Caravan Park Toilets in Australia

The National Public Toilet Map records 164 public toilets at caravan parks across Australia. New South Wales holds the most at 38 — 23% of the national figure — ahead of Queensland (34) and Western Australia (33). The smallest recorded total is Tasmania, with 8. Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory record none at all. They sit in 154 named towns.

Burra (2), Calingiri (2) and Coorow (2) carry the most between them. Those 3 account for 6 of the 164; a further 144 towns record exactly one. The single busiest is Burra, SA.

Among them are Grassy Head Caravan Park on Reserve Road, Pyramid Hill Caravan Park, Ross Caravan Park and Melrose Caravan Tourist Park Dump Point. Further afield the map records Maxwelton (QLD) and Olive Reserve (WA).

Of the 164, 40 have a shower, 20 have drinking water and 53 are recorded as wheelchair accessible. They are 1% of the 24,446 public toilets recorded across Australia, and 1% of the round-the-clock ones.

53 of the 164 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — including Scarborough Boat Harbour Caravan Park and Stonehenge Caravan Park. 1 opens with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key: Crescent Head Caravan Park. 11 need a key from the operator instead, which means finding whoever holds it before you arrive. 9 of the 164 have a baby-change table, and every one of those sits at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

131 of the 164 are published as open 24 hours — such as Coorow Caravan Park and Patonga Caravan Park. 14 open in daylight hours only, 6 list variable hours and 2 follow the host venue's hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 6am at Calingiri Caravan Park and the latest closing is 8pm at Yalata Roadhouse and Caravan Park. 20 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

16 of the 164 charge for entry; the rest are free — the charging ones being Barossa Valley Discovery Park and Burdekin Cascades Caravan Park. Commercial and council-run parks are recorded the same way. Many amenity blocks in a caravan park are for registered guests only, and the dataset does not mark which — worth a phone call before relying on one. Every figure here is counted from the National Public Toilet Map, which operators and councils update at their own pace.
