Most of the huts are basic, offering only a small sleeping shelter with a rainwater tank. Walkers should aim to be self-reliant. The huts incorporate facilities such as a rainwater tank, simple bunks, toilet, fireplace, tables and seats. Most huts cannot be pre-booked or reserved, so you are advised to carry a tent in case they are fully occupied upon your arrival. The huts vary from either stone or timber settler's cottages and old public buildings to modern shelters (some with an open side and three walls).
Many of the shelters are primarily constructed to capture rainwater rather than provide sufficient space to sleep.
When using a tent, avoid digging trenches around the tent. Remove any rubbish when you leave. Always carry a fuel stove and use it frequently as campfires scar the landscape. Observe low impact camping practices and don’t burn or bury rubbish.
Generally there are no fees for using the huts, shelters and campsites. Huts and campsites in national parks and forests incur a fee. Huts in forests need to be booked in advance. Private campsites such as caravan parks require payment.

Location

This campsite has recently been moved to this location (it used to be further east along the beach). This new campsite is yet to be signposted, there are no facilities. It is located south of the location marked in the new guidebook, below the carpark which is at the end of Tunkalilla Road. Before the signs go up and the campsite is established, a good spot to camp is on the dunes above the beach, adjacent the stile near the creek outlet at GR 569 528. |

This is a new campsite, first published in the third edition of the Southern Guidebook, May 2010 (which shows the Balquihidder West Campsite - http://www.heysentrail.asn.au/forums/viewtopic.php?t=239&accom_id=239 - moved 2km east to this new location.)
This is a 10HA site recently aquired by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. |

History
|
Originally built as a two-roomed hut, probably to accommodation shepherds working for Arthur Hardy of Sir Samuel Davenport. Hardy and Davenport were two of the first large estate landowners on this side of Mount Lofty Summit. They used the land chiefly for pastoralism and logging but also some agriculture, including the growing of vines and olives. Hardy was the first 'colonial gentleman' to build a summer house on Mount Lofty - nearby Mount Lofty House in the 1850s. |

History

Marschalls Hut was originally built in the mid 1850s, and the current hut is built with stones from the 5-room homestead ruins. Christian and Elise Marschall and their eight childen arrived in South Australia in October of 1854 having left their home in Babow in present day Germany. Christian's grave is in the adjacent cemetery. |

History
|
Bundaleer Forest was the first plantation forest in South Australia, and also the "birthplace of forestry in Australia". There was early concern that the State's precious native forest cover, never abundant, would be lost forever in the rush to find building materials. From 1873 the South Australian Parliament passed various acts to encourage the planting of forest trees, and in 1876 'Plantation A' - the first forest - was planted at Bundaleer. Many tree species - natives and exotics - were planted to see which would thrive in local conditions, and be commercially useful. Many of these trees, now a century and a quarter old, can still be seen at Bundaleer. The most successful product was the Radiata pine, today widely used in construction. There are other plantations along the Heysen Trail, at Kuitpo Forest and Mt Crawford Forest, but the vast majority of plantations of Pinus Radiatus are in the State's South-East. The first nurseryman at Bundaleer was John Curnow, whose cottage, known as Curnows Hut, is located near the original nursery. The timber from this plantation was used to build Spencer Gulf jetties, railway sleepers and in Broken Hill’s mines. |

History
|
During the 1800s and 1900s the house was occupied by two generations of butchers, who had shops in either Georgetown or nearby Narridy. The slaughter house was on the rise east of the hut - hence the road name (Slaughterhouse Road). After WW1 a family of 6 children and 3 adults lived in the house. Between 1940 and 1950 the house was occupied by the Noll family, of which Wendy O'Hagan (nee Noll) now lives in Georgetown. |
