Perfect spot to settle down for a couple of days as we unwound from our trip to the Cape.
We were able to visit my brother in Coolum from this location.
We also visited the macadamina nut farm.
Beautiful Grassy spots, well maintained and Scott was very welcoming.
Our doggo even loved the downtime.
Perfect view with surrounding cane farms and The Maroochydore River flowing by.
We will differently be back.
Beautiful spot, Scott was very hospitable and lovely to chat with, we really enjoyed our time there and wish we had a few extra days. Close to everything for day trips but nice and secluded at camp. We will definitely be back!
Mine and my dad’s favourite campsite along our East Coast trip so far. Beautiful tranquil grounds, well maintained. Scott was lovely and super welcoming, made our stay. Enjoyed fishing on Maroochy river, a sunset and stargazing.
Saturday afternoon relaxing was interrupted by a noisy engine being worked on in the shed nearby and the fumes happened to be blown our way. Im sure it doesn’t happen every Saturday, just the day we arrived. Other than that the place is well kept and rather private. Friendly host making us feel welcome.
Absolutely loved our stay here! We only stayed for one night but honestly wish we’d booked longer. Scott was so welcoming, the sites are massive and being right on the river was just perfect. We had a fire, did some fishing and just really enjoyed the whole place. Scott also sells firewood and bait which was super handy. Great location close to Mount Coolum, beaches and restaurants too. Such a great little find — we’ll definitely be back, but for much longer next time!
What a great spot. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Nice open flat grassed area and right beside the river. We look forward to returning for another relaxing break. Thank you for your hospitality
We have had a great stay at Scott’s place. He is a lovely man. The sites are spacious, flat, lush and with fire pits, right on the river. And if u like fishing I caught a 40cm brim😉……not bragging.
Riverside Farm is a great Hipcamp, good sized, grassy sites, quiet, mountain views one side, the river the other and 15-20 minutes drive to the beach at Coolum. Scott, the host is a lovely guy. Definitely one we’ll go back to.
I really loved the Riverview farm, so peaceful and only 17mins from the beach.
The river on one side and the sugarcane and hills on then other.
Scott is the perfect host, offering firewood and bait for fishing. Also most camping zones had their own crab pot supplied by Scott.
I'll definitely be back! 🙂
Great spot, quiet, right on the river Scott is a great bloke easy to talk to, I will stay there again when I’m heading up that way, supplies the fire pit, crab pots supplied there to try your luck,
Cheers
The family had a great weekend camping on this amazing property. Located on the river, well maintained site, great location and easy access.
Scott welcomed us in the afternoon and communication was amazing.
Absolutely fantastic area to have a quiet night under stars and fish away the days problems. Scott was absolutely fantastic with setting us up and making sure we were comfortable for our stay.
Fireplaces are available with firewood to purchase on site. If you're feeling lucky, grab some bait of Scott and try and catch a Jack amongst the mangroves. A free pile of firewood is all yours with the catch and a good photo op besides.
My wife and I will definitely be back here to throw a line in the river, with the peace and quiet all around.
We enjoyed riverside farm, Scott was very welcoming and helpful. Great central position for Yandina and Coolum beach. Great for people who like to fish. We had some great sunsets.
It was really good and scott was a great hosts it was a bit like a caravan park with more room to use communal for us it was good as 5 campers left first night so we had lots of space if all twelve sites booked then its like park camping
Scott was welcoming. Although the place was popular with bookings, it still felt peaceful and relaxing. Nice and close to the river and well appointed. We will be back
