There are 48 campsites along the Track, which are spaced a day's walk apart. In the northern section between Kalamunda and Brookton Hwy, they are only 10 km apart due to proximity to population and high usage. Further on they are 12km to 24km apart. See the overview map of the Track.
As well as a 3-sided timber shelter, each campsite has a sit-down pit toilet, rainwater tank, picnic table and tent sites. In addition some have a fireplace. Exceptions are the Yourdamung and Blackwood campsites in the northern half of the Track and all campsites to the south and east of the Shannon River in the southern half, i.e. Mt Chance campsite to Albany. These are permanent NO FIRE campsites where only fuel stoves are to be used for cooking. To help preserve the environment and due to the increasing lack of firewood, use of fuel stoves for cooking is encouraged at all campsites.
Boot cleaning stations are positioned along the Track to help avoid the spread of the devastating 'die-back' disease (Phytophthora cinnamomi) carried by spores in the soil.
Currently all Track facilities are free and offered on a first come, first served basis. However, groups of more than 8 may not occupy a shelter before 6pm (see Code of the Campsite). If you are travelling in a group of 8 or more, then please also see the Notice of Intent page.
In case the shelters are full, all walkers are advised to take a tent or bivvy bag. Alternatively, if you don't want to carry a full pack or camp out on the Track, there are nine towns along the way offering a wide range of accommodation. For overnight pack free walking, staying at accommodation, see our Bibbulmun Walking Breaks. See also the frequently asked questions.
In addition, there are several facilities designed to enhance the walker's experience. Boardwalks, well positioned lookouts and footbridges all form part of the trail.

Campsites
All campsites on the Bibbulmun Track are furnished with an excellent, roomy, wooden shelter. These are designed to accommodate between eight to fifteen people comfortably, but will keep many more, at a squeeze, dry and cosy when the weather is not conducive to sleeping out.
There are several basic shelter designs. All of them are simp
