Relief Managers. This was a really lovely park. The sites are higgledy piggledy but fine. Amenities are very basic but if you have your own - no problem. The beach is fantastic and enjoyed walking the dogs morning and night off the leash. Sunday night is a 3 course roast dinner $15 pp in the open-air grassed area - excellent value and there were about 150 people enjoyed this. The road in is dirt and a bit corrugated but worth it. The power is 4 amp therefore you can't use microwave, air-con, toaster, kettles or anything with elements. There is a non-powered area away from the powered sites where you can use a generator. Very friendly staff, staff explained park layout and facilities. Very good value for money ($25 2A per night, shoulder season). Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, no sites with annex slabs, shade to most sites, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by. You can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 3). Peaceful, open & roomy park, plenty of shade, no permanents. No playground, no bbqs, no pool. Suitable for month or longer, suitable for families.
Likes: Close to the beach - serene
Dislikes: Not full power
Added Touches: The Sunday night 3 course roast $15 pp Ice cream in cones $2

Report submitted by Moechan (16).

This park is located on a station 10 kilometres off the highway. Access is via an unsealed road which was moderately corrugated when we visited. Don't expect a farm stay; it is a beach park located on a station. The park covers a reasonable area with some sites in amongst trees. Others, particularly the unpowered and generator area offer little shade. The sites and facilities are rustic but the location is good with an excellent beach within 100m of park. A small shop operated in the tourist season offering long life milk, frozen bread and a few basic groceries. Visitors really need to take their own supplies. Power is 4 amp with no use of electric jugs, air con or hot water systems. Amenities are concrete and corrugated iron but seem to work ok, some have no roof allowing guests to commune with nature while using the amenities. Plenty of people in this park are there for the winter. Average staff friendliness. Reasonable value for money ($25 2A, powered, off-peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to most sites, cleanliness was average, condition is reasonable, water pressure is bad, there was adequate hot water. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, poor night lighting, sites will accommodate medium to large vans, no sites with annex slabs, shade to some sites, adequate taps close by. Poor laundry, basic rec room, no camp kitchen, no wireless internet available, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 1). Peaceful, open & roomy park, not enough shade, no permanents. No playground, no pool. Suitable for few days.
Added Touches: Sunday night roast. Shop sells nice vanilla slices which we were told were home made
Local Information: Boats can be launched from the beach
Roads: Sandy and corrugated for 10 km

Report submitted by Snodgrass 47 (6).

The park is split into two separate areas, powered and non-powered. Powered sites are shaded, small and claustrophobic, unpowered have little shade, are more open and larger but have greater exposure to the wind. The amenities are basic and in the unpowered area water is heated in pipes on the ground resulting in little hot water on cloudy days and at peak times. Dump point (pit in the ground), taps to only some sites, no sullage. Rates vary from $15 to $27 depending on the site. The scenery is superb, but the campground is a bit tired.
Dislikes: There were some problems when people tried to park on powered sites which were reserved for long-staying mates.
Added Touches: $16 roast on Sunday nights
Local Information: Good fishing from beach or boat. Great scenery and beach.
Roads: Quite corrugated for early in the season.

10km dirt road, 3 gates that are to closed after entry. Lots of speed humps to look out for, they are not marked. Disappointing park, expected station stay, but turned out a busy caravan park with winter long-term campers. Some showers and toilets don't have a roof. Phone/Internet signal varied. Power is limited, electrical equipment with heat elements can't be used. Friendly staff, staff explained park layout and facilities. Poor value for money ($25.00 2A per night, powered). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to only some sites, cleanliness was average, condition is poor, water pressure is good, there was inadequate hot water. Adequate number of tourist sites, some unlevel sites, poor night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, no sites with annex slabs, shade to most sites, hard to negotiate into site, adequate taps close by. Poor laundry, no rec room, no camp kitchen, kiosk, dump point, no wireless internet available, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 3). Peaceful, claustrophobic park, plenty of shade, no permanents. No playground, no bbqs, no pool. Suitable for overnighter.
Likes: Lovely location and beaches. The unpowered section has stunning views of beach and cliffs
Dislikes: Some shower facilities have wood fire hot water so if not stoked is cold. Power poles not close to sites, had to use 2 power cables to reach. Other regular campers have clicky groups
Parking: Park at sign
Added Touches: Small bowling green, markets in winter. Roast night Sundays. Regular campers organise Tai Chi, craft mornings etc
Local Information: Lovely beaches with striking rock formations and good fishing. Sunsets
Roads: 10kms of dirt road corrugated in some areas and depending on the weather. 3 gates to be opened and closed. Lots of speed humps that are not marked so take it slow.

