Heavenly Sunshine Coast escapes

A diverse range of landscapes awaits you on the Sunshine Coast hinterland, from rolling hills and pastoral lands to dense rainforests and sparse mountain ranges. Much like the local landscape itself, Sunshine Coast hinterland accommodation offers a range options for you to choose from — from glamping and rainforest retreats perfect for romantic getaways to farm stays, national park camping and a wealth of caravan parks with all the amenities you need for a fun-filled family holiday, you’re sure to find the perfect digs for your next Sunshine Coast holiday adventure. 

Camping and Caravan Parks on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland

National park camping within two hours drive from the Queensland capital doesn’t get any better than the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Amamoor State Forest in the Mary Valley may be surrounded by pine plantations, but it’s also home to riparian rainforest that boasts more than 120 bird species and some of the best camping in the region. Cedar Grove offers grassy campsites surrounded by lush rainforests while a short drive away Little Yabba Creek offers further lush splendour and comfortable campsites, with both campsites accessible by conventional vehicles all year-round. There’s also a wealth of private camping options across the Sunshine Coast hinterland, like Kenilworth Bluff Creek Campground with its outstanding swimming holes and breathtaking mountain views and Cobb and Co Nine Mile Camping Grounds on Six Mile Creek at Tandur. 

For those holidaying with caravan in tow and looking for a comfortable Sunshine Coast caravan park, Ocean View Caravan and Tourist Park at Landsborough provides views all the way from Maroochydore to Bribie Island and is a top spot from which to explore the local area. Another great option whether you’re looking to unwind for a few days or just passing through is Lilyponds Holiday Park at Mapleton which offers caravan sites, camping and self-contained cabins in addition to a convenient location just 10 minutes inland from the Bruce Highway.  

Experience Sunshine Coast Farm Life  

For something a little different from the hotels and resorts stretching along the beautiful beaches of the Sunshine Coast, farm stays and cabin accommodation provide the opportunity to immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes that comprise this diverse part of the Sunshine State. Set amongst tranquil scenery, Noosa Avalon Farm Cottages offers five different accommodation options, including romantic getaways for two, while Mayan Farm offers a sustainable yet upmarket getaway nestled into 100 acres of working farmland along Kin Kin Creek. For family and group farm stays on the Sunshine Coast, Eumundi Dairy is perfect, with each self-contained property offering its own outlook, garden and access, ensuring privacy and a superlative getaway experience among gorgeous surrounds. And if you’re looking to escape to paradise without the kids in tow, you’ll be delighted to know that there are adults-only farm stays on the Sunshine Coast too, like Kookaburra Cabin, set on 17 acres near Palmwoods.
