Draft Draft, to be checked by a lawyer before launch.

Check before you go.

Wrong camping information can leave you stranded or in danger. This page says what Trek Eleven’s information is, what it is not, and who to check with. It is the full version of the “Check before you go” box you see on every site page.

Short versions

These are the short versions you will see in the app and on the website.

On every site page in the app (the “Check before you go” box):

Conditions change fast and this place may not be as listed. This information comes from campers, owners, public lists and our own checks, and it can be wrong or out of date. We never say a place is safe. Always check Emergency WA first, then the land manager and the other official sources, and read the signs on site.

One line, for footers and the app’s Home and Settings:

Information may be out of date or wrong, so always check before you go.

On every farm stay:

Private property. Book with the owner first; never just turn up.

When nothing is listed:

Nothing listed does not mean it is safe, so still check the official sources.

When we cannot check:

We could not check just now, so do not take that as good news. Check Emergency WA and Main Roads WA before you go.

Where our information comes from

  • Campers who were there. They answer questions, tap “still like this?”, report problems and add photos. Their reports are not checked by us until someone checks them. Each shows a date.
  • Property owners. On a farm stay, what the owner says is labelled “The owner says”. Trek Eleven has not visited it unless the page says so.
  • Public lists. Some places come from OpenStreetMap, which anyone can edit. We label them “unverified suggestion”. Others come from Main Roads WA’s list of road stopping places, which Main Roads provides for information only, and which can change.
  • Official feeds. Fire warnings, total fire bans and fire danger ratings from Emergency WA, and road closures and incidents from Main Roads WA. We show them word for word, with the source and the time.
  • Our own checks. When someone from Trek Eleven has been to a place, the page says “Checked by Trek Eleven” with the date.

Any of these can be wrong or out of date.

Dates are not promises

Each fact shows when it was last checked, where we have a date. A recent date means someone said it was true then. It does not mean the place is safe, open or allowed now. Old information fades on the page and says “not checked since”.

What we never say

We never say a place is safe. We never say a place is open, or that it is legal to camp there. We never say “all clear”. We never say a track suits your vehicle.

We say what was reported, and when. “Camping reported here” is not permission to camp. Notes about access for your vehicle are reports from visitors, not a promise.

Fire

  • A total fire ban or a fire danger rating is declared by the fire authorities. Emergency WA is the place to check. We show what Emergency WA publishes, as published.
  • It can be late. We check about every 15 minutes, and we may not be able to reach the source. If the last good check is old, we say “unknown”.
  • Fire bans can start at midnight. With no signal, the app cannot check. Check again when you have signal.
  • A camper’s note about fires is not permission to light one. Local restrictions can apply even without a total fire ban. Ask the shire or the land manager.
  • In a bushfire emergency follow the instructions from Emergency WA and the fire authorities, and call 000.

Roads, tracks and closures

  • Road closures and incidents come from Main Roads WA. They are for information, they can change, and not every road is covered.
  • Tracks wash out and gates get locked. Reports of road or track condition are old by the time you read them.
  • Flooded, wet or damaged roads can strand you. If you are not sure, do not go.
  • Before you leave, check the Main Roads WA travel map and the land manager. Tell someone where you are going. Carry enough water, fuel and supplies, and do not count on phone signal.

Parks, closures and weather

We link to, but do not copy, DBCA park alerts, prescribed burns, the Bureau of Meteorology and SharkSmart. Parks can close for fire, flood, burns or maintenance, with little notice. Check them before you go. Check the park’s own rules, bookings and fees too.

Private property

Never enter private property without the owner’s OK. A place being on Trek Eleven is not permission to stay there, and that includes places from OpenStreetMap, which may be private. Farm stays (farms, wineries, stations and other private land) are listed by their owners. Book with the owner first. Camping on private land has rules that differ from shire to shire.

Water and supplies

Do not rely on a report that there is drinking water, a toilet, power or a dump point. Facilities break, run dry and get closed. Carry what you need.

Official sources to check

If anything on Trek Eleven is different from an official source, the official source is right.

In an emergency

Call 000. Trek Eleven is not an emergency service.

Something wrong?

Tell us. In the app, open the site and tap “Report a problem”. Or email hello@trek11.com.au. We will look into it.
