    Diamond Head Road - changed conditions and scheduled works

    8 September 2026 update:

    • Diamond Head Road, from the northern (Dunbogan) entry point to Kylies Beach campground, was graded in mid-July.
    • Diamond Head Road, to the south of Kylies Beach campground leading to Coralville Road, was graded in early-August.
    • Crowdy Bay Road, between Coralville and Crowdy Head Road, was graded in late-August.
    • The next round of grading is anticipated to occur in late November/early December.

    Diamond Head, Indian Head, and Kylies Beach campgrounds, and the Diamond Head walking tracks, are currently best accessed using Diamond Head Road from the northern park entry point via Laurieton/Dunbogan to minimise the length of driving on gravel roads.

    Crowdy Gap campground is best accessed using Crowdy Bay Road from the southern park entry point via Harrington to minimise the length of driving on gravel roads.

About

Set on the western side of Diamond Head, Indian Head campground is a relaxed place to pitch a tent before your explorations of Crowdy Bay National Park begin. When your base camp's established, it's time to decide on your first adventure. A couple of the park's walking tracks leave from the campground, including the scenic Forest walk and the longer Diamond Head Loop walk.

The beach is not far from the campground and is a great place for a spot of beach cricket or football. You might even see some of the park's birdlife, like jabirus and pied oystercatchers. Of an evening, you can hear the crash of the ocean and if you are lucky, you might see some of the park's kangaroos at dusk.
