4WD access in Brindabella National Park
Trails in Brindabella National Park can be extremely challenging in all weather conditions. Steep gradients, loose surfaces, and limited traction make access difficult in both wet and dry conditions.
Caution is advised if you are travelling to the following areas:
Access to both McIntyres and Lowells Flat Campground, requires a high-clearance 4WD vehicle with low-range capability, off-road tyres and a driver with 4WD experience.
There is very limited to no mobile phone reception in these areas to call for assistance. Recovery, if required, will be difficult and costly.
Trail closures may occur at short notice. Always check the NPWS website for updates before travelling.
Plan ahead and drive safely.
For further information, contact the NPWS Queanbeyan office on 02 6229 7166.
McIntyres campground is a picturesque, riverside campsite on the banks of the Goodradigbee River. Stop for a picnic under the shade of the eucalypts on your way to visit the historic McIntyres Hut, or stay overnight and enjoy the rugged beauty of this campsite.
After you’ve picked the best campsite among the eucalypts along the banks and river flats, it’s time to start exploring. Why not head off to the historic McIntryres Hut? Go for an easy walk to the river where you can do a spot of fishing and watch the birds darting across the rushing waters.
Or just find yourself a soft grassy patch to stretch out, relax and take in the fresh mountain air of this back-to-basics campground. The only thing to disturb the peace might be a resident kangaroo or wallaby as they move in to feed on the river flats at dusk.
