Mt Barney Lodge Country Retreat

The drive through the Scenic Rim was spectacular with mountain views at every turn. We were welcomed by Innes, such a happy chappy and owner of the retreat. We found the campground spacious and peaceful. Designated firerings are dotted throughout the grassy campsites. We jagged a spot with views of two mountains. Wallabies abounded throughout the retreat. The babbling creek was a perfect spot to cool off after long days hiking.

We had a great weekend at Mt Barney Lodge, despite the rain. Tracey looked after us well, and we enjoyed participating in the Great Toad bust and frog id night walk. The facilities are clean and well kept, with a commitment to sustainability. We started off camping, but due to a tent malfunction ended up in one of the cabins, which was very comfortable. The weekend was very relaxing and I enjoyed watching the wildlife. Would recommend either camping or the cabins.

We spent a wonderful week at Mt Barney Lodge with friends over Christmas. The campgrounds are great with a local flowing river with many spots to keep everyone happy. The kids were so happy being able to wander off to the deeper swimming spot and we adults were happy staying closer to camp in one of the many shaded spots in the river. I recommend this place to anyone prepared to camp with a solar setup. The small facilities were always clean and hygienic. Bins were provided along with a bin for recycling food scraps. There were also ample taps to refill water. We hope to back soon. Last but not least the owners were very friendly and accomodating.

This was the most relaxing and beautiful 3 days I have spent for a long time. Went for a painting retreat with "Earth Stories" very peaceful and the food that Innes prepared was a mixture of Margaret Fulton & Maggie Beer. Tremendous. Only 90 minutes from Brisbane

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.
