Due to new council regulations, we can no longer camp directly near the creek edges as we did before. Our campsites have now been relocated to higher ground, offering beautiful views of the creek. The creek entrances are accessible within 50 to 300 meters, depending on the path you choose. Unplug and unwind at our 22 acre camping paradise nestled amongst the rolling green hills of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Listen to the babbling water sounds of Scrubby Creek and the Mary River that meandering through the perimeter of the property for over 1 kilometer. Stroll through our mini rainforest, paddle in the creek or have a dip in one of the many rock pools. We will even let you build as many rock towers as you like! Throw an inner tube in the creek and float around while the kids laugh and play all day long. Let the kids dig holes or fossick for the perfect skimming rocks, ride bikes or play endless games on the beautiful landscaped grass. Plenty of trees to put up that hammock or soak in the creek with views overlooking the wilderness. Sit back and gaze at the starlit skies while the kids roast yet another marshmallow on the campfire. Snuggle up during winter and cool down around the rainforest in summer. Abundant wildlife, lots of kangaroos and wallabies, koalas and beautiful birds everywhere. Please be aware that weekends are family times and do get busy with extra people. During the week it is very quiet and you could have the whole place to yourself. Sites are allocated on weekends based on numbers, if you are in caravans or tents and if you are camping with children. We have 12 large grassy sites nestled amongst trees located at the higher part of our property. Each site is large and can allow group bookings. Loads of space for tents, camper trailers, caravans or motorhomes. The camping sites are close together however there is loads of areas to set up along the creek during the day. Pets permitted but must be restrained.

A Place to Call Home is the perfect name for this beautiful camping spot. We had an amazing time relaxing, exploring, and enjoying everything the area had to offer. The wildlife was incredible to see, and it was such a special experience being surrounded by nature. Our dogs absolutely loved it too — they had the best time exploring the walks and splashing through the river. It’s a peaceful, welcoming place where both people and pets can truly unwind.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a little slice of paradise. This was my first stay at A Place to Call Home, and it definitely won’t be my last. The property is peaceful, beautifully maintained and surrounded by nature. It was exactly what I was looking for, somewhere to slow down, relax and let the kids explore. We spent our days enjoying the fresh air, listening to the birds and simply unwinding. It has such a calm, welcoming feel. The hosts have created something really special. They’re friendly and thoughtful, and it’s obvious they genuinely care about giving guests a great experience. As someone who loves camping, I also appreciated how easy everything was to access, with plenty of space to set up and enjoy the surroundings. We left feeling refreshed and we have already booked our next stay in a few weeks. If you’re looking for a quiet escape to reconnect with nature, I couldn’t recommend A Place to Call Home more highly.

Hosts were amazing, such a picturesque spot where you can fall asleep listening to the flowing stream. Grounds and facilities are beautifully maintained and my kids loved the soccer net and playground. So much to see and explore, wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely be coming back for some more unwind time in nature. Thank you 🙏

We had an incredible time here. The campground is absolutely beautiful, filled with lush greenery and the soothing, constant sound of a running creek nearby. It’s the perfect place to disconnect and unwind. We are already planning our next trip back, and I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful nature retreat!

Amazing spot with lovely big sites, plenty of greenery and a creek to drop your feet into. Hosts were incredibly friendly and were great to have a chat to as they tour you around the site options. They were even kind enough to drop by in the arvo to see if we needed firewood (decent price, bring cash). We'll certainly be back with friends, family and tribe.

The whole site is absolutely gorgeous, beautifully lush and well maintained. Flushing loos and running water was also really amazing. Thea was super lovely as well - there was even dampa on offer one of the nights! In saying that, this place was not quite right for my friend and I as we’d just come from the noisy city for a weekend of peace and quiet. The smaller campsites were pretty close together and didn’t offer heaps of privacy. Lawn-mowing happened on the Saturday morning and on Friday there was some chainsaw noises (cutting a branch/tree for safety) which is all fine except for the fact that we chose this place as it looked quite peaceful and private and said maintenance happens during the week. The sites that we would have felt a little more ‘at home’ in were located at the other side of the property and were reserved for big groups (although there was only 1 big group in by the looks). I get wanting to keep some sites away from the smaller groups for noise reasons, but I feel like it was just traded for a set of suburban noises from kids, barking dogs and yard maintenance instead. As I mentioned, not quite right for my friend and I for this time, but I’d come back if in a bigger group and/or wanted to camp with dogs/children. Lots of places for exploring, the creek is so beautiful.

We had an amazing long weekend. Thea and Gary went above and beyond to make us all feel welcome. A beautiful location with a creek meandering through the property. Thea and Gary made us damper after taking the little ones on a train ride around the grounds which the kids loved. A short run to Maleny or Kenilworth to break up the weekend and resupply, is also really handy. This will be a spot we'll visit many times through the year.

Thea and Garry were great hosts, they personally greeted everyone in our camp and offered help if we needed. Thea and Garry put on a free damper night for the whoever wanted to join. The camp site itself was spacious and facilities clean. The river stream that runs along was perfect to listen to as we fell asleep.

The large open space and the creek running through the property is amazing, campsite are large and generous sized bags of fire can be purcahsed. But what stood out the most is the hospitality its not that often you have both owners come down and great campers at separate times and shake your hand. They generally care about you.

The camping area was spacious, clean and tidy. Gary & Ben cooked damper bread with dates over the campfire. This was very nice. The younger campers under the age of 3 had a train ride on Thomas the Tank Engine. Located in a great spot to drive to Maleny and Kenilworth for day trips.

Excellent stay at A Place To Call Home. The hosts were super helpful and friendly, the bathrooms were always clean and well stocked, and our site location was neatly tucked in amongst the trees by the creek. Only downside was a few larger groups (which the hosts did contact us to warn us about) but it was quiet after 9pm. Will definitely be back! P.s. the afternoon damper with butter and golden syrup was a complete treat!

The hosts were fantastic, the hosts put on a damper for all on Saturday night and we had a great time. The facilities are clean and well kept, the hosts are so lovely. There is a playground for the kids and the sites are awesome, each with their own firepit and lovely shaded areas. The river is a short walk and it's such a good spot. Highly recommend this place for families and friends
