Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Off-leash friendly
Pets can be off-leash at some sites.
A cleared grass/gravel paddock close to everything Maroochydore, Coolum and the Sunshine Coast has to offer! Our land backs onto the Maroochy River (no direct access but the boat ramp is less than 5 minute drive away) and each site is sheltered by tall trees. There are 3 defined sites with plenty of room for privacy and escape in nature. Bring your own push bike or walking shoes to explore the mangroves and bushland. We have an abundance of native wildlife and it’s a good idea to bring mozzie/insect repellent. We do have plenty of firewood available although if it’s been raining it will be best to BYO wood. We have a communal fire pit you can use (please don't camp on the grass near the fire pit). We kindly ask all campers to be 100% self-sufficient as we do not have any waste, water, or power facilities. You carry it in you carry it out. Our site is 2WD friendly although once again if it's been raining it's best to stick to the gravel roads. Please message me if you have any questions! To keep us all safe, we have some VERY IMPORTANT notes: Please stay on the gravel roads - there are deep holes and drains hidden by long grass on neighbouring blocks. These can cause damage to vehicles and you will need a tow truck to be recovered. Bring your pets, please keep them close as we have no fences.

Sunny Coast stop over
Location is in the heart of the Sunshine Coast but you get your own private open space where you feel far away from civilisation. We were also glad to have gravel beneath our van in the rain.

It’s a nice one nighter but the motorway nouse is quite loud and consistent otherwise convenient to Maroochy and the beaches.

The person who rents it is not very nice, we weren't sure how to get there and she wasn't that helpful The place itself is not good and doesn't offer anything else, it's too expensive for what they offer There were a lot of mosquitos because it's close to the river

Simple site, no fuss
Site was easy to find and exactly what we needed - just a spot to park overnight. It was pretty overgrown with little gravel left. Looks like not used a lot. We were easily able to drive out 2wd van into the first site (which was the one we booked), but with a lot of rain that day it was very wet on the rest of the site and I wouldn’t have been confident to drive/park anywhere other then the little gravel spot we did find. Too wet for us to have a fire anyway, but would recommend taking own wood if you’re looking to do that as there doesn’t seem to be a deadfall really lying around. We did live the kangaroos hanging out at dusk and dawn!
