There are three, small, remote walkers' camps along the Great Walk track that give you a fantastic camping-under-the-stars (or under the forest canopy) experience. You can either set up in one of the individual camp sites that cater for one or two small tents or in a group area, a little distance away, if you're in a slightly larger group. Numbers are limited each night to keep the sites looking good and giving you a Great Walk camping experience.

- Thilba Thalba walkers’ camp.
Each walkers' camp has:
- a toilet

- a one night’s camping limit
