Which caravan park in Kununurra??

The Kimberlyland is a nice park, close to the town, very shady , good safe pool , reasonably priced....I believe no bookings , you just have to get there early and wait on a vacancy...going in from the east means you can usually get there earlier than those coming from the west because of the time difference, we were fortunate enough to get a pool side site each visit.....do not know about the other parks as have not stayed at any of them but they are all reasonably good parks from what I have seen of them...have been to the place 3 times and enjoyed it each time. Try and do the Lake/River tour if you can , there is a lot to see and do in a week.

Hi Jason,

we stayed at the Lakeside Resort.

It has a few fly in/fly workers staying there but they were pretty good. It was really nice.

An excerpt from my diary when we stayed there:

At Kununurra we camped at the Big 4 caravan park. Not sure what the big 4 stands for but we have made up our own list:
(1) Very Expensive
(2) If you don't own a caravan we would rather you didn't stay here. (If you have children we rather you didn't stay here also)
(3) Staff are totally incompetent and despite the assistance of a computer to add up for them, cannot come up the bill correctly.
(4) Yes, we have some very nice camp sites but we don't want you camping on them because it is ratings season (currently 4 star rating) and we don't want you to muck them up. We also have a play ground but we don't want your children playing in it either "Playground's closed Buzz off!".
It did, however, have a very nice pool.

( we had a camper trailer)

This in 2002 (we had a camper trailer), they showed us this superb caravan park with lovely green camp sites, when is cam time to set up camp they wanted us to go in the corner in a shared site that was just red dirt. Caravan sites are apparently rated on how green the grass is and the ratings were more important to them than the guests.

Hi Jason,

I have stayed ay 3 Parks over the years -

1) Big 4 Ivanhoe - very cramped sites and as already stated very poorly managed. But good clean amenities

2) Kona Lakeside - very shady and can have sites right on Lake Kununurra. Good amenities and the sunsets are great. Downside is they have a minimum stay policy and quite a few permanents.

3) Lakelands - a bit further to the East of town but backs onto the lake. A much simpler park with a first in best dressed policy. But I enjoy this the most due to good managers.

We had a unpowered site at the Lakeside Resort for 4 nights on the way to Broome and a powered site at the Discovery Holiday Park for one night on the way back. We were stuck in the middle on a very busy day at the Discovery Holiday park, but nice and close to the Pump House Restaurant which was a must. The following photo was our spot at the Lakeside Resort. Kevin

Are you making a booking Jason? Powered sites can be under pressure peak season. I would suggest any of the the lakeside parks.

We were there August 1998. We chose the BIG4 park "without" the pool. Hindsight is a marvellous thing. Given temps up there that time of year are around 30-35 celsius day in day out, a caravan park with a pool is a must.
