For bloon of the same name in Bloons 2, see Camouflage Bloon.
A Camo bloon is coming next level. Camo bloons cannot be targeted by towers that cannot detect them. Use spikes if you need.
~ Round 24 in Bloons TD 4
You're about to attack the first area that has Camo Bloons in it. You should hold off attacking this tile until you're ready. A Centre Of Camo Countermeasures is required for most Monkey upgrades that can detect Camo Bloons.
~ Bloons Monkey City when the player is attacking a tile with Camo Bloons for the first time
Camo Bloons are very dangerous since most Towers cannot hit them. Any Bloon type can be a Camo, and so will all the Bloons that come out of that one. They can only be hit by Towers that can detect Camo Bloons, such as the Ninja Monkey. In an emergency, use Road Spikes to pop them.
~ Bloons TD 5 Description of Camo Bloons

The Camo Bloon is a bloon that made its debut in Bloons TD 4. Its RBE is 11 (the game says it's 9, but it actually takes 11 hits to pop). They move at around the same speed as the Blue Bloon.

In BTD4, they are a type of Bloon which contain 2 Pink Bloons, making them about the same level of parenthood as the White Bloon and Black Bloon.

In BTD5, Camo becomes a property of bloon along with Regrowth, meaning any bloon from a Red Bloon to a Ceramic Bloon can acquire Camo properties. MOAB-class bloons cannot be camos, nor can their children (though the D.D.T. is an exception along with bloons sent in BTDB Flash). They cannot be targeted by most towers. However, there are upgrades that can make surrounding towers and/or themselves able to see them, such as Sonar Beacon and Crow's Nest. Camo bloons first appear on round 24 in both BTD4 and BTD5.

Camo Detection

Camo Bloons can only be detected by some monkeys, usually requiring some upgrades or a nearby tower that gives them that ability. It is necessary in both BTD4 and BTD5.

Camo Detection in Bloons TD 4

If another tower targets a Bloon and a Camo Bloon gets in the way, the Camo Bloon will be popped. If a tower with piercing projectiles targets a Bloon in front of a Camo Bloon, both will be popped. Usually, all you need is one set of Road Spikes or a Pineapple to set off a chain reaction. Camo RBE: 11 (BTD4), same speed as a red.

The following towers and upgrades allow the tower and/or nearby towers to detect Camo Bloons:

Tower Upgrade Notes
Monkey Beacon Sonar Beacon (Upgrade #3) Allows detection to all nearby towers. The Monkey Storm Beacon destroys all bloons including camo bloons.
Monkey Ace No upgrade required Spy Plane (Upgrade #2) allows all towers near the ace to detect Camo Bloons.
Monkey Buccaneer Crow's Nest (Upgrade #2) Allows detection to all towers within its range (including itself).
Monkey Apprentice Crystal Ball (Premium Upgrade) Crystal Ball costs CoinsIcon10 and also increases the Monkey Apprentice's attack range in addition to allowing Camo detection.
Dartling Gun No upgrade required Can pop camos anywhere unupgraded.
Spike Factory No upgrade required Pops any bloons (except for leads when it doesn't have the 3rd upgrade) that run over its spikes on the track.
Road Spikes N/A Pops any bloons, except for leads, that run over the spikes on the track. One pile in BTD4 will pop all of the camo, even though its RBE is 11, and spikes do 10 damage.
Pineapple N/A Pops any bloons, including Camo, that get caught in blast radius. 1 damage only.

Camo Detection in Bloons TD 5

In BTD5, Camo becomes a Bloon property: therefore their RBE can be from 1 to 104 unlike in BTD4. If a tower cannot see camo bloons, its projectiles will go straight through them without doing any damage to them. A camo bloon can also be Regrowth at the same time.

The following towers and upgrades allow the tower and/or nearby towers to detect and also target Camo Bloons:
