TheKinmel Camp Railway, otherwise known as theKinmel Park Railway,^[1] was a 3-mile (4.8 km) longstandard gaugerailway built to serve Kinmel Camp nearRhyl in northWales.

Kinmel Camp was a training camp opened by theBritish Army in 1915 to train soldiers during theFirst World War. It was connected to theLondon and North Western Railway line atForyd station by the short, steep branchline that formed the Kinmel Camp Railway. The KCR opened in 1915. Between 1916 and 1917 a branch was laid to avoid the steepest gradients at the camp terminus. By 1918 a connection had been added to theVale of Clwyd Railway's line fromRhyl toDenbigh.

After the end of the First World War, the line continued in use serving a quarry near the site of the camp at St. George. The railway continued in this capacity until it closed in 1964^[2] or February 1965, with the track being lifted two months later.^[1]
