Kanimbia Cottages / Camping offers true luxury through slow living and a deep connection with nature. Wake to birdsong, breathe in fresh hinterland air, enjoy quiet moments of reflection, or spend unhurried time with your loved ones. This is a place to pause, reset, and move at a gentler pace. Located approximately 9 km from Mapleton in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland of Queensland, the property sits at the doorstep of Mapleton National Park and spans 30 acres of peaceful countryside surrounded by native forest, open skies, and natural beauty. The area is rich with rainforest walks, scenic trails, and nearby waterfalls such as Gheerulla and Kondalilla, inviting you to explore or simply wander without a plan. During the day, sunlight filters through the trees and the land feels alive; by night, the stillness settles in and on clear evenings the Milky Way stretches across the sky in breathtaking detail. Your campsite (Site 1 or Site 2) is thoughtfully positioned near a picnic table and within easy reach of essential amenities, including onsite outdoor toilets for comfort (please see photos). Beautifully designed wooden decks are available for setting up your tents, offering a peaceful and elevated space for a restful night’s sleep. Spend your days enjoying gentle walks, quiet sunsets, and the soothing chorus of birds, and your evenings gathered around the outdoor fireplace, sharing stories and warmth beneath a sky full of stars.

To ensure a private and relaxed environment, we limit the campground to two large sites within this paddock, providing ample space for caravans, campers, and tents. Each site covers approximately 900 square meters, allowing plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the natural surroundings.
Nestled in a valley of rolling green hills beneath Mapleton National Park you'll find our beautiful property. Easy access from a well maintained dirt road. Cedar creek runs through the middle of the property for a nice refreshing swim in the swimming hole by the bridge or explore the meandering creek. There is a 4wd access road through to the mapleton national park for you to enjoy the hiking trails and nature.
We want your camping experience at Cedar Banks to be delightful while respecting our local community, wildlife, and surroundings.

Come for the creek. Stay for the stars.
Lacrana by the Creek is a quiet, spacious camping experience designed for families and couples looking to slow down, reconnect, and spend time in nature.
Set on a working property with just four well-spaced campsites, it offers something that’s becoming increasingly rare—space, stillness, and a sense of being somewhere real.
This isn’t a busy campground or a highly developed retreat. It’s a place where things are left simple on purpose. The air smells of eucalyptus, the creek runs steadily through the land, and the sounds around you shift from traffic and screens to birds, breeze, and water.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the difference—not in a dramatic way, but in a quiet, steady one.
Days here are simple. There’s no schedule. People naturally drift toward the creek—for a morning coffee, a cool-down swim, or just to sit and listen. Kids explore freely, while adults read, rest, or simply enjoy the space.
Evenings bring a shift. Fires are lit, meals are shared, and the day slows right down. There’s no noise, no rush—just time. And then the stars arrive.
Far from city lights, the sky fills with stars—clear, bright, and uninterrupted. It’s the kind of sky that makes you stop and look up.
The Property
The property is intentionally small, with only four campsites:
• Creek Bend Camp (Family)
• Bellbird Camp (Family)
• Stargazer Camp (Couples)
• Quiet Creek Camp (Couples)
Each site is spaced for privacy and offers a slightly different feel while still sharing the same core experience. This is a working property, home to native wildlife. We ask guests to respect the land, keep noise low, and leave no trace.
Lacrana by the Creek is best suited to those who value quiet, space, and a slower pace. If you’re looking to switch off, breathe, and enjoy a few days under a sky full of stars—you’ll feel right at home.

We arrived late and didn’t fully appreciate just how beautiful this property was until we woke to the sound of birdsong the following morning.
At first, the kids were disappointed there was no phone reception, but it didn’t take long for them to forget about their screens. They spent their time playing in the waterfall, exploring the property, and reconnecting with nature while enjoying a genuine break from the outside world.
Our hosts couldn’t have been more welcoming. They were happy to help with firewood, answered any questions we had, and even took us on a buggy tour of the property, which was a great way to see everything it had to offer.
If you’re looking for a peaceful escape to unwind and enjoy nature, this is a fantastic place to stay. We’d happily return.

We loved our secluded site listening to the Bell and Whip birds and the frogs in the pretty creek.
The site is pretty slopey so wouldn't suit a large tent, we had a swag on the only flat spot.
The neighbouring sites are far enough away that they don't bother you and you can't see each other too.
Pretty little spot :)

We loved the privacy and peacefulness of this beautiful camp. Bird song and friendly cows, short walks to enchanting creek.
Our host was prompt responding to messages and provided a composting toilet and even toilet paper.

Such a beautiful location with heaps of gravillias, lots of beautiful birds, great open ground and a feeling of space and privacy. And only a short walk into town.

it's a very pretty area, it's large and fairly flat, has a large fireplace and a nice creek just next to the fields. The owners were very nice and it is a fairly brief drive to Maleny if needed

It was well maintained and tidy. The place was quiet and the the large sites ensures privacy.
The surrounding towns and bushwalk were a hit too.

With pets
A magical spot, beautiful views, peaceful and well maintained. The run up is not for the faint hearted-the description for access is spot on-high clearance, winch required and a bit of 4WD know how. Jeremy met us at the gate and was very helpful and friendly. Was definitely worth the effort.

4 m rooftop tent
Moy Park Camping Ground was a lovely place for a two-night stay. My husband and I were looking for somewhere to relax, enjoy the water, nature, and fresh air, and it was a great little escape.
The campground was easy to find, communication with the host was great, and access was simple. With only four campsites, it has a peaceful feel. We arrived with only one site left, which was on top of the hill. It had beautiful sunrise and sunset views, with cows grazing in the paddock behind us.
The site was flat enough for our rooftop tent, although there wasn’t much shade. The lower sites looked like they could offer more shade depending on setup. The host offered for us to move lower, but we stayed as the other spot would have been closer to the other campers.
The grounds were well maintained, with freshly mowed lawns and a tidy feel. The water was a short stroll down the hill. It wasn’t the best time of year for fishing, but we still had fun trying. We also got to meet Floyd the dog, who came by each morning and evening to say hello.
There was some noise from a nearby property and occasional cars from the access road, but it didn’t affect our stay.
Overall, we really enjoyed our time at Moy Park Camping Ground. A peaceful little spot to unwind and enjoy the outdoors.

Such a groovy 4WD camping spot! Massive property, awesome site set ups. Instructions and map are exact- couldn’t have been easier. Ryan messaged us to let us know we could check in early - what fabulous service. We only booked one night but we will definitely be back for a week!
