Heggies Hill Bush Camp

Nestled amongst the stunning landscapes of the Southern Flinders Ranges, our bush camp and Canoee’s Realm glamping offer breathtaking views and an immersive experience in native Australian flora and fauna. Enjoy the tranquility of private campsites, each equipped with a fire pit (seasonal) and access to non-potable water, along with the convenience of two full flush toilets. 

Ideally located as a hub for exploring the Mid North, you can set off on scenic day trips and return to camp for a sunset dinner by the fire. For those wanting a night off from cooking, the historic Tarcowie Pub is just five minutes down the road, serving cold beers and hearty meals. Whether you’re spotting wildlife at dawn or relaxing under a star-filled sky, this is the perfect escape for nature lovers seeking adventure and tranquility. 

Bush campers should come prepared to be self-sufficient. While toilets and non-potable water are available, there are no shower facilities or drinking water provided. However, glampers at Canoee's Realm can enjoy full amenities for a more comfortable stay.