We have rated this highly as we think it is fantastic. Such a relaxing spot. If you like the beach, fishing, swimming, beach walking with lovely scenery this is for you. The amenities are very basic but this is part of the charm of the place as it really is bush camping with the added bonus of having amenities. It is unique to have a shower whilst looking at the stars. Every day you can get freshly cooked vanilla slices, lamingtons, sausage rolls, pizzas and on Sunday evening $16.50 gets you a 3 course roast meal with entertainment. Amazing how they do all this in such a remote area and it tastes good. The power is limited so aren't able to run air conditioners but not really necessary as being close to the coast gets some nice breezes. We are lucky and have caught the tail-end of the travellers so the park is quiet with a choice of sites, but it does get very busy during the peak of the peak season so need to book. Many people come here from the S for winter. The 9km of dirt road not too bad, just take it slow. Friendly staff. Good value for money ($25 2A per night, powered, off-peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to most sites, were clean, condition is poor, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water. Adequate number of tourist sites, some unlevel sites, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, no sites with concrete annex slabs, shade to most sites, drive-through sites. Basic laundry, no rec room, kiosk, no wireless internet available, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 2). Peaceful, open & roomy park, plenty of shade No playground, no bbqs, no pool. Suitable for month or longer, suitable for families.
Likes: Proximity to beach and its scenery. The wonderful homemade cakes and food. Friendly campers and relaxed atmosphere of the park.
Dislikes: Maybe the amenities could be better but wouldn't put us off returning and we have been in parks with worse amenities.
Added Touches: Cakes, sausage rolls, pizzas and Sunday roast all worth trying. Fish cleaning area.

Definitely a different stop but adequate for several days. We would return. Beach is good for swimming and fishing and scenery spectacular. Paid for a semi-powered site so unable to use some items as stated in other reports. Very friendly staff. Price was as expected, reasonable value for money ($16 2A per night, peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to most sites, cleanliness was average, condition is reasonable. Some level sites, good night lighting, no sites with concrete annex slabs, shade to some sites, poor water quality, adequate taps close by. Basic laundry, no rec room, dump point. Peaceful, open & roomy park. No playground, no pool. Suitable for few days.

Report submitted by Lyn & Graham, Adelaide (18).

Great park with quite a number of double concrete slabs and mostly shaded sites. The sites were big enough to fit large caravans and they also had a lot that were suitable for 5th wheelers, motorhomes etc. If they don't have any powered sites when you arrive they book you into an unpowered area (grassed) and then you can move the next day. When we were there a new BBQ shelter was being built near the pool and an old looking trolley one was near it - that seemed to be the only one in the park and was certainly a long way from most sites. Very friendly staff, staff explained park layout and facilities. Good value for money ($303 2A per week, peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to most sites, were clean, condition is very good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, soap provided. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, good night lighting, sites will accommodate medium to large vans, annex slabs to some sites, shade to most sites, adequate taps close by. Good laundry, no rec room, dump point, book swap available, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 4). Peaceful, open & roomy park, plenty of shade. Gas bbq (free). No playground. Clean pool, kid-safe pool area Suitable for a week or more, suitable for families, well maintained park, park is considered kid-safe.
Likes: Double slab after all the red dust! Lovely pool area with sun lounges.
Parking: Entry car park will take a couple of vans being booked in

$34 per night. Only sign is the roads department sign to a caravan park. Park is the first park on reaching Broome and is on a side road parallel to highway but foliage has hidden any signage on the park. Sites vary between large and very large and the park is well suited to larger caravans, buses, fifth wheelers etc. Roads were wide and made backing in so much easier. Not much grass but lots of trees for shade. The staff were friendly and helpful. The large pool and surrounding area with chairs etc is most attractive and enjoyable in the hot weather. The park is about 4 km to either Chinatown or Cable Beach.

Likes: The pool was fantastic, with a waterfall you could sit behind. Plenty of seating around this huge pool.
Dislikes: The showers were absolutely useless in the amenities near the pool, the shower heads all needed cleaning as they were all blocked and only a little bit of water got through, staff were aware of it but not willing to do anything. Also shut off half the amenities in an area where they put everyone as it was off season so had to queue for toilet etc. Ask staff to explain both but could not get any reasonable response from them other than it is off peak.
Parking: Room for a van to book in.
Local Information: Camel ride on cable beach is great as well as Malcolm Douglas Wildness Park (the one out of town).

