Discover Sandy Creek

Cedarvale Park in Sandy Creek offers a campground with bookable camping sites. The stay includes sites without power, hot showers and flush toilets. Rock pools for wading and the wildlife on the grounds add to the practical considerations. The park is off-grid; there is no phone reception until you are close to the town of Kilcoy.

The property’s name and history

In November 2021, Cedarvale Park was renamed when Isaac and Tammy Burton bought the 520-acre property. The name change marks a specific turning point in the property’s history. For visitors, this background puts the name into context; it sits alongside the campground’s current offering of bookable sites.

Power and phone reception

The park is entirely off-grid, and all camping sites have no power. If you need to power devices directly at your site, check this condition against your needs before booking. The lack of power access applies to every site, so it is relevant when deciding whether to choose the campground at all, not just when selecting an individual site.

Phone reception is another separate planning factor: there is no reception until you are close to the town of Kilcoy. If you rely on phone calls during your stay or need to remain reachable, take this limitation into account when planning. If you need to make arrangements, it may help to consider what needs to be sorted out before your stay rather than assuming you will have an ongoing phone connection. Check reception conditions before you travel.

Bathroom facilities

Facilities include hot showers and flush toilets. These address different needs from having power at your site. When choosing, you can therefore consider separately what power supply you need at your site and which bathroom facilities are important to you. This lets you weigh power access and bathroom facilities independently, rather than treating them as a single amenities question.

Rock pools and wildlife

Guests at Cedarvale Park can wade in the park’s rock pools. This is a specific activity and a different aspect of the choice from power supply or bathroom facilities. If you want to consider an activity in the park as well as practical camping conditions, wading in the rock pools is one option to keep in mind.

Wallabies, red deer and king parrots live on the grounds. The animals’ presence can vary, so you cannot plan on a particular sighting. Alongside the rock pools, the wildlife is another nature-related feature, but one that is less predictable: wading is an activity for guests, while individual wildlife sightings depend on the animals’ changing presence.
