Just south of the town, there are the Mylor Parklands, right adjacent the Heysen Trail and high above the main road.
There’s evidence of previous campers – cleared ground, a stone fire-ring ( I wish people would clear their fire rings when they leave the camp. Remember: Leave No Trace).

If the sky’s clear (and it was, when we camped there), it’s a beautiful place to set up camp. Lots of trees, flowers, orchids.

S2N E2E, there 12.5.21
The oval reserve has clear ‘no camper vans and no camping’ along the small road that goes around the oval.
However at the southern end of the reserve with the playground near the road there are no signs back in the corner away from the playground near the creek. Also has a shelter with seats in it. Maybe you can camp there, locals did not seem to mind.

  I’ve camped here in the past. Did a long day from Finniss River campsite to Mylor. Arrived after dark and camped in the corner you mentioned (next to a small creek). Didn’t have any issues.

Mapsheet 1: Cape Jervis to Kuitpo Forest (Sept 2014)

Occasionally, due to weather or maintenance issues, it is necessary to realign sections of the Heysen Trail. Minor reroutes, necessitated by such things as sand blowouts in coastal areas, protection of native vegetation, erosion control, or requests from landholders, are also frequently carried out.

Harvesting operations in Kuitpo Forest: ForestrySA operations in Kuitpo Forest will impact the Heysen Trail into the foreseeable future. Walkers in this forest may encounter closed plantation blocks as harvesting operations are undertaken. The presence of heavy machinery and falling trees makes it highly dangerous, and heavy trucks using the haul roads add to the risk. Walkers must not enter the harvesting areas under any circumstance (penalties apply). ForestrySA Rangers and Friends of the Heysen Trail volunteers will ensure that safe reroutes are in place and are clearly marked. Walkers should follow the marked reroute trail until the new track rejoins the Heysen Trail. Reroute signs will be placed at the start and finish of the reroute. From time to time, it will be necessary to reroute the Trail along public roads. Walkers are advised to take extra care on public roads, to always walk on the right, facing traffic and to always walk in single file.

Minor reroutes, necessitated by such things as sand blowouts in coastal areas, protection of native vegetation, erosion control, or requests from landholders, are also frequently carried out.

Logging operations in forests can sometimes necessitate the rerouting of the Trail. These reroutes often have to be done at short notice, and it is important to follow these reroutes, as it is dangerous to walk in areas where logging operations are in progress.
