Cable Beach Caravan Park in Broome

Have stayed twice at the Kimberlyland at Kununarra and enjoyed it both times....in my humble opinion a top park....cheers

We have just tried to book for NEXT year ie July 2007. Person we spoke to was very rude and basically told us that if you are not a "regular" you have to send name, address etc and you will be placed in a ballot for a site in February 2007. Also minimum booking was for two weeks and you comne in on a Friday and go out on a Saturday which doesn't quite work. Basically they couldn't care less.
Try Broome Vacation village who were most helpful and friendly.

Broome is over rated and the treatment of visitors by some van parks is atrocious. They can afford to be as there are enough people out there happy to be treated like crap for the sake of staying in Broome for the "experience" of staying right in town...what ever.

We passed through there in 2003 and stayed at the Broome Caravan park which was 5 km (E) out of town. The staff were polite and helpful, the park was clean, grassy and well appointed. Most of all it wasn't crowed and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay there.

If we go back we're heading up the road the Cape Leveque and free camping on beaches. That way you get the glorious sunset without fear of being mowed down by a moron trying to get off Cable Beach.

The most important thing was it wasn't at the peak of the tourist season. We were there just after easter aroubnd Anzac Day. Most of the southerners had just started their northern migration. So if you want to avoid all the grief go very early after the wet or just before the build up.

We found the same thing in Karumba, heard these horror stories of the regulars having the monoploy on van sites and no one can get in unless you booked at birth. When we arrived in late October they were all on their way south. Had the pick of the spots right across from the beach....only goes to show its all in the timing.

Reckon Hidden Valley CP is the pick in Kununurra, especially for campers. Got large lawns and trees - don't seem to be as croded as the others. They are 4* though.

I am staying in the park at present and it is quite good, they are completing a new ablution block should be ready in acouple of weeks . Ron still owns it, if booking ask for Margie she is a gem would have to one of the nicest people that I have met working in a Caravan Park, they have plenty of sites at present but they are booked out for July and August,but is still worth trying as they always get cacellations.
In Kununurra We stayed at Kona Lakeside and found it to be great just the right distance from town if you know what I mean.

what was wrong with palm grove ??

Stayed at Cable Beach CP winter 1995 and it was very good.

Also while in the area book yourself into Barn Hill Station, about 130k south of Broome

Ivanhoe at Kununarra was VG

We stayed at the Roebuck bay CP in September 2003. Good park, a mix of all sorts. We didn't book, we just rocked up.

Close to town, but not in town.

Broome and environs are the pits....you will be traumatised if u think they care about u and will charge like you wont believe...Broome as a whole is the arse end of the world ...except its near a nudist beash ..sorry Cable Beach ..where the Camels trot to make wonderful snaps to fool suckers ...aka alll theose Mexicans who race up there to say they been !!! As for the Caraven park...well its just a squat..no room to open th ewindows on the van ..bang against the neighbour ...and if ure lucky..they wont snore to keep u awake...imagine how much sleep u would get if they were affected by the sun...Derbt was best spot on our trip ( in that region ) ...a quiet town with a few things to see but what a treat ..