Basic playground in average condition. Clean pool is shaded, kid-safe pool area, tables and chairs provided. Suitable for a week or more, well maintained park.
Likes: Closeness to cable beach
Dislikes: The way people are jammed in. Some tent sites were so small the campers had to sit on the road gutter as there was nowhere else. We had at one stage a small mobile home next to us that was so close they could not open their door on one side. The permanents mostly worked shifts and came and went at all hours. On their days off they washed their huge boats on the narrow interior roads. Not enough room to park your car on your site. Next time we will look for a less crowded park.
Parking: There is room for only one big rig at reception but there is space on the road outside.
Added Touches: Very basic fish cleaning area.

Great location, walking distance to Cable Beach but otherwise, nothing much else going for it. A very noisy park, with the Tavern across the road adding to the noise until midnight most nights.

Likes: Proximity to Cable Beach
Dislikes: Permanent tenants working shift work would drive through the park at all hours of the night. The park was huge so the noise level was quite high. The Tavern across the road would play loud music until midnight most nights. This was a very expensive park for the service and facilities offered and we would probably try to avoid staying there in the future.
Parking: Got 'told off' by a staff member because we didn't see the sign that directed check-in vehicles to park in a certain area.

Report submitted by JulesB (3).

We booked our site in February 2009. All confirmed by park, including the size of our camper trailer. On arrival it appeared that they had lost our booking somewhere and then we found ourselves on a "site" which did not appear on their map and which we were advised by the permanent next door was only used as a site in peak season. Had to manhandle camper by hand to get it in, crusher dust site made it difficult. Long distance to power. No water access. Difficult parking vehicle but we got by with co-operation of our neighbours. When challenged on the site we were advised that it was peak season (must admit that one of the staff did say later that she was embarrassed by what they had done). Attitude was take it or leave it which is not really an option in Broome in July so we were stuck with it. Very crowed park, every available space that would fit something was being used. Would not recommend the place in a fit in the peak season. Average staff friendliness, bad staff response to complaints. Price was as expected, poor value for money. Amenity number would not cope in peak times, are close to only some sites, cleanliness was average, condition is reasonable, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water. Inadequate number of tourist sites, some level sites, poor night lighting, small sites, shade to some sites, hard to negotiate into site. Basic laundry. Peaceful, claustrophobic park.

Not easy to find (especially if you miss a sign like I did). A big sprawling park next to Roebuck Bay. Sites in the tourist area, down by the bay, are large, level and grassy. The one to which we were allocated did not appear to have been mown for some time. Roadways are bitumen. Most sites are separated from their neighbours by trees. There are four drab amenity blocks and a couple of BBQ areas, one overlooking Roebuck Bay. There is also a car-washing bay. The town centre is within walking distance (About 30 mins easy walk) or there is a regular bus service with a stop not far from the park entrance. Site fees quite high ($32 2A per night plus $3 per day if you use air conditioning). You are also asked to water and mow your site. If, like us, you are lucky enough to score a site by the water, the view is beautiful! A suitable place to stay for any length of time.

I think the managers name is Lorraine (she never introduced herself). We phoned a couple of weeks in advance to book. She wasn't friendly over the phone but as they were the only ones that took dogs we had to go with it. We arrived and asked nicely, "Have we a nice shady site " she spat out, "You'll take what you're allocated." Oops! If we could have we would have left there and then. Everyday there was a bad day and treated like Lepers. We only stayed a week out of 4 as we wanted to stay for the Festival. So Broome missed out. The people of Broome were lovely it was just the park managers. Everyone we spoke to with or without dogs had a bad experience and will never go back to Broome. I eventually wrote to the Visitors Centre and they were thankful and will follow up. Unfriendly staff, bad staff response to complaints. $40 2A per night, off-peak season. Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to only some sites, cleanliness was average, condition is good. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, poor night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, shade to most sites. Quiet.
Dislikes: Managers - signs everywhere. Treated like irresponsible children, not responsible adults. The manager mowed around out site when we were having breakfast - dirt and dust everywhere and we were leaving the next day.
Local Information: Cable Beach is absolutely amazing and the highlight and dining at Cable Beach Sunset Bar. Of course the camel ride at sunset.

This park claims to be the only park in Broome that takes pets out of season from 1 September. This is a misnomer; they only want 'small caravan dogs' so if you have anything bigger than a maltese they aren't interested. When I questioned this I was told in no uncertain terms it is their choice who they have in their park! The closest park we could find that takes dogs was Roebuck Plains Roadhouse 33kms E of Broome.

