Camping at this site offers a mixed experience. Many guests enjoyed the proximity to Maroochydore and the opportunity to be close to nature with kangaroos often seen nearby. However, some campers noted that the site feels more like a simple field than advertised, and the presence of mosquitoes and noise from the nearby highway can be off-putting. The host, Dani, received positive feedback for being accommodating and responsive despite some challenges with site conditions.

Unforgettable but not for good reas
7 m travel trailer · With kids
Camp entry and exit is small and restrictive with a big van.
Mossie and midgies were so bad that we got to the spot, dropped stabilizing legs and locked ourselves in the van. Woke up to the tranquil sound of heavy machinery developing the land 10 meters away after a broken night sleep listening to a nearby dog bark consistently. Did not stay the 2nd night.

It was convenient to marichodore, but for a grass block only it was a bit expensive with no amenities

We had a great stay on the Blue site. It was a great location. So close to Maroochydore as we needed while feeling like a country location with a beautiful grassed area and visiting kangaroos daily.

We only had a brief stay here but it was perfect for what we wanted. Absolutely loved having kangaroos as neighbours.
We had to change our plans quite late in the day and Dani was really accommodating. Thank you so much

We enjoyed our stay at Conservation Camping Maroochy. It was so close to Our family who live in Maroochydore yet felt like a country stay with the kangaroos that visited. Dani was super prompt at responding to messages and we extended our stay there. Highly recommended if you like to camp off grid.

Very different from the photos in the ad, the stone path and gravel sites are all overgrown and is essentially just a field.
Quite noisy by the highway.
Poorly sign posted at entrance and had a chain over it stating “no trespassing” so quite confusing.
We got our 6 berth caravan bogged because the field was flooded for 2 hours before thankfully the host arranged a neighbour to assist us.
The site does need a bit of restoration to prevent further events as such

The owners commutation was excellent...and put up with my newness. I would recommend this spot for travellers who need a break off the highway. Lovely stone fire pit for that cold night.

Great location and close enough to town whilst still enjoying the open space. Perfect for pet friendly camping. Bring lots of insect repellent.

There is nothing and it costs too much, it’s also quite difficult to find, don’t go with darkness because you will not find it easily.

The photos show the Maroochy River but really that has nothing to do with the camp site. It is just a field and there are a lot of mozzies. It is also very close to the highway. Maybe remove the river photos.

Worst camping experience of my life

The worst camping experience of my life!
If you are looking for an overpriced piece of land to camp on (no showers, no toilets) directly to the noisy highway and hundreds of mosquitos, this is the place to go.

Great spot, waking to kangaroo outside your camp. Close to everything and within 30 minutes of so many of the attractions we wanted to visit. Eumundi Markets are an absolute must! The only downside was the mozzies and midges, but it wasn’t a big deal as we knew they’d be around. Overall, a fantastic stay.

Pleasant place
7 m Class A · With pets
Not a bad place, possibly could have done with the grass around the fire pit area being trimmed a bit better. Not as peaceful as we thought it would be. The highway being about 300 metres away traffic noise could be a little intrusive earlier in the evenings. It did quiten down later at night but there was traffic all night not a deal killer. Definately a great spot for overnight or two at most. Very central to Maroochydore only 5 minutes away across the river. Beaches and other day tripping very handy as well. Fairly quiet mob of Roos early in the morning and later in the afternoon, didn't come into camp but were around. Overall a good price for not having any amenities and good gravel track to all three sites.

We loved this spot! Great location, close to the beach and cafes. There was only one other site in use but there was plenty of space between us. It was nice and private, great spot for the dogs too.

Good location, but would only recommend for a quick overnight stay. Campsites leave a lot of be desired, lawns were very overgrown, rubbish scattered around (obviously not the hosts fault) and the photos are not up to date with its current condition.

Great camping spot with plenty of space, peaceful surroundings, and easy access. Clean areas, good open areas, and a relaxed vibe made it perfect for a weekend escape. Woke up to fresh air and kangaroos. Would happily return and recommend it to others. Great value.

Very nice place. I would definitely stay again. We stayed only one night, but it was beautiful.. surrounded by nature, very peaceful, and completely quiet. Access was straightforward as long as the instructions were followed. Dani was friendly and responded very quickly. I highly recommend it.

A lovely spot at the grassy area, plenty of space and well kept. With kangaroos to greet us and not many mozzies yet it was perfect for a quiet overnight stay.

Pink was really easy to find and if you like a bit of off the beaten track, you’ll love this. So much space!! Fire pits and a level area gave for a lovely quiet stay with a beautiful vista! Little road noise and slept like a log!!

This was a great area to access Maroochydore and surrounds. Unfortunately, there were loads of midgies, which I didn't find out for a couple of days when all of the welts appeared. so it's good if you can handle those bugs.

This spot was a cute little hide away, very quiet with clear spots to pitch your tent or park your campervan/ caravan. I will defenetly be coming back and would recommend to friends. It's a short drive to the beaches and stores aswell which is a bonus :)

Close to bike paths, the river and the beach. John Lantry park is nearby for campers who need a water tap. Appreciated the cool breeze here during the hot weather. Thanks Dani
