Free camping etiquette
- Read the sign at the entrance: stay limits, fires and dogs are set by the council or park manager.
- Use the toilets, or a proper dump point for your van toilet. Never empty it in a drain or the bush.
- Take all rubbish with you, and arrive before dark so you can see where you are parking.

Where can I empty my van toilet near Perth?

Can I sleep in my van anywhere around Perth?