Park is within reasonable access to Cable Beech and local attractions. Managers are rude and while they advertise the park as "The only park in Broome that takes dogs" they complain when you arrive, even when you have provided advice when booking as that you have dogs and their breeds. The bullying behaviour of the male manager to us about our dogs and that we were basically a nuisance because we had them was the worst behaviour we have experienced at a caravan park. Having stayed at parks in SA, NT and other parts of WA, we were shocked and disappointed at this behaviour. Very unfriendly staff, bad staff response to complaints. Poor value for money ($34 2A per night, powered, peak season). Amenity number would not cope in peak times, are close to only some sites, were clean, condition is good, water pressure is bad, there was adequate hot water, paper towels/dryer provided, disabled facilities. Adequate number of tourist sites, some level sites, good night lighting, small sites, no sites with concrete annex slabs, shade to some sites, hard to negotiate into site. Basic laundry, no rec room. Quiet, claustrophobic park, plenty of shade, no permanents. No bbqs, no playground, no pool. Suitable for overnighter.
Likes: Handy to Cable Beech
Dislikes: Rude and spiteful managers. Treated us like we were in a prison camp and had better not mess up with our dogs.
Parking: None that were adequate.
Local Information: Broome is lovely at this time of the year with weather in the low thirties and lots of tourist attractions. Unfortunately there are not enough services available and you need to book trips etc. prior to getting there, as many will be full and you can miss out. The visitor information centre is excellent and provide a great deal of assistance with tour booking and advice.

Manager's name is Bevan & Lorraine. Roads are gravel but nowhere near as dusty and a lot of grass has been planted and this has made a tremendous difference to the dust level. The amenity block has been well maintained and is in excellent condition. The price is reasonable value for money, however because of the shortage of caravan sites in Broome at peak time you must expect to pay premium prices. Management were very friendly and accommodating especially when we requested to extend our stay. Caravan parks in Broome are at an absolute premium and this one still accepts bookings.

This is a nice park and at $45 (powered) is priced a bit cheaper than others which were $50, 1 km out of town centre and 3.5km from the port. The amenities are old but clean, though stained with age, the grass is all but gone due to water restrictions so it leaves just red dirt under foot. Some sites have pads and we are lucky to get one, laundry with $3 washing machines are provided as are gas BBQs with shelters and seating, but we didn't see a camp kitchen, and a dump point is outside the gate. There are a few permanents in the park but they are not in a particular area, just mingled with tourists, onsite cabins and chalets are available. There is a pool but no other play equipment for kids. The staff were friendly, and helpful Gas bottles are filled by park staff at cheaper rates than a servo.

Much of park is occupied by cabins and ensuite caravan sites; the latter can apparently be booked ahead but a good deal of notice is required for high season. Normal powered sites cannot be pre-booked and are allocated on a first come first served basis. Once in park you can stay as long as you like, provided notice of extension is given by 4pm the previous day. We stayed on a powered site in high season, July, and park was full by lunchtime on almost every day. A small overflow area is located near the entrance. Reception was friendly and park layout explained, but we were left to find the site ourselves. Powered sites are divided over two area. The first area is near the entrance, set back from the road and comprises 22 sites around an amenities block. These appear well shaded, if rather cramped. The second area is at the southern end of the park, adjacent to the main road and comprises 42 sites, most with shade but some with no shade. All sites are gravel, with very little grass around. Good water and sullage to all sites. We stayed in the second area and found it very noisy from traffic during the day, but reasonable overnight until about 5am. Amenities for first area were not visited but appeared adequate. Amenities for second area were totally inadequate for high season, with 2 toilets and 2 showers in the men's and 2 toilets and 4 showers in the ladies, meaning queuing to use toilets in the early morning. Only 2 washing machines in this area also totally inadequate. Maintenance and cleaning was reasonable, but ventilation was poor. Showers had no mats or curtains; no mop was provided. Digital locks on the amenities doors were very difficult to use and seemed totally unnecessary given the park was surrounded by a high fence. Other facilities included a good pool area, free gas barbecues, wireless Internet which kept dropping out, limited grocery items in reception, tour booking service. No toilet dump point - we were advised to use one at the BP station 3 kms away. High season charge of $33 2A for powered site considered acceptable, given this is Broome, but only fair value given lack of amenities. There are better (and worse) caravan parks than this in Broome. Would stay again only if no alternative.
Dislikes: Inadequate amenities. Traffic noise. Digital locks on amenities rather than keys, hard to see at night, difficult to open from inside.

The park accommodated nicely for dogs; they have their own dog walking track which was safe, as it was part of the park area not near the roadhouse side of things. The toilet and showers are new and cleaned daily. The swimming pool was not in use as the shire had not passed it as yet, but once open it will be very inviting. It is a 30km drive to Broome this was good as we did not have to put up with busy town life. It is $30 for a powered site per night and key and pet bond; we had no hassles with getting these back the rules where very normal. They have a tavern in the roadhouse which we had a lovely meal at and well priced. The atmosphere was great for both nights that we went over there for.

