Camp Mountain Track

You'll discover an exhilarating challenge near Camp Mountain that demands respect and precision from 4WD drivers. This 1.1 km track punches well above its weight, featuring a formidable 23% grade that will test your vehicle's climbing ability and your nerves in equal measure. The steep terrain transforms this short route into a genuine technical undertaking—don't let the compact distance fool you into complacency.

As you tackle the ascent, you'll encounter rugged Queensland bushland with rocky outcrops and unforgiving gradient changes. The narrow track requires careful line selection and smooth throttle control to maintain momentum without losing traction. Vegetation encroaches on both sides, so visibility is limited and recovery options are minimal if things go wrong. You should approach this trail with low-range transmission engaged and your vehicle in peak mechanical condition.

Before attempting Camp Mountain Track, ensure your 4WD has quality off-road tires with aggressive tread patterns and suspension capable of handling severe angles. Bring a recovery kit, extra fuel, and consider going with other vehicles—this isn't a route to tackle solo. The unrated status means limited trail data exists; you'll be among the first to document your experience. Track your performance with the Newtracs app to help future drivers prepare for this demanding Queensland gem.
