10. Gorgeous campground that sells farm produce
As tents are not provided on the campsite, remember to pack your own tent to bring along to the Hidden Valley campground. Situated in Gro Mad Plantations and located in the beautiful Maroochy River valley, there is no short of rainforest trees and wildlife around. Along with friendly hosts, and occasional kangaroos and emus saying a quick hi as they pass by, the best part of it all may just be the availability of hot showers for guests.
