Camp Mt - Bellbird Grove

There are two main ways up to the Camp Mt summit on dirt and both are very challenging climbs.

The shorter ride starts at the top of McLeans Rd and is exactly 1.2 k's long finishing at the picnic grounds. This is an intense and very steep fireroad, that will test the strength of any rider.

The longer way up starts within a few metres from the shorter way but it meanders around the side towards Bellbird Grove before starting a 2 km climb that has a couple of descents before also culminating in a very tough 1 km climb ending at the towers on the bitumen rd going up Camp Mt from Mt Nebo Rd. Like the shorter way, this climb will push most riders very hard indeed.

Essentials

Address: Located in Brisbane Forest Park, this is a very steep area Travel up Mt Nebo Rd a few kilometres past the BFP HQ and you'll see the Bellbird Grove turn off (Red x on map) signs. A few kilometres on and you can turn down into the Camp Mountain Rec area (Blue X on map) if you want to start from the top of Camp Mt as opposed to at the bottom at Bellbird Grove. It's also possible to ride the firetrails over to (or from) Ironbark Gully at Ferny Hills with only a few kilometres on tarmac. There's no singletrack here to speak of but if you like fire trails then you can ride through to the Samford Valley, or up Camp Mt via one of two steep climbs, or even down towards Gap Creek through BFP.