Our names are Sean & Pat Greene. We bought the busness in early 2007 from Ed and Floral. There are 25 bays, a very well appointed amenities and laundry block (with a disabled tiolet/shower).

We are pet friendly - provided they are on a lead and don't bark or bite.

Lady at reception was very helpful when checking in. Very little shade and lots of red dirt but that is to be expected considering it is the outback. Amenities appeared to be reasonably new and were clean. There are two lots of amenities. First night I had a shower pressure was not good and hot water was cool. Next night was great. Think this depends on time of day. We were warned by other travellers to lock up as there had been some thefts. However we did see the police patrolling through the park and had no problems. Good for a night or two stay. Cost was $32 2A per night. This seems to be about average for this time of the year.

Park doesn't take bookings, so first in gets best choice of site. Most sites are drive through, and we found no problems with our 20'6" caravan. Sites have annex slab that you share with another van, this means you are very close to your neighbour; there isn't room for both vans to put out an awning. However, it is roomy otherwise you are well away from other vans. Next to the slab are concrete wheel bases, so the site is very level and stable. Showers are awful, no dry area at all, and as the park is very dusty it meant that after one shower the whole floor in the facilities block was dirty. There was no plug, soap or towels provided for the basins. We declined to use the shower, so can't comment on the hot water, but the water to the van was reasonable. There was a pool but we didn't go and look at it so can't comment. There was a barbecue but it took $1 coins and looked like it hadn't been used for months, rusty and dirty. We found the park quiet on the night we were there. Price was as expected, reasonable value for money ($26 2A per night, powered). Suitable for overnighter.

Can use amenities block at main camp - some kms away. Rubbish bins at Station Township. Barbecues, shop, and bar at Station Township. Can draw water from river and 'swim' in shallows - not guaranteed crocodile safe. Generators permitted between 7 am and 7 pm. At $15 per person per night it is the same price as at the main camp where there is an amenities block, but didn't appear to have powered sites and generators not permitted. Average staff friendliness, staff offered tourist advice. Price was higher than expected ($30 2A per night unpowered). Peaceful. Suitable for few days.
Likes: Private bush and riverside location. Drives, walks and boat rides in a very scenic location.
Dislikes: Expensive for no amenities.
Parking: Plenty of room to park rigs.
Added Touches: Saturday night barbecue at Township - payment required. Leaflets with details and maps of drives and walks available at shop.
Local Information: Don't miss Zebedee Hot Springs (open only in mornings) and Emma Gorge (very cold water).
Roads: Dirt tracks, some water crossings.

Good value for money ($11 2A per night unpowered). Amenities are close to most sites, were clean, condition is good, water pressure is good. Mostly level sites. Wood bbq. Suitable for few days.
Likes: Lovely location at Windjana Gorge. Generator area smaller and 'quieter' than quiet camping, and closer to the range and gorge. Priced at $10 per person, discounted to $5.50 each for seniors card holders. Cold showers and flush toilets a bonus in a National Park Campground. Water was warm during day due to climate. Taps around campsite.

This huge park is in a lovely location, however far too many trees in the section we stayed in and not a lot of light during the day. If you want to use a satellite dish, suggest you request a site out the back with less trees as it is impossible in this section as you can hardly see the sky. Also has dusty sites, but back section is grass. 2 amenity blocks for a huge park, but it seemed to cope as the park was full. After recent wet season, a ute comes between 5 and 7 pm every Thursday and sprays for mosquitoes and sandflies, this happens we are told in every caravan park here. So if it affects you, suggest stay out for a while. Very friendly staff, staff offered tourist advice, staff explained park layout and facilities.

This park was very disappointing which was a shame as it is in a lovely location. From the outside it looks lush, green and very impressive but once you move past reception you are amongst the permanent vans, all of which were very old and untidy. The 2 amenity blocks are in the centre of the permanent vans. The tourist area seems to be a recent addition as the trees are quite small and there is no shade. There were lots of young campers when we visited and the amenities were constantly dirty. We wouldn't stay here again even though the staff were lovely. Very friendly staff. Reasonable value for money ($29 2A per night, powered, peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to only some sites, cleanliness was average, condition is reasonable, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, soap provided, dry change area, paper towels/dryer provided.

Very crowded 'in season' with sites small and close to each other. More room in the less sought unpowered areas. A lot of seasonal workers, including young backpackers from overseas.

