Caravan & RV Dump Points Across Australia

Finding somewhere to empty your cassette or black water tank shouldn't be the stressful part of travelling. This independently maintained resource helps caravanners and RV travellers find dump points across Australia, with practical details on access, facilities and what to expect when they arrive.

Dump point information changes over time - facilities close, fees change, access arrangements vary and new locations appear. Traveller contributions help keep the map useful, whether you're confirming details, reporting a change, or submitting a new dump point you discover on the road.

Common Questions

Are dump points free to use?

Most are. Of the 1,390 dump points we cover, 1,340 are free to use, with the rest charging a small fee or sitting inside paid facilities like caravan parks, where you may need to be a guest or pay a casual rate. Fees do change though, and occasionally before the data catches up - so treat the listing as a good guide rather than a guarantee, and carry a few coins just in case. If you strike a fee that isn't shown, reporting it from the listing page fixes it for the next traveller.

Can I put grey water down a dump point?

Many dump points can accept both black water and grey water, but this depends on the site and local requirements. Where available, using a designated dump point is the safest option rather than disposing of grey water onto the ground. Our guide to grey water and black water covers the rules in more detail.

What do I need to bring?

Disposable gloves, your cassette or drain hose, and a container of rinse water are the basics. Many dump points don't have a washout hose, so it pays to be self-sufficient. See what to pack in your dump kit for the full list.

What is an MLAK key and do I need one?

An MLAK key opens accessible toilets fitted with the Master Locksmiths Access Key system. Some dump point locations have accessible toilets with MLAK locks, giving key holders access 24 hours a day. Where a listing mentions MLAK, that's what it refers to. If you rely on accessible facilities, our MLAK key guide explains where to get one.

How accurate are the listings?

We cross-check every listing against the National Public Toilet Map on a regular basis, and travellers who've actually visited can confirm details or report a change directly from the page. Nothing beats a recent visit though, so for remote trips it's worth having a backup option in mind.

How can I update or correct a dump point listing?

Because things change quickly on the road, we rely on fellow travellers to help keep this resource accurate. If you spot a closed site, an incorrect fee, or missing details, you can submit a correction directly from that listing's page using the update form provided. For general questions or other feedback, feel free to head over to our contact page.
