Campbell Road

Campbell Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a rewarding medium-difficulty drive through Tasmania's scenic backcountry near West Takone. You'll navigate a well-maintained 4.0 km route that delivers genuine off-road experience without excessive technical demands, making it ideal for drivers looking to build confidence or enjoy a quick adventure. The terrain features a mix of compacted track and light rocky sections that keep you engaged throughout the 17-minute run.

As you progress along Campbell Road, you'll experience the natural beauty of the West Takone region, with native bushland framing your route and occasional clearings offering glimpses of the surrounding landscape. The trail's lack of steep grades means you can focus on line selection and vehicle handling rather than extreme angles, though rocky patches demand steady throttle control and decent ground clearance. Weather conditions significantly impact track quality here—recent rain can create muddy sections that increase difficulty, so checking conditions before departure is essential.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle has adequate fuel and basic recovery equipment. Standard 4WD capability is sufficient, though quality all-terrain tyres are recommended for the rocky sections. The trail's popularity on Newtracs means you'll have confidence knowing three other vehicles have completed it successfully, and tracking your own drive on the app helps you monitor your performance against this benchmark route.
