  • Most of the sites marked on the map will have at least pit toilets and rainwater. A few may have amenities like barbecues and showers.
  • A very few will have nothing other than a cleared area for camping. In these cases, please remember to bury your human waste at least 15cm deep and well away from any water source.
  • For sites in National Parks, you will need to buy a pass to enter the park.
  • We personally visited many of these camping sites during our bicycle trip in January 2009. Others have been suggested by fellow cyclists, guidebooks and tourist bureaus. We have done our best to assure accuracy but please be aware that some of this list is based on second-hand information and things do change!
  • If you have places or further details to add, please send us the details so we can share them with other travellers.
  • Please respect ‘no camping’ signs where they are posted and leave these sites better than you found them. Why not pick up a bit of stray litter as you take your own away?
