Riverdell is 166 acres located on the eastern side of the Blackall Range extending down to the Mooloolah River headwaters. Escape off grid to enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the cattle grazing in the paddocks, spot the native birdlife or cuddle up by the fire in your own secluded paradise. Sunrises are spectacular while sunsets by open campfire are also a highlight of the Riverdell experience. Take a short walk up the creek, west of The Junction carpark above the camp site to see some scenic rockpools and waterfalls in the cool of the rainforest canopy. Walking boots are highly recommended. There is plenty to do and see in the area including exploring nearby Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve, Gardeners Falls, Kondalilla National Park, Australia Zoo, indulge in a tasting at the Barrel at Clouds Vineyard opposite the front gate, stroll through Maleny Botanic Gardens & Bird World or take a short drive to some of Australia’s most beautiful beaches. Access during daylight hours via 4WD ONLY with AT or MT off-road Tyres, RT Tyres are not permitted due to the steepness of the tracks. Off-road camper trailers are suitable for some campsites (max weight 1500kg and max length 5m restrictions apply). Caravans are not permitted due to the steep terrain. A Portaloo is located between the Ocean View 1 and 2 sites and a second Portaloo is located centrally and within walking distance to The Knoll, Upper Plateau, Valley View and Little Bunya campsites. There are no facilities at The Junction, and you MUST be self-contained. Riverdell is dog friendly, off leash if trained, and recommend tick treatment before arrival. For safety, no arrivals after dark unless arranged prior.

I loved this camping spot, you have great views no matter where you look. This is a camping spot I would definitely come back too. I made a video of my experience there, it's on YouTube under the channel name Stress Less Camp More, the video is called - This Mountain Farm Has the Most Epic Camping Spots Ever!

We took our camper and our dog to Ocean View 1. It is an excellent site, great view as the name suggests, very quiet and private. We explored the surrounding areas during the day and settled in each afternoon with a campfire. Spencer and Carolyn were very helpful, and we bought some of their beef which was delicious. We would definitely like to go there again

It was our first time at Riverdell, and we stayed at The Junction campsite. Absolutely loved the privacy of the junction and the creek was so nice! Our dog absolutely loved swimming and exploring the creek. They don’t exaggerate about the road in and out either! Very steep and rocky, especially the road down to the junction. But was fun to do a little 4WDing. Will definitely be staying here again!

We recently had the pleasure of camping at Ocean View 2 Riverdell, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the scenic views took our breath away—spanning from the river to the ocean, the landscape was stunning at every turn. The campsite itself was spacious and well-maintained, with plenty of room for the two of us but more room for a small group! The amenities were impressive, with clean toilet and well-kept fire pit for a cozy evening. We especially appreciated the peace and quiet, allowing for a truly relaxing getaway. If you’re a nature lover or just in need of a peaceful retreat, Ocean View 2 Riverdell is the perfect spot. We will definitely be coming back for another visit!
