Well provided camping facilities and lots of un/marked hiking trails in and around the National Park, which at times may be a challenge for the less experienced. An abundance of wild life that comfortablely dwells with the human presence.

Just stayed at Mt Barney lodge in one of the on-site camper vans, so comfy and well-equipped made camping so easy! The beautiful Mt Barney is awe-inspiring as it towers over the campground and birds and wildlife abound. The campground amenities are very clean and there's so much to do, choose as much or as little as you like. I loved the peace and watching the wildlife. Simply wonderful!

Ok. We have been at the Lodge before a few years ago and had a great experience. This time we thought we'd try the 'glamping' on site van and, yes you have to bring your own bed linen. This seems a bit much for the $150/night fee. We also knew we had to use the amenities block as well. No toilet in the camper. This also seems a bit much for the $150/night fee. Also, no heater (and it was cold-maybe around 4/5 C at night. Good thing we bought the doonah and blankets. Also a bit much for the $150/night fee. The camper van was OK but quite dated. It was set up really well and the views out the door (and at the site) were great. Mt Barney in all it's glory. The provisioning of the camper were adequate, but not special. Two non stick fry pans all scratched up but maybe because there was only a metal spatula to use. Cutlery OK, pots and saucepans a bit old and stained to some extent. Sugar, coffee, tea provided and that was nice. One of the burners was a bit dodgy and sometimes it worked and sometimes it just shut off. That was OK because the stovetop was quite small and you could only use two of the burners at a time due to size. Think this is pretty normal for these camper vans but a bit of a nuisance. There were two camper vans in the park and fairly close to each other. The first night we had no neighbours but the second night a crew of about eight rocked up and set up tents as well as the camper van. An adult with a bunch of teenagers. Noisy until about late evening and sitting around the fire yakking and singing. We came to listen to the birds and the creek. All in all not a bad experience but not a great one either. Think the price for the van is a bit much for what you get. They need to upgrade the cooking utensils and make them safe. A scratched up non-stick pan is not good. However, the campground and the views are pretty nice. …

The team at the Mount Barney Lodge were very friendly and the scenery was beautiful. The amenities there were great and the glamping trailer was well equiped. The guide that took me to the summit of mount Barney was very good and knew very well what she was doing.

I stayed here over night as part of an Intrepid Tour of the Scenic Rim and this night was the highlight of my entire journey. The lodging was a beautiful and well preserved Queenslander house, that enabled us to cook our own meals out under the stars. The owner also took us on a tour of the site, explained the history of the buildings, and then provided us with wine and cheese under the stars to finish it off. This has gone down as one of the greatest accommodation experiences I have ever had and I would highly recommend a stop at this place!

Loved our stay in Barney Camper trailer. It had everything we needed for a relaxing and energising stay. So great to have a hot shower at the end of the day. Such a beautiful environment to have the privilege of visiting. The lodge grounds are well maintained and the staff are all super friendly.

I did the navigation workshop 2 years ago. The skills I learned have acconpanied me since and enabled me to do many awesome off-track walks I would not have been able to do before. I did not expect to learn enough to safely and effectively navigate in one weekend course - but I did, regularly using it afterwards of course. Innes' traching was excellent, he was clearly very experienced and knowledgable and was very good at explaining navigational techniques in an easy-to-understand way. During the practice walk on day 2 we practiced everything in the field. He also gave instructions on how to continue, practice and apply what we learned - I did everything and have become competent and confident at navigating anywhere with map and compass since. The freedom of being able to go anywhere, independently and self-sufficiently, is incredibly rewarding amd satisfying! Doing this course has opened the door for me to have the best outdoor experiences of my life and has continued to make me happy since. I highly recommend the navigation workshop to anyone interested in outdoor activities, it is a great investment into long-term enjoyment!…
