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 5 - Heysen Base Camp
Overall directions were easy to follow, sites were close together so was really glad we were the only ones there. Fine for a quick overnighter.

A lovely spot, but some of the camp sites are quite close together if there were lots of people there at the same time. Good toilet

We absolutely loved our stay here on this beautiful property! Tracy was so accommodating letting us move across to another site, the views were amazing and we were able to have free rein exploring and hiking the hills on the property. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will definitely be back!

Really enjoyed our stay at camp 4. The views are fantastic. Great place to relax by the fire or in our case go for a 4 hour hike. Even got a guided tour of the wind turbines. Cleanest long drop I've seen. Hopeing to go back soon.
