Site 10 - Heysen Base Camp

Well worth it

Tracey is a clear communicator with a nice manner. The site is clean of rubbish (we picked up a very small amount). The dunny was clean. The view and atmosphere stunning. Nothing bad to say at all . Thks!!

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.

Site 4 - Heysen Base Camp

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
