Often during my planning of a trip, I find that it is sometimes a tedious process in locating campsites for overnight stays - whether they be normal caravan parks, showgrounds or sports grounds with shower and/or toilet facilities, or just suitable locations for rough camps.  Often as a result of my tours and/or tour planning process, I come up with a number of alternative sites or opportunities along the way.  In order to save myself from duplicating research at some later stage for a subsequent trip, I have prepared the map below with points that I have either stayed at, or seen along the way, or found during research.  If you have any of your own that you might like me to include, just send me a note with their name; lat/long; and what facilities are nearby and I will update this page with that information.  You can download the zipped GPX file containing the sites to upload to your mapping software or GPS by clicking on the button above.

Names may vary from time to time, but the locations don't.  However, before your trip, it is wise to check that they are still in existence.  Caravan parks close down, and NPWS sometimes close down campsites to allow for rejuvenation.

Also refer to the Links page for other website information for camping and caravanning sites.

As a guide, I have used the following symbols

	Campsites consisting of rough camps with no facilities; campsites in State or National Parks; roadside rest areas with some/no facilities; and, showgrounds or sports grounds with some/all/no facilities.  Some of these sites will incur a fee.  Wherever possible, I have used the following to provide what I consider to be the important pieces of information when looking at campsites.   W = Potable water from either town or tank supply or purchased bottled water nearby.  If there is nothing with the "W", or its permutations, you should carry water if it is your intention to camp there.  I have not been able to verify that water from any source is available at these sites. W/B = Water that needs to be boiled before drinking W/B/? = Water that needs to be boiled before drinking but may be of uncertain availability, such as seasonal streams or roadside rest area tanks with small roof catchments T = Toilets ranging from normal sewage systems to bush drop toilets S = Hot or cold showers
	Hotels, motels, B&B's, hostels or cabins.  In some instances, it has been possible to camp at/behind these locations with the owner's approval and use some of their amenities.  Usually there is a fee involved.
	Caravan parks of all types.  They range from the very basic to the more elaborate.  For the latter type, I show "$$" in their description to indicate that they are expensive.  It does not suggest value for money.

To obtain more information about each of the campsites marked, place your cursor over the icon and double click on it to see the name of the site and the town/location, as well as other information as indicated above.  To obtain the lat/long co-ordinates, drag the map so that the icon is in the centre of the cross-hairs in the middle of the map.  The lat/long of the cross-hairs is shown in the bottom left hand corner of the map.
