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.

Maleny - Little Bunya, Riverdell
We had the most incredible visit to Riverdell. Even the rain just added some moodiness to the view. Stunning property that was the perfect place to enjoy with our toddler and doggo. If you’re physically able a wander down to the creek is definitely worth it! Quite a steep climb so pack some food to enjoy down there.

Maleny - Upper Plateau, Riverdell
What an amazing stay! We spent the long weekend exploring the local rainforests and waterfalls. Even popped in on the pioneer village and learnt more about the area’s history. Then we were able to come back to our secluded camp and enjoy the afternoon cooking on the fire and reading our books. The rain didn’t bother us too much during the weekend although things did get quite boggy by the end. We disengaged 4x4 to enter the camp site to avoid tearing up the ground too much. Would definitely come again.
