Kinkuna National Park is the Kinkuna Section of the larger Burrum Coast National Park. Overlooking a 10-kilometre stretch of beach, with bush camping behind the fragile foredunes.
National parks are often developed to make it accessible to all vehicles, even ensuring there is bitumen road. Kinkuna is remote and raw, accessible by high-clearance 4WD vehicles.
The road to the entrance, where a sheltered information board is beside the road, is accessible to most vehicles. Shortly afterwards, it quickly becomes obvious it is accessed by 4WD only. The road is uneven and after rain is full of waterholes, although the waterholes are shallow enough for a 4WD. Once you are passed the harder track surfaces, the track becomes narrow with soft sand. Once you reach the camping spots above the beach, it is only soft sand.
There are two camping areas marked on the national parks map for Kinkuna camping zones. On Google Maps, it shows them as the north and south areas. The entire stretch, for nearly 3 kilometres, is the entire camping zone with no marked sites.
Find somewhere off the track so vehicles can pass you and you are good to go. While there is no vehicle pass required to go to Kinkuna section, there are Queensland Parks Camping Fees.
Along the upper foreshore are several beach access tracks. These are soft sand and depending on the weather could become tricky to get back up from, so be sensible if you decided to drive along the lower foreshore.
A day use area is available towards the south end, accessed along Theodolite Creek Track. It leads to Theodolite Creek day-use area, located on the northern side of Theodolite Creek, opposite the Theodolite Creek area accessed from Woodgate.
Where Theodolite Creek track starts, the Beach Road track will take you through to Woodgate Road, an alternative access point into Kinkuna.
