Nestled far from the main road, over the hill and tucked away at the back of our property, you’ll find your campsite — a completely private 4WD-only escape at the meeting point of the Mary River and Sandy Creek. Set within our Riverdance property, this secluded site offers a true off-grid camping experience surrounded by nature. With only one campsite available, you can enjoy total privacy, unwind beside the handmade fire pit, and fall asleep to the sounds of frogs, birds, and native wildlife. While we live on the wider property, the campsite is privately positioned well away from the main residence, ensuring a peaceful and secluded stay. Just a few steps from your camp, you’ll have direct access to both the Mary River and Sandy Creek — perfect for exploring, swimming, relaxing by the water, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings. The site is shaded by established trees, providing a natural bush-camping atmosphere while still offering a cleared area for easy setup and vehicle access. Whether you’re travelling with a rooftop tent, swag, camper trailer, or self-contained 4WD setup, this is the ideal destination for those seeking a quiet and scenic retreat. Please note this is a remote-style camping experience suited to self-sufficient guests. There are currently no bathroom or shower facilities, so campers must bring everything they need and leave no trace. Access is via 4WD only, and conditions may vary depending on weather. Guests should assess weather conditions prior to arrival, as access may be affected after heavy rain. Please note - assume all fences are electric! If you’re looking for a private riverside escape, campfires under the stars, and the kind of peace only nature can offer, Riverside Camp at Riverdance delivers a memorable off-grid getaway. While the campsite feels worlds away, it is conveniently located approximately 20 minutes from both Kenilworth and Maleny, giving you easy access to local cafés, shops, and hinterland attractions. Riverdance also offers an on-site guesthouse, Riverdance at Conondale, for those interested in future stays that combine off-grid adventure with added comfort. The guesthouse is also positioned well away from the campsite, ensuring privacy for both experiences.Tucked away at the meeting point of the Mary River and Sandy Creek, this 4WD-only escape is pure seclusion. The fenced area around the camp site is roughly 5 acres but it is surrounded by approximately 130 acres of cattle grazing paddocks. With only one campsite available, you’ll have the entire space to yourself — no crowds, just open bushland, flowing water nearby, and the freedom to fully unwind. On occasion you may see myself or my husband and our dogs moving cattle around the property, or guests from the guesthouse (which is situated completely away from the camp area) exploring the property, however the campsite area is a no-go zone for guesthouse occupants - this area is just for you! Spend your days relaxing by the river or enjoying the simplicity of off-grid living. As the sun sets, gather around your private handmade fire pit and fall asleep to the sounds of the creek and native wildlife. Perfect for couples, friends, or small groups looking for a peaceful escape, this is an ideal spot to disconnect, recharge, and experience the beauty of the outdoors without interruption. 4WD access required ensures a true off-grid adventure and enhances the sense of seclusion that makes this site so special.

Riverside Camp at Riverdance
Riverdance Camp, was a true private escape. We camped in a roof top tent, along with our two dogs and baby. The campsite was 5 acres of private green land. Safe for the dogs to wander around. The campsite site was level, and had a picturesque track to sandy creek, which joins the Mary River. Words can’t describe how pretty it is. You must experience it for yourself. A beautiful spot for everyone to swim or sit in the shallow sandy stream.

We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be coming back! What a beautiful place, it’s the perfect private spot to disconnect, relax, and enjoy some quality time together surrounded by nature. The space was peaceful, beautiful, and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Alice was such a lovely host, very friendly and welcoming, and communication was absolutely perfect from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this beautiful camping spot, and we’re already looking forward to coming back! ❤️

We had a wonderful time. The camp area was very private and secluded and was only a very short walk to the creek area which was a great spot to relax. Directions were easy to follow and the drive through the property was fairly straightforward and was quite scenic. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a private spot to unwind.

Idyllic Riverside Getaway
Tent · With pets ·
Riverside Camp at Riverdance
We had an incredible time camping at this beautiful, private site with our two golden retrievers! The space is huge, with easy access to the flowing Mary River, which has both shallow and deep sections perfect for a swim. The property is completely idyllic, and the stargazing at night was absolutely perfect. We will 1000% be back! The host, Alice, was so lovely and went out of her way to ensure we had a great trip. Just a quick heads-up for future campers: there wasn’t any signage about the electric fence, which has a decent kick to it (our dogs found that out the hard way! ⚡️), but it’s to be expected on a working cattle farm. You definitely need a 4WD to access the site, and we loved driving up close to the cows on the way in. This was a fantastic experience, and we’ll definitely be recommending it to our family and friends. Thanks so much for having us!

Perfect Off-Grid Escape! 🏕️
4 m rooftop tent ·
Riverside Camp at Riverdance
What a beautiful stay! My partner, our dog, and I enjoyed a night at this site and couldn’t recommend it more. We love a full ‘off-grid’ camping experience, and with our self-sufficient setup, this location absolutely delivered. The property itself is stunning; driving through the paddocks to reach the secluded site was an experience in itself. Alice and her partner were fantastic hosts, making sure we found the site easily and were always just a message away if needed. The spot was perfect; completely private, with not a house or person in sight. Exactly what we were looking for. If you’re after a remote, relaxing, riverside camping experience, we highly recommend making the trip to the Sunny Coast Hinterland and staying at Riverdance. The animals were gorgeous too!

We had such an amazing stay here. The views are absolutely beautiful, with the campsite sitting right beside a peaceful creek and river. Waking up to open grassy fields, cows grazing nearby, and total seclusion from other campers made it feel like a private little paradise. Highly recommend