Likes: Nice; on outskirts of town backing onto a NP. Quiet and scenic location yet only mins from town CBD. Hot water always hot, even when there is a queue for the showers. Helpful staff.
Dislikes: Crowded - very small sites, campers packed closely together. Showers with water running from cubicle to cubicle and drainage along back of showers. Not enough washing machines or clothes lines to cope with needs of seasonal workers and tourists. Only two taps for four bays with taps and power outlets not close to all sites; need long hose and long power cord (office will help with long power cords if needed).

For a BIG4 5 STAR park this is not up to scratch. They give a whole new meaning to the words "stacking them in". We were pre-booked with a camper trailer and they had been advised of the size. Taken to the site on arrival and the Manager Gary said it was too small so we were found another site. Reasonable amount of room for trailer and squeezed in the car (could reach out and shake hands with neighbours inside their tent and camper). By next morning the place was more than full and there were campers etc on any available space, however small, with cords running everywhere. We use BIG4 parks a lot and not overly impressed with this one. Amenities were reasonable, undercover BBQ area okay. Managers and older staff very friendly. Some of the younger staff members need a bit of education in customer service. Very rude and short with customers. Don't know how long managers have been there but although they were nice and friendly, general consensus was that they were a bit overwhelmed by it all. Price was as expected, reasonable value for money.

A nice park but over-rated at five stars. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice park but compared to many others it's just not five star. Sites vary in size from small to large but on many the surface is just dirt. Some of the sites are so far away from the power poles that you have to ask for extension leads. When you book in you are taken, via a golf cart, to see your site. It takes a bit of time, especially at peak periods but it does save that driving around the park trying to decipher the mudmap you've been handed. There are two amenity blocks. The shower cubicles are quite spacious and there are sufficient hooks, bench space etc to enable you to dress and undress in comfort. Showers are hot and strong but, even though each shower has its own drain hole, because the dividing walls don't come down to the floor, water flows from cubicle to cubicle. There is a good pool area, small playground and three BBQs, two of which are designated as camp kitchens. One of these is just a BBQ area with a roof over, the other has a microwave and an oven, the latter not being much use as the door didn't close properly. Staff are friendly and helpful and you can book tours through reception. Suitable for any length of stay.

Ideal location on shores of Lily Lagoon with beautiful view across to the Sleeping Buddha. Easy walk to town centre. Sites very large and shaded - too shaded in our case, as we could not get a signal on our satellite dish because of the trees. One can't have everything. Grass was sparse to non-existent because of the shade, so it was dust and leaves underfoot. Power and water to sites but little or no sullage. Small and well maintained saltwater pool, playground, internet room, kiosk, book exchange etc. Amenities well maintained and clean, but barely adequate for numbers during the winter peak. Laundry was definitely overtaxed and it was difficult to obtain a machine. Despite a few shortcomings, a pleasant park suitable for an extended stay. Price of $28 2A for powered site considered reasonable.

The park backs onto Lily Lagoon which is very pretty. A lot of the sites are odd shapes and sizes and can be awkward to get into.

Likes: Being near the lake with plenty of birdlife.
Dislikes: Sites are very tight and awkward to get into. Sites with shade are very dusty. Some sites are at best semi grassed. When these sites are vacant they flood them with water which means you have to setup in a wet soggy site. Not ideal.
Added Touches: Restaurant and bar on site.
Local Information: We did a day trip to El Questro, Emma Gorge is spectacular. The Hoochery Distillery is worth a look.

Nice location backing onto lagoon. Most sites are very tight with some being a real test of reversing skills. We were able to choose our site and managed to score one the bigger ones - this is not the norm in peak period. The only park in town that allows pets although you are in a designated pet only area and pets aren't allowed into the non pet area. The sites vary between being very dusty to being flooded when they are watered. Rate is a little pricey but not unusual in this part of the world. Average staff friendliness. Reasonable value for money ($34 2A per night, powered, peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to all sites, were clean, condition is good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, soap provided, dry change area, paper towels/dryer provided. Some unlevel sites, no sites with concrete annex slabs, very few sites are shaded, hard to negotiate into site, adequate taps close by. Basic laundry, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 3). Quiet, claustrophobic park. Pets allowed, on leash at all times, bond applies. Clean pool is shaded, tables and chairs provided. Suitable for a week or more.
Likes: Location to lagoon is and swimming pool are nice.
Dislikes: Small sites and segregation of those with dogs.
Added Touches: Restaurant on site.
Local Information: Mirima National Park is only 2kms away and really is a mini bungle bungles. A must see. Hoochery Distillery is interesting.

