Broome Caravan Parks

Ring and ask the camp you want to go to We did and got in but it took 4 calls to get confirmation. Friends rang and got into one Ok.
HopefullyCable Beach have a better system than when we were there... They didnt even have a computer just bits of paper in pockets on the wall.

Total disorganization. Best of luck.

We didnt like Broome much It seemed tourists were an imposition on the shopkeepers especially the Parts dept at Toyota. Was too much trouble for them to look up a part for my Cruiser unless I had the part number .... thats what I went in for.
Trip to Horizontal Falls was the highlight.

When in Brrom we stay at Tarangau Caravan Park. We have never had any issue with being able to book and have been happy with the facilities and staff

The Broome caravan Park on the way in to Broome on the left.

A bit out of town but I've always got a spot there, and they take bookings.

It might depend what you're looking for as to whether it's over-rated or not. It is the biggest town within a few hundred kilometres so if you're looking for a taste of 'town' after spending a while in remote areas you'll enjoy it - if you're looking for the remoteness and isolation of Cape Leveque or Mitchell Plateau then you probably won't want to spend long there. It is quite touristy, but given you're a tourist, that should present any problems.

We stayed at the caravan park at/near Cable Beach but I don't remember if they took bookings or not (not really relevant for us as we were finalising our itinerary on the road, which was in part dependant on weather conditions at the time). I know we took a powered site just so we'd have an allocated space to return to (which is important when you're using a rooftop tent which goes with you on every day trip) rather than having to claim a patch of dirt wherever we could squeeze in amongst all the surfie backpackers

We always stay at the Broome caravan park . As someone said its just on the way into town. They have large sites and we have never had a problem getting a site when we just turn up. We were there last month and they were connecting the power to a whole heap of new sites. Also they have a beautiful pool and wonderfull clean amenities. You will find that you will still have to get in the car to drive down on the beach to watch the sunset, so it really doesn't matter if it takes an extra few minutes to get there. ( there is also a shortcut to there if you don't mind going on some gravel)

Hi GT, last we were there about 5yrs ago, they worked on an 'overflow system'- when all parks booked, the shire allowed opening up extra of space at local oval with basic facilities ( I think lions ran it) and out near bird sanctuary. I recollect there was a new park being built as well. We originally booked 2 nites at roebuck plains roadhouse ( small c/park beside) , but after first nite of semis coming and going all nite long with noise and dust, we moved into town. got lucky at cable beach c/park for a week. they took bookings but were regularly full every 'season'. considering how relatively expensive the area is, I would almost agree its overrated. beach camel ride and pearl farm trip a good experience. google up the tourist bereau etc.. for more info.
you will find trip up from PH a long drive, watch for cattle. personally, 80 mile beach c/park better, again, when we were there, no bookings, they were running it so you just turn up in AM and see who goes out so you can come in. its about 200 k north from PH, look for signage, turn off to left when going north, good access to c/vans.
enjoy.

I rang 4 different parks yesterday, including Pistol club & PCYC.
Pistol club not open by council yet as still room in all the caravan parks.
Overflow at PCYC only taking travellers WITH animals
We got site for 1st & 2nd July as well as 8th & 9th July as I have hosp appts but do not want to book in for the 10 days. Had to pay $50 deposit at the on booked into which we had been recommended.

we were advised (and did) to get tehre early. We stayed at Wyndham, and left about 6:30AM, arrving about 10:00 am from memory. We went to teh first place (Cable Beach I think) and asked if we could get a site for a few days. Very nice service (not) - they said site nos xxx and yyy are available. Didn't even tell us where they were - we had to plod around eventually to find one. Have a look at them and if you want one, come back & book in. We had a look and chose a very nice site near the water and went back to pay.

We had visited Broome years before and found it interesting, but last time we decided that it probably would be the last time we went there.Too touristy and yuppie for us, although the sights on Cable Beach were interesting to say the least...

Hi,
We found many parks in this area would not have any sites if booking of a week or less but if you wanted a month or 2 months no trouble and a good site as well. Just not interested in small bookings.

Hi GT. Stayed at Roebuck caravan park a few weeks ago. Right on the beach front as we prepared for our stay at One Arm Point and a few other places in that area . good sites and facilitys. We rang a day before and booked a site with a preference for the front on the beach. They were very friendly. Ended up storing the van at Griffiths storage which is also very good and close to town.
cheers Graeme.

Thanks all who have replied. Have made a booking at Broome Caravan Park. No problems getting in. Regards G.T.

As a long time Broome local just a little bit of advice - if you you don't like sand flies I recommend Tarangau, Cable Beach CP or Palm Grove. I will not negate any Park but just advise that closer to Cable Beach the better.
Cheers

Broome Caravan Park is good for people over 25. Relatively quiet. Donna and Graham Sutherland let me move from my tent to one of their cabins during a windy period, and charged me no more than for a tent site.

What I liked about them is that they treated me as a decent human being and I treated their family with respect.

Donna and Graham seven days a week and live simply so they can put their kids through private school. When you pay the rent money you feel it is going to a good cause.

There were lots of interesting people staying there and I left with a good feeling about the caravan park.

Broome itself is another kettle of fish. It will eat you if it gets the chance.
