Camping in the Sunshine Coast
64 campgrounds · 11 with powered sites · 1 with showers · 8 with a dump point · 9 with tent sites
The Sunshine Coast, about 100 km north of Brisbane, gives you beach parks along the coast, creek camps in the hinterland ranges, and beach driving up in Cooloola. The Glass House Mountains, a group of old volcanic peaks, rise south-west of Caloundra, and the Cooloola section of Great Sandy National Park covers 184,000 hectares of coast between Noosa and Rainbow Beach.
Where is the best place to camp in the Sunshine Coast?
On the coast, holiday parks such as Mooloolaba Beach Holiday Park are close to the sand from Caloundra to Coolum. Across the river from Noosa, Noosa North Shore Beach Campground is the start of the Cooloola coast, where the Teewah Beach camping zones need a vehicle permit. In the hinterland, Conondale National Park has creek camps such as Booloumba Creek near Kenilworth.
What is there to do in the Sunshine Coast with kids?
Near Beerwah, Australia Zoo is a short drive from the Landsborough camps, and the Queensland Air Museum is at Caloundra West. At Tin Can Bay, wild humpback dolphins often come to the Norman Point boat ramp early in the morning for supervised feeding. From Gympie, a gold town since 1867, the Mary Valley Rattler steam train runs out to Amamoor, and the Gold Mining and Historical Museum is at Monkland.

What are the best walks and waterfalls in the Sunshine Coast?
In the hinterland, Kondalilla National Park has a swimming hole at the top of Kondalilla Falls and a 1.7 km Picnic Creek Circuit, Mapleton Falls is nearby, and Conondale has Booloumba Creek Falls. Up the coast, Rainbow Beach's sand dunes get their colours from minerals like rutile and zircon, Double Island Point has an 1884 lighthouse, and the five-day Cooloola Great Walk starts on the edge of Rainbow Beach.
Do you need to book campsites in the Sunshine Coast?
Beach driving and camping in Cooloola need a vehicle permit from Queensland Parks, and there are fines for feeding dingoes or leaving food out.
Are there powered sites in the Sunshine Coast?
Yes. 11 campgrounds here have powered sites confirmed, including Noosa North Shore Beach Campground, Eumundi Showgrounds Stopover and Alex Beach Cabins and Tourist Park. For the rest we are still confirming, so check with the park or holiday park before you book a powered site.
How far is Rainbow Beach from Brisbane?
Rainbow Beach is about 241 km north of Brisbane and 75 km from Gympie, and from there a vehicle ferry runs to the southern tip of K'gari. Maroochydore is about 104 km from Brisbane, Tin Can Bay about 220 km and Gympie about 171 km.
