This is one of the best places on the planet. I have been a number of times and it’s always hard to leave but easy to come back. We done the navigation course on the weekend and it’s completely changed my world. Thanks Innes for your amazing hospitality, passing on some of your skills and knowledge of the area, I dearly appreciate it ✅✅✅ Iain W 😉

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.

The staff were amazing! They went above and beyond even replacing my tyre that had a puncture. The scenery was stunning and I highly recommend a stay and in particular they mother daughter camp. I can’t wait to go back to Mt Barney lodge camp grounds!

The Booloomoola Queenslander home we stayed in was beautiful. Perfectly clean. Views and wildlife were incredible. True serenity. Lovely little creek walks and national park/ Mt Barney hike not far at all

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!

This was such a spectacular place to have my first (adult) camping experience. I braved the cold and took my 15 y.o. son and his mate for 3 days. It was the best decision. The boys explored freely, they did the Mt Gillies scramble with the guide and had such an incredible time. I forgot pretty much all the essentials including tent pegs, plates and cutlery....they new me very well by the time our trip ended - however the team were so supportive and helpful, they gave great advice and lent me all the bits I left on the kitchen bench at home. I was nervous going there, but now have a new found confidence that I can camp and explore the world! We are definitely coming back. So many more adventures to be had at Mt Barney Lodge. Thanks team for making our trip so incredible.

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.

Awesome for families, cabins are great with everything you could need for a comfortable weekend away. The little creek that runs through is the perfect swimming hole. Lots of wildlife and perfect view of Mt Barney
