach. The river on one side and the sugarcane and hills on then other. Scott is the perfect host, offering firewood and bait for fishing. Also most camping zones had their own crab pot supplied by Scott. I'll definitely be back! 🙂

Absolutely fantastic area to have a quiet night under stars and fish away the days problems. Scott was absolutely fantastic with setting us up and making sure we were comfortable for our stay. Fireplaces are available with firewood to purchase on site. If you're feeling lucky, grab some bait of Scott and try and catch a Jack amongst the mangroves. A free pile of firewood is all yours with the catch and a good photo op besides. My wife and I will definitely be back here to throw a line in the river, with the peace and quiet all around.

Sunshine Coast camping guide

Where to go

Caloundra

About an hour's drive north of Brisbane, Caloundra is home to some of Queensland’s best beaches. Kings Beach is a favourite for its oceanfront saltwater pool and walking tracks that lead around the Caloundra headland. In the heart of Caloundra, on the Pumicestone Passage, are a range of accommodation options from camping and caravan sites to oceanfront cabins and glamping tents, many with access to a swimming pool, laundry, and free wifi.

Maroochydore

Half an hour up the coast, Maroochydore is considered the heart of the Sunshine Coast. You can easily spend all your time in the main town, catching waves and enjoying the bars and restaurants that line its lively esplanade, but it’s also a prime spot for embarking on diving and snorkeling trips.

Coolum

Coolum is a perennially popular getaway for its beaches, golf courses, and carefree atmosphere. Explore the rocky headlands of Point Perry and Point Arkwright, and even tackle the climb to the peak of Mount Coolum—the view from the top is well worth the effort. Back down at sea level, oceanfront campgrounds offer van and camping spots with direct access to the beach.

Noosa

Surrounded by national parks, beaches, and hinterland, Noosa's natural beauty makes it the jewel in the Sunshine Coast’s crown. Adventure abounds: You can soak up the turquoise waters of Noosa Main Beach, spot wildlife in Noosa National Park, paddle through the wetlands of the Noosa Everglades, and head from Noosa North Shore to Rainbow Beach and into Great Sandy National Park, home to the famed Fraser Island.

Hinterland

Head into the Sunshine Coast’s Hinterland and discover the rainforest of Kondalilla National Park, the ancient volcanic peaks of the Glass House Mountains, and the bohemian atmosphere of the Eumundi Markets. You can wake up to mountain views and the sounds of a burbling creek at a number of area camping grounds.
