Campbells Track

Campbells Track offers 4WD enthusiasts an intriguing exploration opportunity in the remote Teviot Valley region of Otago, where you'll discover relatively uncharted terrain that rewards adventurous drivers willing to venture off the beaten path. This compact 1.8 km route presents a manageable challenge with its modest 4% grade, making it accessible for intermediate drivers seeking to test their vehicles on authentic backcountry roads without extreme technical demands.

As you traverse Campbells Track, you'll experience the rugged beauty characteristic of Central Otago's high country landscape. The terrain combines gentle slopes with natural obstacles that keep the driving engaging, while the surrounding valley vistas provide a scenic backdrop to your journey. The relatively short length makes this an ideal addition to a broader exploration of the region, allowing you to cover multiple tracks in a single outing.

Before heading out, ensure your 4WD is in good working order and carry essential recovery gear—while the gradient is modest, remote locations demand self-sufficiency. Given that this track remains largely unexplored on Newtracs, you'll be helping map the route for future adventurers. Bring detailed maps, check weather conditions, and consider visiting during drier periods when ground conditions are optimal. This is genuine backcountry driving where preparation and caution are essential.
