This property is a portion of a large working farm. We have cattle, sheep, cropping, and horses. The property is approx 12,000 acres with amazing ranges that sometimes see snow in winter. Tent, Swag or Campervan at Heyson base camp. Enjoy the lovely Gum lined Dry Creek with blue stone ruins of times gone by. Enjoy a short hike to the Wind Turbines and see up close how magnificent these green energy windmills work. Or enjoy a hike along the famous Heyson Trail at the top of the range. See the stars in all their glory whilst cuddling up in front of the camp fire. Wake up to grazing cattle, sheep and wildlife on a beautiful working farm. The campsite is nestled amongst beautiful old gums and pine with sweeping views of the valley in front and a gorgeous range out the back. Plenty of Shade and places to explore. Dogs on Lead only. Host approval required at booking. Pit toilet available, BYO toilet paper. Bin provided for waste. Please use this or take it home with you. There are livestock on the property, please do not approach livestock unless Host is with you. Just a short drive of 30 minutes to the town of Burra you can enjoy the Passport Key and see the rich heritage of the copper mining era. Jamestown is 25 minutes drive where you can explore the bundaleer forest or see the tesla battery.

Site 4 - Heysen Base Camp
Site 4 is very spacious, on a slight slant but manageable, plenty of shade and a short walk to the toilet. Long drop is the cleanest I’ve ever seen, very well maintained. The campsite is surrounded by many beautiful views and is very peaceful.

We really enjoyed Tracey’s camp. The camps are relatively spaced out divided by trees to maintain some privacy. Easy to find following the directions provided. Would stay again

Site 10 - Heysen Base Camp
Happy Campers
Our friends and us loved camping on site 10 and 11 at Heysen Base Camp. We had a relaxing Easter Weekend and enjoyed the most beautiful view and a night sky filled with stars. It was peaceful and we rested. It was our second time camping here, and we won't mind doing it again.

Nice quiet spot with plenty of options to park a van. Nice view of the hills at sunset.

Site 5 - Heysen Base Camp
Greta views, but can get very windy
The place itself is OK. Literally nothing more than a piece of land in the middle of nowhere, so can feel very isolated. The host was kind enough to leave firewood (thanks!) but the place is soooo windy it can be dangerous, especially at night. It happened to us and didn't get a good sleep. Of course not the host's fault, but be aware of it. There's great phone reception with Optus.