Manager's name is Carol Shaw. This park is on the eastern edge of Lake Kununurra (Lily Creek Lagoon) and if you are fortunate enough to get one of the water front sites you will have a magnificent view, all other sites are crammed in with none or very little view of the water. Bookings are not taken so you need to get to Kununurra early, especially during the peak season which is May to September, if you want a powered site as the park fills up very quickly. If you have a pet this is the only caravan park in Kununurra that accepts pets. We had problems with overhanging branches but the maintenance man removed them very promptly. Friendly staff, staff explained park layout and facilities. Price was higher than expected, reasonable value for money ($27 2A per night, powered, peak season). Amenity number would not cope in peak times, are close to most sites, were clean, condition is reasonable, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, dry change area, paper towels/dryer provided, exhaust fans/good ventilation, disabled facilities. Adequate number of tourist sites, all level sites, good night lighting, small sites, hard to negotiate into site, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. basic laundry, no rec room, disabled facilities, dump point, van parking. Quiet, open and roomy, plenty of shade, family/friendly atmosphere, too many permanents. Dirty UC gas bbq (free), dismal bbq area atmosphere, bbq area lighting, seating provided at bbq. No playground. Clean pool is shaded, kid-safe pool area, tables and chairs provided. Suitable for any length of stay, suitable for families, park is considered kid-safe.
Likes: The setting.
Dislikes: We were charged a surcharge to use our credit card. Very little work appeared to be done around the park. The lock on the door for the disabled toilet wasn't working. There is no soap in the amenities. The floor in the dry change area in the showers got wet. In spite of Kununurra having plenty of water washing of cars and vans was not permitted.
Parking: Outside reception
Added Touches: Sails cafe and Bistro open for breakfast, coffee/tea/cakes, lunch and dinner. Friday nights has a speciality of Barra and Chips. Durack Steakhouse is an a la carte restaurant open from Wed - Sun. Self drive bbq pontoon boats are available for hire.

Park is no longer a Top Tourist member. Half the park is closed and is being converted to cabins only, the other half will be converted when this is finished. Nice shady park, most sites have an annex slab plus a concrete driveway for your car, ours had only dust. Reasonable facilities, although no shower curtain, soap or towels. Although the park was full there were always plenty of free showers. Office does free tour bookings and were very helpful. Park is on the edge of the industrial zone, so traffic and factory noise starts early, then pub on other side can be noisy at night. Very friendly staff, staff offered tourist advice, staff explained park layout and facilities. Price was higher than expected, reasonable value for money ($30 2A per night, powered, peak season). Inadequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, good night lighting, average sized sites, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by.

Very friendly reception, park and locality layout explained, mud map provided. Large park, very well shaded, roomy sites with power, water and sullage to most. On red dirt but this IS the outback! Water pressure low but water quite drinkable. 240 volt power available 24 hours. Well stocked store on site, public phone takes Phonecards only, no mobile signal or TV reception. Amenities have been replaced since 2007 and are now a centralised set of ensuite units. Very clean and well maintained, showers have curtains, bath mats and mop and bucket provided, equipped with fans. Water pressure and temperature a little less than usual but satisfactory. Generally adequate for number of sites except when everybody returns from fishing at the same time and wants a shower. Well lit at night. Port Smith comprises just the caravan park and a bird park and garden 400m further down road. Latter is a must to see with huge range of aviaries and oasis-like gardens, and alone worth visiting Port Smith. Other than that, only activities are fishing and mud-crabbing, or "chilling out", and away from park its definitely 4WD only territory. No "port" as such, only a mangrove lined lagoon and miles of tracks. Staff said it was quite safe to swim in lagoon at high tide, as no crocodiles this far south. Many residents come here for whole of winter for the fishing. Price of $28.50 2A for powered site considered reasonable given remote location.

As the name suggests in addition to accommodation this park provides 4WD Bus Tours, Helicopter Scenic Flights and Station Tours. Still under development but a range of accommodation available. As there may be seasonal closures wise to contact park in advance. Ph 0411 983 464 or 1300 Bungle (1300 286 453). Powered sites $45.00 2A per night. May seem dear but its location allows you to access Bungle Bungles from sealed roads except for last 750m. Park is 106 kms N of Halls creek and then 750m in on way in to the Bungle Bungles. This enables you to travel to Bungle Bungles without van, a distance of 55 kms which takes 2 hrs. At present there are 2 amenity blocks each of 4 flushing toilets/hot showers. Water pressure low and better ventilation needed but great in a remote area. Has a bush restaurant and at $20.00 for a 3 course meal including a damper this is a must.

