About ShowerMap
Helping people find public showers across the UK, USA, and Australia.
What We Do
ShowerMap is a free directory of public shower facilities. We help you find places to shower when you're travelling, working on the road, camping, or just need access to clean facilities away from home.
Our database includes leisure centres, gyms, truck stops, beach showers, hostels, community centres, and other locations where you can access shower facilities. We list both free and paid options, with details about costs, opening hours, and what to expect.
Who Uses ShowerMap

- Van lifers and campervan travellers who need regular access to showers
- Truck drivers and delivery workers on long routes
- Cyclists and runners who want to freshen up after a workout
- Surfers and beach-goers looking for rinse-off facilities
- Anyone who needs a shower while away from home
