Park track conditions

Park update 1st Feb

Bottom track still has a lot of water lying around so please use our top entry road when entering the park this weekend. A couple of muddy sections across the hill but shouldn't be too much of a problem. Providing we do not get any more of the heavy rain our blue tracks should be okay this weekend.  Remember wet tracks increase in difficulty and standard street tires could have difficulty. All camping grounds are open


Park update 20 January 2012

The park has not received the heavy rainfalls Brisbane and the Gold Coast have experienced this past week so it looks like a great time to get away and enjoy some 4x4.driving or a quiet weekend camping. We still have plenty of top camping spots available for Australia Day

 

Park update 2 June 

It was pleasing to see people using our repaired main entry road up over the hill rather than going through our neighbors private road.

Last weekend we even had a large caravan and a few tow car trailers entry the park through this road.

We have been notified of some confusion of signage on Swan Gully Road. Unfortunately all we can do is notify people if you wish to come to Scenic Rim Adventure Park you need to keep left on Swan Gully road and follow the information on the Scenic Rim 4x4 park signs. Yes there are two independent 4x4 parks off Swan Gully Road.

The past few holiday long weekends have been excellent gauges for our camping capacity throughout the park.  If you have a particular site you wish to camp on we suggest you place a booking for the site. We are taking bookings for the rest of the year and especially for the Christmas period.

Please note we have opened another four camping sites so our campsite numbers have changed. Check out our park maps

 

Park track update 19 May 2011

We have just finished repairing and regrading all original blue tracks, so again our map is correct for all blue runs on both the south and north ridges.

Home Road has also been upgraded to a single black down hill and double black up.

On the Northern side Liana's run and Relax drive have been repaired and we have tried to cut in some passing bays.

Melbren has changed from a black into a blue so standard cars can now continue straight up the hill.

Permission Hill is still very steep with a few difficult spots it is probably a double black down and red going up 

We tried to make the top section of Permission Hill into a blue track to join up with Stockers dead end if you travel down hill it should be okay but if you come up from Stockers dead end it will probably be black.

We have moved Campsite 17 and have tagged new area up on the north ridgeline where we would like to open up another play area. 

Campsite 18 is a new spot halfway down home road again with lovely views

We have also included a few changes in the play area

 

Park update 13 April 2011

Our main entry road, handbreak hill along with tour drive one and two have all been re-graded so all wheel drive cars can use these roads.
 
2x2 cars that can get over the cattle grid without scraping on Swan Gully road will be able to enter our park through the top entry road.
 
The lower entry road is our neighbours private road so please do not use that entry unless you are towing a caravan, large truck or motor home.
 
Unfortunately a lot of cars that should be driving on our top entry road have been using this private road and our neighbours are getting very upset to the point where they have said they will put a lock on their gate. We need this entry for emergency vehicles so please respect their privacy and use our entry road.
 
Easter camp bookings
Before setting up your campsites please check on the blackboard and see how many other people are booked into that site.
If you have not booked a site or set up camp on someone else's booked site you will be asked to move camp.
People have paid deposits for these sites so please show camp courtesy.

Park update 1st April

This is no April fools, Scenic Rim Adventure Park are pleased to announce, our entry roads have now been graded and you can get 4WD, AWD and 2WD along the top road.

As this grading has just been done, we do ask visitor not to drive on it whilst it is raining just to give it time to compact.

We have commenced grading tracks in the park also, to ensure that of easy tracks are easy.

Thanks for your patients.

 

Park update 25th March

Work will commence next week on the flood damage repairs

We hope all cars will again be able to enter by our own entry through the top road once the repairs are carried out.

The bottom road is our neighbor's private road and only to be used for emergency vehicles, service trucks, non off road caravans and motor homes. All other cars including car trailers are asked to use our entry road.

We have new maps and the campsite numbers have been changed.

We hope to open up two new sections of track and a new rock garden track beside campsite one later in the year

Due to the creek running into the catchment and the loss of our side tracks driving up the valley creek is not allowed.

If it is raining at the park the ridge line roads are closed till two hours of non rain and drivers must be aware the track difficulty increases.

We are now taking bookings for Easter $10 for 2x2 cars as you should be able to drive up to the ridge to enjoy the views again with the road repaired. Normal camp fee apply to 4x4 cars

 

Update 20 march 2011

Our main entry road still has four sections which need caution but 4x4 cars and campervans are managing this entry.

In past weeks we have had a buggy towed in on a car trailer all the way through and while he didn't sustain any damage we still recommend you off load the cars before coming down into the camping area.

All 4x4 cars must use this main entry into our park.

The lower private road entry is only to be used by caravans which are not built for off road. We suggest you park up at the farmers paddock and walk to check you feel confident of getting through the muddy section. There are still large washout ruts round the corner but they are passable if you take the right lines.

We do not recommend our water for drinking and suggest you bring sufficient drinking water for your stay.

Please note, we are open when wet, however the ridge lines are closed.  So you can only drive around the bottom and in the play ground.  Saturday 19 March had a steady flow of rain and tracks again became slippery.  So we ask drivers to drive with caution and if you are not a confident 4WD then suggest you come and visit us when the weather is fine.
