Cape Leveque

Rustynails, if you intended doing the Gibb River Road towing your van, then I don't see why you shouldn't tow it to Cape Leveque too. I am sure someone who drove it last season will comment on this for you, but its not the track that it is the issue but driving confidence. You'll love it! TIP: book a charter flight from there to Talbot Bay and go see the Horizontal Waterfalls, it is truly unique and worth the expense (as is everything extra in the Kimberley, it is actually not best viewed by 4WD (IMO), take as many aerial and boating trips as you can afford).

Assuming the weather is kind, you won't have any problem on the main road in. With a van of your size/weight you will probably be limited with regards accessing some of the more remote but better camping spots.

Around the same time last year the road in had its share of corrugated sections, but not over the top.

Given you need a popular camping area, I would suggest you try to book ahead as they tend to fill up fairly quickly.

We were lucky to get into one of the smaller camping areas (Bully's Camp - heading north you turn right immediately past the airstrip and head east.

A great spot but you could have a spot of bother getting in .... take a squiz :o))

We spent three nights in Broome mainly for the Stairway to the Moon. Then out to Quondong Point for two weeks. That was in August and buy all accounts the road to the Cape was ok for vans.

The Gibb in early August was fine as well.

I'm at Kooljaman at the moment. You can definitely get you caravan up here, whether you want to or not is another decision.

The dirt section of the road is quite corrugated, especially in June/July and in my opinion much worse that the Gibb River, unless your travelling to Kalumburu or Mitchell Plateau.

Have fun

The time we went up to cape Leveque it was the worst road we encountered in our trip around Aust. Stayed 3 nights and I was not looking forward to the trip back. But the road had been graded while we were there and it was like a highway (not really, but heaps better). Took us about 4.5 hours to get up there and about 2.5 to get back.
Just the luck of when it gets graded.

I am not sure if Cape Leveque allows caravans, only camper trailers. The times that I have been there they didn't allow them, so unless their policy has changed, check with them first.
