A cleared grass/gravel paddock close to everything Maroochydore, Coolum and the Sunshine Coast has to offer! Our land backs onto the Maroochy River (no direct access but the boat ramp is less than 5 minute drive away) and each site is sheltered by tall trees. There are 3 defined sites with plenty of room for privacy and escape in nature. Bring your own push bike or walking shoes to explore the mangroves and bushland. We have an abundance of native wildlife and it’s a good idea to bring mozzie/insect repellent. We do have plenty of firewood available although if it’s been raining it will be best to BYO wood. We have a communal fire pit you can use (please don't camp on the grass near the fire pit). We kindly ask all campers to be 100% self-sufficient as we do not have any waste, water, or power facilities. You carry it in you carry it out. Our site is 2WD friendly although once again if it's been raining it's best to stick to the gravel roads. Please message me if you have any questions! To keep us all safe, we have some VERY IMPORTANT notes: Please stay on the gravel roads - there are deep holes and drains hidden by long grass on neighbouring blocks. These can cause damage to vehicles and you will need a tow truck to be recovered. Bring your pets, please keep them close as we have no fences.

Noosa on the Sunshine Coast needs no introduction, with its world-famous sun, surf and sand. If you’re wanting to explore this slice of pandanus palm-fringed paradise, check-in to Ingenia Holidays Noosa, a short drive from bustling Hastings Street and just next door to the Tewantin National Park mountain-bike trails. You’ll want at least a few days to discover Noosa’s coastal charm, thriving food scene and diverse landscapes, so check-in to one of the cabins, villas, camp or caravan sites that deliver big holiday experiences for those with a smaller Noosa budget. When you’re not busy exploring what’s on offer within the park itself, you’ve got a large Noosa backyard to explore from the beach to the hinterland and national parks in between. With an action-packed kid’s program each school holidays, it’s no wonder this park is known to book out. Throughout the year, you’ll always find something happening at Ingenia Holidays Noosa with facilities that will eliminate the words “I’m bored” from the kids’ vernacular altogether with a pool, jumping cushion and games room to name just a few things on offer. With temperate weather all year round, soak up the outdoors and onsite facilities including BBQs and camp kitchens when you’re not exploring the Sunshine Coast’s favourite resort playground.

Next time, we’ll be staying much longer! We’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique, camping experience. Recommended to us while enjoying Byron Bay, the sunsets didn't disappoint, And when the horses shared the skyline, it was a quick reminder how beautiful Earth is.. There is a few ways to get to the creek edge but go slow. The easiest is the concrete steps near the Kayak. Low tide exposes a couple of easy crossings to sand banks. Could see and hear fish, clearly I haven't yet mastered the sport. THANK YOU to the host and helpers for wowing the kids with the playful twin goats and herd, aswell as a bit of hands on horse education. ( and for the time out it gave us adults lol) The Xmas lights are a nice touch and they show you where the toilets are in the dark. Toilets were a good bonus. Little road noise yet the experience well made up for it..

Loved Valley View 2 . Perfect location for peace and quiet and also day trips to the beach . We visited Coolum twice which was only 18 minutes away . Great day at the beach . Went to Eumundi Markets . We took the bikes for the kids and plenty of room to ride their bikes at valley View . We had a 19ft 6 caravan and was a great fit. Highly recommend!!

This was a lovely property. Horses and goats roaming around us was great. Lawns were mown and the camp areas are neat and tidy, overlooking the creek. Creek is tidal and great for a swim any time of the day. There are shallow bits so it’s also great for little ones at low tide. Thanks Jenna for the use of your kayak too. We had the place to ourselves, but even if there were other campers there is plenty of room to spread out, so I’d highly recommend this place if you want a camp with a bit of pricvacy. There is a tiny bit of road noise, but the camps are pretty far from the road, so it wasn’t too bad. Jenna was very accomodating and happy to answer any questions. Highly recommend!

What a gorgeous spot, I just had a quick sleep. But the location is good and the night stars were bright! The canoe and the lake were picturesque, but I didn't have a chance to really chill out and enjoy them this time. Host was super responsive, and it was easy to come and go. All their animals look happy, and all the native ones are living in a little patch of paradise too.

Great spot with good sized camping spots along a rocky creek. Our site had a picnic table and swing (which none of the other sites had) a big fire pit and direct access to the creek. All sites have good tree coverage and open sunny places. My dogs loved the space and creek. There were piles of cut firewood to use (but I wouldn’t rely on it, I think it was just the owner leaving branches and trees that came down in the storm for people to use). There is a drop toilet as well which is very rustic. Great little spot close to Yandina.

We had the most peaceful and restorative stay at Riverside Farm. It was exactly what we needed—a quiet place to breathe, unwind, and completely relax. The property has a beautifully calm atmosphere, and waking up by the river each day was just magic. Scott was an exceptional host—friendly, welcoming, and the perfect balance between checking in and giving us our own space. We felt looked after without ever feeling crowded. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for tranquillity and a chance to truly switch off. We’ll definitely be back. 🌿✨

Loved it so much! Wish we stayed more than one night! Brad was super nice, helped with the fire (because we are hopeless) ensured we were set with firewood giving us tips along the way, gave us a DOZEN eggs for the morning and a pan (which will be used a lot) and encouraged us to explore around. We did not need to drive anywhere, and I will definitely be coming back with more friends. Amazing price for what you get and so worth the cows visiting in the morning! Thank you so much again!

We loved staying at the Kellys. The propery is very well maintained and the location is great. We had a number of things to do in the Eumundi/Noosa region and the Kellys was a great place to base. We could see the other campers but so much room we couldnt hear them. Little bit of noise from nearby roads but very quiet and peacful otherwise, we didnt expect to find such a rural secluded spot that close to Noosa. Steve was a great host. Friendly, welcoming and helpful. Will definately be our go to campground in the area from here on in.

The best camping in Mount Coolum National Park, QLD guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure to Mount Coolum National Park, a scenic treasure on the Sunshine Coast. Challenge yourself with a steep climb to the summit for panoramic views, or immerse in birdwatching amid rare and threatened species. While camping within the park isn't an option, nearby coastal resorts offer accommodation for those wishing to extend their stay.

When to go

The best time to visit Mount Coolum National Park is during the cooler months, from April to September, when the climate is mild and ideal for hiking. Summer can be quite hot, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C, making early morning or late afternoon visits more comfortable.

Know before you go

  • Sheer cliffs and slippery rocks are present; always supervise children and stay on designated tracks.
  • Check park alerts for closures due to severe weather or fire management.
  • Wheelchair access is not available within the park.
  • No drinking water is provided; carry sufficient water to stay hydrated.
  • Domestic animals are not permitted, ensuring the protection of native wildlife.
