Birdsville Track with an off-road caravan
The Birdsville Track runs 519 km from Marree to Birdsville. With a 4WD towing an off-road caravan, you're looking at 8 h 45 min behind the wheel. About 513 km of it is unsealed.
We planned it on Motocamp's own router for a 4WD towing an off-road caravan, at the size in the table below, so every number here comes from a real plan, not a guess.
The stops: Marree · Birdsville
Is the Birdsville Track OK for a 4WD towing an off-road caravan?
Yes, on our plan. It gets through for a 4WD towing an off-road caravan without using a road signed too low, too short or closed to caravans. Here's what to keep an eye on.
- 513 km unsealed, the longest stretch 513 km on Birdsville Track, from km 1.
- No long climbs: the steepest kilometre is about 1%.
- The longest run with no fuel station on our map is 314 km, from km 204. Fill up before it.
- Road reports change daily out here. Motocamp checks Queensland Transport and Main Roads, SA Department for Infrastructure and Transport and Traffic SA for the day you travel.

Tell Motocamp what you drive, from an enduro bike to a 25-foot off-road caravan or a 10-metre motorhome, and it plans this trip for that vehicle: the roads it fits, the low bridges and closed roads to steer clear of, and places to stay on the way. The maps keep working where there's no signal.
