Granite Cascades is a nature retreat in a beautiful area on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland in the headwaters of the Mary River. Here you can enjoy nature at its best. Granite Cascades offer beautiful creekside private camping on a total of 160 acres which is a Nature Refuge and protected area. We are at the end of dirt road so you feel you are in the middle of a wilderness. This is a quiet retreat where you can soak in nature, restore your soul and relax. There is a mixture of eucalypt forests and rainforests in the headwaters of the Mary river. The creek is inviting to explore with swimming pools to cool down. The forest here is diverse, from subtropical rainforest to open eucalypt forest. There are walking tracks which let you explore more of what the property has to offer. If you fancy a Sunday coffee or relaxing breakfast we are only 5kms from Crystal Waters Ecovillage (They host movies, markets, music nights, yoga, artisan bakery and a cafe). I am an artist and manage my property for its ecological value. I love to share my love of this special place with others. Guided nature walks can be also arranged.

Site 3 Middle Ground
Dianne's property was magic. Quiet and secluded with little crystal clear pools to soak in with enough space to share between the 4 camps. Stargazing at night was amazing and Dianne herself was super helpful with knowledge on local points of interest, a property map with the best swimming spots highlighted and also when family needed to contact me via her provided number. Only point to note, there are 2 creek crossings with steep access to enter the property so I recommend high clearance on your vehicle.

Wonderful, peaceful stay in paradis
We had a wonderful time on Dianne’s land! Beautiful creek running around the campsites, very quiet and peaceful. Dianne coming to say hi was a lovely surprise and one we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know a bit more about the land. Thank you so much, we hope to be back soon

Site 1 west
The site was ok although there was no indication that it would be shared, the directions were also ok however when we did arrive we were told we were in the wrong area but with no signs or numbers to go by how are we supposed to know, the host was not rude but not welcoming either and offered a brief run down of procedures then left adding that she won't be seeing us again, if you're going to advertise that your a green site why did we have to camp nearby a burnt out bus that is an eye sore, old piles of roofing iron and an old truck axle on the camp site, the river was beutiful and we were happy to have enjoyed it but the experience was a thumbs down, we booked for 3 nights and stayed one.

Bush Tucker orchard
This was our second trip to Bush Tucker Orchard. It is one of our most favourite camping destinations. It's quiet, picturesque, and even in the heat of summer, there is plenty of shade and many Rock Pools in the adjacent creek to cool off in. I suspect the lack of mobile phone coverage may deter some, but it's one of the things that attracts us. No mobile phone, no internet, no email, no Facebook, no worries ;-)

Site 2 East
We loved camping at Granite Cascades. It was very peaceful. The campsites were well spaced apart, the visiting wildlife was a treat and relaxing by the shady creek was just delightful. Thanks Di for sharing your space with us.

Swimming and Walking
Great spot. Nice, clear little creek through the middle of the property which is good for a swim. Some nice walks. I asked for privacy and was well respected. Greatly recommend.
