A Guide to Campervan Etiquette: Tips for a Respectful Adventure

1. Leave No Trace

The golden rule of campervan travel is to leave every place as pristine as you found it. Proper waste management is essential to preserving WA’s natural beauty.

• Dispose of trash in designated bins or take it with you.
• Use biodegradable soaps and cleaning products to minimize environmental impact.
• Recycle whenever possible and avoid single-use plastics.

2. Respect Campsite Rules

Each campsite has its own set of rules to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all visitors. Be sure to familiarize yourself with them and follow these general guidelines:

• Keep noise levels down, especially during quiet hours.
• Park only in designated spots to avoid damaging vegetation.
• Share communal facilities like kitchens and bathrooms respectfully.

3. Be Mindful of Wildlife

WA is home to a diverse range of wildlife, and it’s important to observe animals from a distance without disturbing their habitats.

• Avoid feeding wildlife, as it disrupts their natural diet.
• Drive slowly in areas where animals may cross roads, especially at dawn and dusk.
• Keep your campsite clean to prevent attracting animals.

4. Conserve Resources

Conserving water, electricity, and fuel is not only environmentally friendly but also ensures you’re prepared for remote adventures.

• Use water sparingly when cooking, cleaning, or showering.
• Turn off lights and appliances when not in use.
• Plan your fuel stops in advance to avoid running low in remote areas.

5. Be Considerate of Fellow Travelers

The campervan community thrives on mutual respect and cooperation. A little kindness goes a long way in creating a positive atmosphere.

• Greet fellow travelers and share tips or advice.
• Avoid blocking access roads or taking up too much space in shared areas.
• If you’re leaving early, try to keep noise to a minimum to avoid disturbing others.

6. Support Sustainable Travel
