Camping and Accommodation
The trail has been designed to pass through a town at least every second day, to make re-supplying easy and to give you a range of accommodation choices.
There are five purpose-built campsites between Mundaring and Collie. Campsites are provided a comfortable day's ride apart, about every 35 to 40 kilometres, between towns. These campsites are designed to accommodate the individual needs of cyclists and include a bike shelter and a bike repair area, as well as providing the basic necessities such as a campshelter (sleeps up to 25 people), bush toilet, tent sites, picnic tables and a water tank.
The Munda Biddi campsites are designated as fuel stoves only. The main reasons for excluding open fires is to reduce the trampling of sensitive forest areas and reduce the risk of wildfires.
Other accommodation sources
Alternative accommodation can be found in the towns along the trail. For more information see the Munda Biddi Foundation's Guide to Accommodation and Services.
The Department of Conservation and Land Management is designing and planning the trail in consultation with the Munda Biddi Trail Foundation, the Department of Sport and Recreation, the Western Australian Mountain Bike Association and other representatives of the cycling community.
