Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.
Please note their is a current ban on fishing in Yabba Creek and surrounding creeks from 01 August until 31 October 2024 due to the Mary River Cod breeding season. You can still fish at nearby Lake Borumba. Check for required permits. Please notify us if you are camping with other campers who have booked a separate site so we can have you camping beside each other. During busy times, most weekend bookings are a minimum of 2 nights with 1 night bookings during the week, however occasionally we will have 1 night bookings on weekends. Check with your host to see availability on 1 night bookings. Kayaks are provided free of charge for all campers to use in Yabba Creek. Please treat them respectfully and return them back to their launching place just below the powerlines. If you wish to bring along your own kayak, you can launch them at the walkway between campsite 8 and 9 where our camp kayaks are stored, however, cars are restricted from driving down to the water edge so you will have to carry them to the water to launch them. Please note that you are responsible for your own kayak. All campsites run parallel too the creek and are situated on the upper bank of Yabba Creek. Some have creek views, the other sites have trees between the creek and their site. All have mountain views. The main access to the creek is half way along the campground between site 8 and 9. Please do not leave your car parked in the walkway as this will block the entrance to campsite 9. Unfortunately, we lost many of our creek access points due to flooding. Our property is situated between Imbil and Lake Borumba on the beautiful Yabba Creek. We have 110 acres, with campsites on 20 acres. We have 1km of creek frontage. The creek offers fishing, swimming and kayaking. If you're lucky you'll spot the platypus in the creek and there's lots of birdlife around so bring your cameras! Kayaks are supplied free for all campers to use. We just ask that you treat them with respect and return them back to their launching place once you have finished with them. It would pay to pack your reef walkers as the river is rocky in spots. There is lots of space for motorhomes and large camping vehicles to maneuver and park. Plenty of flat spots for your tent or vehicle. This campsite has access to flushing toilets (toilets are situated approx. 400m from the camp sites) and water (rainwater), but you will need to bring your own camping shower. Campfires are permitted outside of fire-ban season (please use the existing firepits). Firewood is available and can be delivered to your site by our local contractor. Cost is $20 for a generous load or $10 for a half load. The property features a gorgeous rainforest with a walking track that you can follow safely, and you can also access the state forest next door if you're up for a bigger adventure. Lake Borumba is just down the road which permits water skiing, boating, fishing and other water recreation. The town ship of Imbil is only 7 minutes away where you can visit the many cafes, bakeries, The Imbil pub, Sunday markets, Produce and hardware store, supermarket, butcher, clothing shops, hairdresser, fishing supplies, Petrol station, post office and more. We are a working cattle and horse property but we do allow pets, however pet owners will need to abide by the rules as set out under the Rules and Safety "Pets" section. Please note that there is a rifle range within hearing distance from Maluka Park and campers may at times on weekends hear gunshots. This generally only goes for a few hours.Our property is situated between Imbil and Lake Borumba on the beautiful Yabba Creek.  We have 110 acres, with campsites on 40 acres. We have 1km of creek frontage. The creek has ample room for fishing, swimming and even kayaking.

Beautiful spot. Large river-front sites. Hosts are lovely. Firewood is great value - don't make the mistake of bringing your own. Toilet block clean and accessible. I took three 10 year old boys and they loved it. Spent the day exploring the river and the plentiful kayaks. The best spot we have been in the Maleny/Kenilworth area.

Rainforest river serenity
Such a beautiful, thoughtfully laid out and well organised campsite! Huge private sites right on the river next to pristine rainforest - the kayaks free to borrow definitely a highlight for my dog! And cool handmade fire pits that I wish were for sale!

Picturesque, large, flat sites
Brian and Jeanna are very warm and welcoming and their property is beautiful and relaxing. Lovely large campsites right on the water with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the expansive green grass. The dogs had a great time too. Thank you, we will be back!

Beautiful camp ground with lovely view. Kids loved the kayaks and river for swimming in. Very clean toilets and was great seeing the cows and horses when walking there. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back

Great spot for the kids and dog
Great spot on Yabba Creek just outside Imbil. Firepits for all sites. We had site 9 which was very secluded. We could not hear or see anyone else. The river was low in Sep but I imagine middle of summer and Easter would be a good flow happening and fishing would be permitted then also. Easy to book and the hosts were very pleasant and helpful. Plenty of space to play with the kids and the dog.
