Wonderland 4WD Bushcamp sits about fifteen minutes outside Maleny, tucked away in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. It’s quiet out here. The campsites are spread out and rustic, built for anyone wanting a proper break from town without someone pitching a tent right on top of them.
Keep in mind that you are looking at the overall property description right now, not the individual camp details. Every site on this land is different, which means you must read the specific site description for the spot you plan to book because that is where we list the exact track conditions, terrain quirks, and minimum vehicle capabilities required to reach it. Do not submit a booking or special requests until you've checked those vehicle specs against your actual setup.
We meet campers at the gate to escort everyone in safely across the property. Because of that hands-on check-in, both The Summit and The Gun Range require a mandatory two-night stay, so please don't message asking for a single-night exception on those two locations.
You'll see miniature Galloway cattle wandering the paddocks while you're here. We drive around in the Jeep daily to feed them treats and give them a pat, but otherwise, you won't be bothered by anyone except the local wildlife.

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.

Looking to escape? Welcome to Kenilworth Camping—our little piece of paradise. Flanked by more than 5 km of direct Mary River frontage, we are excited to share our third-generation family farm with you.
Sorry- we don’t accept P-Platers, unless part of a family group.
Unwind, relax, and leave your worries at the gate as you explore the spacious campground along the farm boundary. Let the water wash over you, light a campfire, bring your dogs along, and make lasting memories with your family.
As your hosts, we are proud to share “Adadale,” our family farm of more than 65 years, with you. We hope you enjoy your stay.
While camping by the river, you can spend your days swimming, fishing, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the water or beneath the trees. Keep an eye out early in the morning for one of the property’s most special residents—the elusive platypus. The Mary River is also home to the protected Mary River lungfish, a remarkable species that has existed for millions of years and can be found in the deep rock pools.
The campsites are kept as natural as possible, offering a genuine paddock camping experience rather than manicured lawns. Guests have access to flushing toilets, hot showers for a small gold coin donation, and potable drinking water. These amenities are located a short walk from the camping area due to the risk of flooding.
Firewood and ice are available for purchase on-site. You may bring your own raised fire pit or use an existing fire pit where available. Whether you are looking for a relaxing riverside getaway, a peaceful fishing spot, or a quiet place to reconnect with nature, you will find plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the tranquillity.
Please note that this is a working farm, so you may see cattle moving through the property during your stay. The campground is located in a flood-risk area, and campers will be directed to suitable camping areas away from the riverbank depending on current conditions.

An absolutely beautiful spot! Peaceful and an immersive experience with nature. The horses strolling by, the sound of all sorts of birds and frogs and complete serenity. Shane and Robyn were lovely hosts and gave clear directions to get to the spot. Hope to be back soon

We absolutely loved camping here. We stayed for 3 nights and it was complete bliss. Beautiful nature sounds, scenic hillsides, roaming horses and spacious sites. What more could you ask for. It was super peaceful and the Bellbird site was perfect for us. A great location to stop into Maleny and explore local national parks as well. Robyn is a fantastic host! ☺️🍃

Very private and a lovely shady camp with all the bamboo. The creek ran right around it and the dogs had an absolute ball. Great off leash area for them to swim and do a bit of exploring. We had a campervan and a camper trailer with 3 adults and 1 child. Quite uneven ground but still
managed well. Loved this spot and will definitely go again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay, surrounded by the beautiful Australian bush and local wildlife. Our campsite was perfectly situated, with convenient access to amenities and nearby attractions.
Communication with our hosts was smooth and easy, with clear instructions provided well ahead of our arrival, making the whole experience simple and stress-free.
All in all, we had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a peaceful place to enjoy the outdoors and experience the beauty of the Australian bush. Thank you for hosting us.

Great spot close to Belli Creek (seasonal). Wide open site with choice of several setup locations on grassy level areas with shade or sun options. Easy access via a well formed track.
The Indian dinner option is highly recommended. Three generous courses of great tasting food cooked by the host then delivered to your site.
