7 Best Dump Point and Public Toilet Apps in Australia in 2026

What to look for in a dump point or toilet app

The National Public Toilet Map, run by the Australian Government, lists more than 23,000 public and private facilities. Its data includes whether a site has a dump point, whether there is wash-out water, whether a fee or a key is needed and the opening hours. Several apps below use that data, including Convenience, Caravan Helper and AussieCamps, so the useful differences are the filters, the extra places and what the app costs.

One caution from the map's own release notes: its newer flags, including wash-out water, start as false until they are updated. A site with no wash-out flag means unknown, not that there is no tap, so check the sign on site.

The apps at a glance

Use the National Public Toilet Map for toilets in towns and one of the camping apps for dump points beside the places you will stay.

1. AussieCamps: dump points beside the places you stay

AussieCamps holds 1,393 dump points, of which 230 are flagged with a washout tap, along with 3,004 drinking water points, 1,186 toilets and 1,246 rest areas with toilets, next to 1,838 campgrounds and 745 national parks. The dump points, water and toilets come from the National Public Toilet Map, and the campgrounds and parks from state park agencies, so one search covers where to empty, fill and sleep.

Each place shows details such as the washout flag, drinking water, accessible toilets, baby change, showers, opening hours and access notes, and you can filter by water, toilets, showers, power, dogs, vehicle access and fees. Place details are stored on the phone, so they stay readable with no signal; live maps and directions need a connection.

It is not a map of every toilet: it keeps all the dump points and water points, but only the toilets at camping grounds, rest areas, caravan parks and jetties, not those in shopping centres or restaurants. It runs on iPhone only, has no traveller reviews and has no field for fee amounts.

2. National Public Toilet Map: the official source

The official National Public Toilet Map app is free, rated 4.6 from 9,975 Australian ratings, and covers toilets with adult change, baby care, accessibility, opening hours, hoists, sharps disposal and showers. It is the broadest list of toilets in towns, shopping centres and parks.

Its store listing focuses on toilets and does not mention dump points, although the map's data includes a dump point flag and the trade site RV Daily reports a dump point filter in its apps. Urban toilets also outnumber the roadside ones you want on a long drive.

3. Convenience: toilets with key and payment filters

Convenience is free to download and shows more than 23,000 facilities from the government data, with key and payment requirements, parking and accessibility, and routes through Apple Maps or Google Maps. Including caravan and RV dump points is a Convenience Plus feature, also sold as a separate A$2.99 purchase, and the app has other purchases from A$1.99. It is rated 4.3 from 78 Australian ratings.

Its store page does not say whether it works offline.

4. Caravan Helper: dump points only

Caravan Helper costs A$4.99 with no in-app purchases and does one job: nearby dump points with distance and travel time in a list or on a map, plus payment and key requirements and parking. Its database combines the National Public Toilet Map's dump points with ones from the community, and each shows how long ago it was last verified. It is rated 4.5 from 310 Australian ratings.

It is paid up front, covers dump points only, and does not state its offline behaviour.

5. WikiCamps Australia: dump points inside the big directory

WikiCamps lists more than 65,000 sites by its own count, including dump points and showers, with filters for water refill, dump points and more. It costs A$9.99 once per platform, and its Offline Mode lets you use sites and up to three planned trips without reception. It is rated 4.5 from 16,662 Australian ratings.

We could not find a published dump point count, listings are written by travellers, and version 6 is a rebuild, and some recent reviews mention filters that are missing, so check what you rely on.

6. CAMPS Australia Wide: dump points with fee and big-rig symbols

CAMPS lists more than 1,000 public dump points, with addresses, GPS co-ordinates and symbols for cassettes, holding tanks, big rig accessibility and fee amount, according to its developer. It is free to download and free for 7 days, then A$14.99 a year, with premium offline maps that include site information. It is rated 4.4 from 3,478 Australian ratings.

Its developer site says 1,400 and its App Store text says 1,100, so we state only that it is over 1,000. It is a subscription with no free tier after the trial.

7. CamperMate: free, with dump stations and toilets

CamperMate is free with no in-app purchases and lists dump stations, public toilets, Wi-Fi spots and supermarkets across Australia and New Zealand. Its listing says you can download maps and use it without an internet connection. It is rated 4.4 from 1,543 Australian ratings.

It shows ads, and we could not find a published dump point count.

Fees and rules at dump points

Fees vary and no single national price exists. Many council dump points are free, such as the six public ones listed by the West Coast Council in Tasmania, while a park-run one can charge, as the Shire of Toodyay in Western Australia says Toodyay Holiday Park does for a small fee. Check the hours, whether a key or code is needed and whether there is a fee before you arrive.

Councils also set the rules. Singleton Council in New South Wales expects caravanners to use designated dump points for toilet cassettes and prohibits flushing waste down wash basins or toilets in ablution blocks. Rules on grey water and toilet waste differ by state and land manager, so check with them, and see our dump point guide for how to empty correctly.

How we compared them

We checked each app's price, in-app purchases, rating, version and features on the Australian App Store and developer sites on 21 October 2026, and the data fields on the National Public Toilet Map's own documentation. We left out apps that were stale or aimed at the United States.

We make AussieCamps, which is why it opens the list; none of the other apps paid to be here. If a price or a feature has changed, tell us on the support page.
