Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Mount Barney National Park adventure.
With mountain climbs, rainforest trails, and bush camping, this is a spot for intrepid hikers.
If you’re looking to escape the beaten track, the wild landscapes of Mount Barney National Park provide plenty of opportunities. Follow bushwalking trails into the heart of the rainforest, venture out along little-visited tracks, and camp out at remote bush campsites miles away from civilization. Fancy a challenge? The park has seven mountains, including the 1,359-metre Mount Barney, and summit climbs are a daring feat for experienced hikers. Scramble up rocky cliffs, pass along narrow ridges, and tackle steep uphill climbs. For seasoned mountaineers, this is also a popular spot for rock climbing and abseiling.
The weather is notoriously changeable at Mount Barney, so come prepared whenever you visit. April to September provides the most pleasant weather for hiking, although you’ll need to wrap up warm at night. Summer (December through February) temperatures can reach up to 40°C, especially on exposed ridges. Pack a raincoat if visiting between November and March, as thunderstorms are common at the end of a sunny day.
