Camp Road

You'll discover why Camp Road has earned its reputation as a solid medium-difficulty introduction to off-road driving near Kingaham. This 1.4 km route delivers genuine 4WD challenges without overwhelming inexperienced drivers, making it perfect for those looking to build confidence on genuine terrain rather than manicured tracks.

The trail takes you through varied Queensland bushland with a mix of rocky outcrops, rutted sections, and sandy patches that will test your vehicle's traction and your line-choice decisions. You'll navigate around natural obstacles and through creek crossings that demand careful throttle control, though the 0% steep grade means you won't face dangerous descents. The landscape opens up periodically to reveal views of the surrounding country, rewarding your focus with some genuinely rewarding scenery.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle has decent ground clearance and all-terrain tyres in good condition—the rocky sections can be unforgiving on worn rubber. Check your fuel and carry water, as this area offers limited services. With an average completion time of just eight minutes, you can easily tackle Camp Road multiple times or combine it with nearby trails for a full day of exploration. The Newtracs app will help you locate the trailhead and track your progress, ensuring you make the most of this accessible yet challenging route.
