If you're coming from the Gold Coast, allow around two hours by car.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EHow hard is the Lower Portals walk?\u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Lower Portals track is a challenging 7.4km return walk, with moderate to steep sections, rocky terrain and creek crossings along the way. It's best tackled by confident hikers with a good level of fitness. Allow around three hours return, plus extra time if you're planning a swim or picnic at the rock pools.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003ECan you climb Mount Barney?\u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EYes, but this isn't your average bushwalk. Mount Barney's summit routes are unmarked and undefined, with very steep rocky sections, scrambling and climbing, so they're only suitable for very experienced hikers with a high level of fitness and strong navigation skills.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003ECan you swim in Mount Barney National Park?\u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EYes. Lower Portals is one of the park's most popular places for a dip, with a clear pool tucked between granite boulders on Mount Barney Creek. Swimming is at your own risk and the waterhole isn't suitable for young children, so take care around slippery rocks and always check conditions before getting in.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003ECan you camp in Mount Barney National Park?\u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EYes, but don't expect a drive-in campground. The national park has around 20 remote bush camping areas, all reached on foot and with no facilities. You'll need to be self-sufficient, book a camping permit and pay the nightly camping fee. For car-access camping, cabins and more creature comforts, Mount Barney Lodge sits just outside the national park.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EHow long should I spend at Mount Barney National Park?\u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAllow at least half a day for walks such as Lower Portals, or make a full day of it with a swim and picnic thrown in. Tackling one of Mount Barney's summit routes? You'll need a full day, while an overnight stay lets you slow things down and explore more of the surrounding Scenic Rim.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EIs Mount Barney National Park suitable for families?\u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EYes, but choose your adventure carefully. Families with confident young walkers can tackle options such as Lower Portals, while Mount Barney's challenging summit routes aren’t suitable for inexperienced hikers and young children. Mount Barney Lodge is another great family base, with nature-based kids' activities and easy access to the Logan River.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n","readMoreHeight":0,"richText":true,":type":"teq/components/editorial/editorial-description"},"spacer_2107517140":{"spacerType":"whitespace","paddingSize":"medium",":type":"teq/components/spacer"},"masonry_grid_article":{"title":"Explore more of the Scenic Rim","layoutVariation":"standardWidth","notch":false,"clipTopPadding":false,"componentID":"masonry-grid-articles_2131738153","items":[{"title":"","description":"","image":{"src":"","alt":"","link":null,"quality":60.0},"tag":{"colour":"#365ABD","text":""},"link":{"href":"https://www.queensland.com/in/en/places-to-see/destinations/brisbane/guide-to-the-scenic-rim","target":""},"pid":"_content_teq_in_en_places-to-see_destinations_brisbane_guide-to-the-scenic-rim","date":null,"experience":null},{"title":"Sweet dreams: the best of Scenic Rim accommodation","description":null,"image":{"src":"/content/dam/teq/consumer/global/images/destinations/gold-coast/blog-images/editorial-hero-banner/2021_GC_BinnaBurraLodge_CountryLife_HotelMiami_147607.jpg","alt":"Binna Burra Lodge | scenic rim accommodation","link":null,"quality":60.0},"tag":{"colour":"#ff4eff","text":"List"},"link":{"href":"https://www.queensland.com/in/en/plan-your-holiday/accommodation/scenic-rim-accommodation","target":""},"pid":"_content_teq_in_en_plan-your-holiday_accommodation_scenic-rim-accommodation","date":null,"experience":{"editorialContentType":["List"],"pathToPurchase":["Planning"],"heroExperience":["Country Life","Natural Landscapes"],"subExperience":["Cottages and Cabins","Eco-friendly","Resorts and Retreats"],"brand":["Environment"],"destination":["Brisbane","Gold Coast"],"segment":["HVT Travelling with children","HVT 18 -
