What a remarkable place, the location down along the river with plenty of shade and green grass was so beautiful. The flushing toilet and shower were an added bonus. Heidi and Mike are a lovely couple and were very quick to reply to my messages. We camped with 8 friends and everyone raved about it, we will definitely return

Heidi & Mike really are superb hosts and their secluded creek-side property is utterly amazing. We were spoilt for choice for creekside areas to park our caravan, all of the potential sites were equally stunning, beautifully level with a lush buffalo grass carpet. The wildlife was abundant and a true joy for birdwatchers - Victoia's Riflebirds, Wompoo Fruit Doves, Emerald Doves, Spotted Catbirds, Forrest Kingfishers and Honeyeaters. We didn't get to see a Tree Kangaroo but we did see Platypus swimming in the creek next to camp. Amazing!! Heidi & Mike, thanks for sharing your sensational slice of paradise, and we most certainly will return.

This is definitely a spot I would book again! Both Heidi and Mike are super friendly and welcoming. The area provided is huge, the site is well maintained, and the creek is beautiful with easy access and can be very close to camp if you wanted. We stayed for 3 nights but we honestly wish we could live there forever, do not hesitate to book this spot, not one single complaint!

A Magical Camp in Every Season
10 m pop-up camper · With kids ·
Malanda Stream Secluded Camping
We have had the privilege of experiencing this beautiful camp in Summer, Winter, and Spring, and each time it has revealed a new kind of magic. Picture this: You emerge from your camper shortly after sunrise to discover a pale mist curling through the trees, softening the edges of the waking rainforest; transforming your camp-site into a quiet dream. Dew-beaded spiderwebs cling to the trees, and glimmer across the sprawling green lawn like tiny gems as the first rays of sunlight filter through the fog. The intriguing call of the Wompoo Fruit Dove beckons you on a lazy stroll along the banks of the trickling stream. A flash of blue darts by you; the Azure Kingfisher is fishing for his morning meal. Movements in the tree just outside your camper door, the Olive backed Sunbirds are busily flitting from branch to branch. The world around you feels hushed and new-touched by the calm, lingering magic of dawn. For those of you that have visited before, there are some fun developments taking place at camp. I won't divulge too many secrets, you'll have to discover them for yourself. Hints: Where does that quirky creek crossing lead to? What exactly is a 'loo with a view' ? For those who haven't been, you can rest assured that Heidi and Mike are wonderful hosts that keep the property in mint condition, and are always looking for ways to improve your camp experience. Can anyone spot the Wompoo Dove in my woeful pic, or the sneaky- rather large but chilled out:) -Scrub Python we saw?

We loved camping at Malanda Private Stream. The only sounds were birds and the creek. The area is large and flat, the water was cold. Will definitely camp here again.

This is the third time we camped here, but this time we were at a different location. It was just as magical as the other times we were here. Malanda Creek is one of our favorite escapes and we have already booked out next stay. The only thing we don't like is leaving.

We love camping here! It has a beautifully manicured lawn, no dust!! Mike and Heidi are great owners who look after the property. Always looking to improve where they can. Friendly and welcoming. The spot is super private and HUGE. Lots of space for kids and dogs to run around and play. Close to the lakes for a day out.

Camping at Malanda Creek was exceptional. Thank you Mike and Heidi for making your property available for campers. Our family enjoyed the peace and tranquility and having the space to ourselves was a huge plus. The natural features of the site--grassy flat area surrounding by rainforest and bordered by the creek--was perfect for us as we enjoy camping in natural surroundings. We will definitely be back again in the future.

This camp is absolute paradise, we could have stayed forever. We had 5 nights. It was private and peaceful, we only heard wildlife and the babbling creek the entire time, oh and a few cows. We would highly recommend this Hipcamp! Owners were fantastic, good communicators. Their fresh eggs are the best!

We loved our stay!! The site was beautifully maintained, with a lovely creek running through where we all enjoyed a dip. The site has plenty of space for running around and lots of shade. The fire pit and firewood provided were massive bonuses. Super private as well. Lovely hosts, premium spot, will definitely stay again.

We were warmly welcomed by Heidi. This is a private level camp with water views. Lush vegetation and mown grass, firewood already chopped and stacked and an open area which is good for charging batteries. The creek is delightful and we enjoyed cooling off in it. It was wonderful to go to sleep listening to the babbling stream. Definitely 5 star camping!

Malanda Stream Secluded Camping
My husband and I with our dog camped at this beautiful and tranquil spot for 2 nights. The camping area was immaculately kept. The area was flat and grassy, which was perfect for our tent set up. It overlooks a stream lined with rainforest trees, with rapids nearby. The sound of the water running and the birds singing made us feel close to nature which had a soothing effect. A fire pit and good quality firewood was supplied, along with outdoor chairs that could be used on the shallow banks of the stream. We loved our stay due to the ambience of the area and the friendly welcome from Heidi & Mike. I am looking forward to going back some time to do some Bird, Platypus & Kangaroo Tree watching/photographing.
