Title: Dump Points
Post by: alnjan on February 11, 2013, 09:27:20 AM

Just trolling the net for Dump Points in our area and can not seem to find one website that includes all the Dump Sites in the area.  Some sites even say there are none. 

What website do you used to find Dump Points?

Yep, looked at that one, thought it might be helpful, but there appears to be no dump points in Coffs Harbour according to it

WikiCamps on the iPhone or iPad show Dump Points.
So as long as the data has been entered, you should be able to find one..
I am looking now.

WikiCamps shows the following Dump Points for Coff Harbour.

Phil Hawthorn Dr, Coffs (have GPS coords if needed).
Harbour City Holiday Park.
Park Beach Holiday Park.


They are the only three in Coffs, according to WikiCamps..

Should be, try the online store. The owners of WikiCamps have put out a few updates recently, so they may have an Android version too..

Hi Al,
Just did some ringing around, the only Dump Point around Grafton, is at the Grey Hound Track.
This is available to any traveler to use(Free of Charge), you don't have to stay at the track to empty your Porta Potty or holding Tank.
A lady at the Grafton Tourist Information Center gave me this information.

Yep that was what got me chasing the Dump Points and started thinking a further a field as where dump points are for travelling, never thought there would be an App for the mobile phone for Dump Points but there you go.

Great Site/App - really useful - thanks for the info! ;D

As they say on their website, it is a user managed database, so if you find a new site, new facilities or other info not currently on the APP, add it.
You can also add reviews, pictures and up to date pricing on sites you go to.

I am sure, once you have the updates to the database, it does not require an Internet connection or phone signal to work, but you are only searching data stored on your device...

Camps 6 (or 7 or whichever) also lists dump points in the back. Don't know if there's one for the towns your talking about.

Hi Kit_e,
I end up ringing council today and they said the only one they knew of around and near Grafton was the one at the Grafton Grey hound track.
Even threw a post up a local ratepayers Facebook page, There is only one.
The Stupid thing is Grafton is promoting itself as a RV friendly town,  ???

Found a few towns out west NSW signposted them too. The maps often show them in van parks and recently in Holbrook we used one, had to drive in to the park, spoke with manager and she said yep come in and use the dump point but take on no water! Suppose it's there little protest.
