If you’re chasing a camping escape that blends stunning natural surrounds with just the right amount of adventure, look no further than The Steps Barrington Campground. Nestled on the banks of the Barrington River in New South Wales, this hidden gem has quickly become a favourite getaway for the team at Cub Campers, and it’s easy to see why.
Where Comfort Meets the Call of the Wild
Located just over 3 hours from Sydney and only 1.5 hours from Newcastle, The Steps Barrington offers an ideal escape from the daily grind without venturing too far from home. Whether you’re towing a Cub Camper trailer or setting up a tent, the campground caters to all kinds of outdoor adventurers — from first-timers to seasoned bush campers.
The wide, grassy campsites are perfect for camper trailers and caravans, with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the tranquillity. The property is family-friendly and pet-friendly, making it the perfect place for a weekend with the kids — or your four-legged mate.
Riverfront Relaxation and Adventure
One of the standout features of The Steps is its crystal-clear stretch of the Barrington River, which flows right alongside the campground. Whether you’re up for a paddle in a kayak, a spot of freshwater fishing, or just want to float along in an inflatable tube, the river offers countless ways to cool off and connect with nature.
If you’re keen to stretch your legs, there are numerous bushwalking trails nearby, with chances to spot native wildlife like wallabies, kookaburras, and the occasional goanna. The area’s scenic beauty and peaceful vibe have made it a favourite escape for Cub Campers staff, many of whom return regularly to unwind and test out their latest camper trailer setups in real-world conditions.
Barrington Bike Park – Fun for the Kids (and Grown-Ups!)
Right next door to the campground, you’ll find the Barrington Bike Park — an exciting addition that’s perfect for kids (and adventurous adults!). Purpose-built for mountain biking enthusiasts of all levels, this park offers a mix of flowy trails, jumps, berms, and technical features designed to challenge and entertain.
For families with kids who love their bikes, it’s a dream come true. There’s a beginner-friendly pump track, as well as more advanced trails for riders looking to push their skills. All trails are set amongst the natural bushland, adding to the sense of adventure while keeping things safe and well-managed.
It’s a great way to keep the kids entertained while you kick back at camp — or better yet, join in on the fun and make it a family activity. With bike hire available on-site and trails maintained to a high standard, Barrington Bike Park adds another layer of excitement to your stay at The Steps.