This park opened this year and is the closest park to the Purnululu National Park. It was extremely busy and as a result very dusty. They have established a few grass strips next to some sites. Sites mainly level, no concrete slabs. Water to most sites. Big rigs may need to park in the camping area which was very dusty. Very little shade. Amenities were ensuite style, were clean and were not coping in the busy period due to tour groups also using the facilities. Poor value for money, powered sites $45 2A, unpowered $35 2A per night. Meals available, no liquor licence. Van storage available for $20 per night unpowered. Take all rubbish with you or pay extra $20. OK for a couple of nights. Bookings essential in the peak period. No dump point.
Likes: Close to the national park. We felt safer leaving the van there than at the nearby Spring Creek Rest Area.
Dislikes: Tour desk staff with little English who did not understand our booking and who put back our pre-booked helicopter flight to fit a tour group on. Roadside bins on the highway near the park were full to overflowing as people emptied their rubbish after leaving. Too expensive for what you get at present but with a lot of work during the off-season we are sure things will improve.

This was a lovely little park, with friendly staff, however it was let down by a lot of dogs left by the local indigenous community after leaving during the flood who have not returned.

Small park, about a dozen powered sites plus unpowered camping area, water supplied to powered sites. Dusty, some grass, reasonable shade on some sites. Amenities reasonably clean but very tired and inadequate for number of people staying there - gents had 1 toilet, 2 showers. Several permanent workers on site and are early starters so morning rush begins early. Pool seemed reasonably clean but too cold to use. Roadhouse sells all fuels, has takeaway food, restaurant and reasonable supply of groceries. Fuel must be paid for before filling up. Only reason to stay would be to leave caravan while going in to Bungle Bungles. Helicopter flights also operate from roadhouse. Generally the park is run down because a new caravan park has been constructed on the other side of the highway and is only awaiting power and water connection before opening. This has large and partly shaded sites (trees still growing) with new amenities and this should be a great improvement. There is also a secured area where caravans can be left unattended at a small cost. Price of $28 2A for powered site not particularly good value for what you get, but this IS the outback! Suitable for very short term stay until new park opened.

Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, concrete annex slabs to most sites, shade to some sites, adequate taps close by. Quiet, open & roomy park, not enough shade, a few permanents. Dirty pool is shaded, tables and chairs provided. Suitable for overnighter.
Dislikes: Not well maintained park.

The park really needs some maintenance and upgrading. The sites are large, shady, most have concrete slabs. The amenities are old, dimly lit, fairly clean. Did not use the showers as they looked difficult to use without getting all your gear wet. They do not take bookings and you select your own site. There is no dump point. Whilst here make sure you go up to the Five Rivers Lookout at sunset; it is magic. Also about five or six kms before you get to the town on the right there is a dirt road that goes into a wetlands lagoon. Well worth a visit. We saw Jabirus, crocs and heaps of other birdlife; just as good as Kakadu. Price was as expected, reasonable value for money ($25.00 2A per night, peak season). Adequate number of tourist sites. Suitable for few days.
Likes: The large shady trees
Dislikes: The amenities
Added Touches: There is a small kiosk van near the entrance that for a few nights a week sells Barra n Chips; good value and great food.

First impressions were: quite an attractive park with lots of mature trees but, once we were parked, we could see long grass, lots of out-of-control weeds, broken rocks lying around, etc. The office is closed from 11am to 2.30 pm so if you arrive between those times you find a site and pay later. There are two amenity blocks, which were quite well maintained but with very little natural light, were dark and gloomy. The lights were not switched on until lighting-up-time so if you went for a shower in the hour or two prior, it was very difficult to see what you were doing. In both blocks the cubicles are very small, in one of the blocks the cubicles have no bench or anywhere to put your stuff whilst showering. Showers were hot and strong. There is a nice shaded pool with chairs around. A quiet, peaceful park, which is suitable for one or more nights

A very pleasant open and roomy park, with level sites and concrete pads, well spaced apart. Some shady trees. Two amenities blocks with older one needed a little TLC. Stay three nights and get one free. One disability access bathroom. Friendly old donkey roams through park. Friendly staff. Price was as expected, very good value for money ($25 2A per night powered). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to all sites, were clean, condition is very good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, average sized sites, concrete annex slabs, adequate taps close by. Good laundry, disabled facilities. Quiet, open & roomy park, family/friendly atmosphere. Clean pool. Suitable for a week or more, suitable for families, well maintained park.
Likes: Nice open feeling, in a quiet location close to town.
Parking: Inadequate room to park if more than one caravan waiting
Local Information: Five Rivers Lookout on the Bastion in a well maintained hill top picnic area, with several lookout car parks on the way up the hill. Ideal at sunset. Barbecues and toilet provided at these well maintained facilities. Tour operators area with toilets at base of hill also suitable for leaving a caravan rather than taking it up to the top.
