While I was planning for the Overland Track I had trouble finding collective information about the huts and camping grounds on the trail. Some I didn’t go to so don’t have any information on. Most other huts are for emergency only.

Overall, All Main Huts:

• Sleep at least 24
• Have untreated tank water
• Have one composting toilet (usually two)
• NO TOILETS HAVE TOILET PAPER (bring your own)
• NO RUBBISH BINS PROVIDED (Take your rubbish with you)
• Have plentiful camping spots for tents
• Have gas/coal heaters for cooler times (some only work at temps below 10 degrees)
• Have cooking tables inside the hut
• Have bookable group camping platforms
• Have a no open fire policy
