West Harper Hut | Craigieburn Forest Park

Not too many of these old-style huts are still around. Many trampers would be pleased that the majority of DOC huts have a considerable level of amenity above what is provided at West Harper Hut.

West Harper Hut has considerable character: bush-cut structural timbers, no flooring provided, it’s dirt, hammock-style canvas bunks. Basically, the opportunity for a trip back to the distant past.
