Hi,
I will be in
Broome in late july with a 2wd campervan.
Suppose I'll drive the 80 kms of unsealed road to go to
cape Leveque (I could handle corrugated road), my fears are about access road to
campground (sand).
Are there not too tough access roads ?
- to get to
middle lagoon ?
- to
chile creek ?
- to Whale song cafe ?
- Bully's
camp ?
- mercedes cove ?
- Kelk creek ?
any advice will be appreciate,
thanks,
Jean-Baptiste

Bully's
Camp and
Chile Creek will be your biggest challenges, haven't been to Kelk Creek. Correct tyre pressure will be critical. Maxtrax would be handy.

You should make
Middle Lagoon OK - we were there about 5 weeks ago, but my fave was Koolajman which is like a highway

Middle Lagoon track is also a doosie!
Just take it slow, especially with a 2WD campervan.
The track varies over several types of surface, from sandy (not too soft though), to corrugated, to motocross undulations, and then flat rocky surface.
