Barrington Tops National Park is in southeastern Australia, north of Sydney. A vast area characterised by rainforest and subalpine woodland, it’s home to wildlife such as wallabies and lyrebirds. Trails like the Aeroplane Hill, Sharpes Creek and Gloucester Falls tracks crisscross the park. Careys Peak and Devils Hole lookouts offer sweeping views. The Ladies Well swimming hole is near the Allyn River.

Nov 2016 Gloucester Tops- what a disappointment. The walks were pleasant enough but lacked the good NP signage. The Gloucester falls could be heard but not seen but the other lookout was fantastic (a sign here would have been useful). We suggest you get in quick as the once pristine beech forests appear to be suffering die-back (we suspect Phytophthora cinnamomi). Will the park be closed to try to prevent it spreading?

The website states 'Pick your spot beside the flowing river and set up your campsite among the trees' which is blatantly incorrect as these spots were clearly designated for picnics. At $12/head/night we headed to Gloucester for the night with a boot...

$12 per adult per night. $6 per...

Did a drive through 2 days ago. What an amazing place. Camping sites look excellent and all that we stopped at were nice and clean with excellent facilities. The campers we spoke to were all very happy with their sites and the park in general. Everything is well signposted but nevertheless don't go into the park without some form of map that you know how to read or operate well. A group of people approached us who were lost trying to find their booked campsite as all they had was a small out of scale map from a brochure. Bottom line lovely park. Heaps to see and do but do your research and...
