Campervan hire Broome tips for the savvy traveller
Broome International Airport is known as the ‘Gateway to the Kimberley Region’. It’s a remote outpost with very seasonal tourism, mostly people who want to be conquerors of the Australian Outback. Some planning tips for camper van hire Broome:
Broome is a very busy holiday destination in the dry season. It hosts fantastic local events, sporting escapades, and natural spectacles each year. We recommend timing your road trip to catch the incredible ‘Staircase to the Moon’ phenomenon. Book your campervan rental Broome and campsites early to avoid getting caught out.
It pays to do research before you set off -- certain points of interest may require a 4WD vehicle for entry. If you want to explore sand dunes or go off the beaten path, be sure to rent a 4WD camper. Also, make sure you understand what types of off-roading is allowed on your rental contract.
There are no free camping options but there are several holiday and caravan parks where you can camp throughout the town. Tarangau Caravan Park is located within walking distance to restaurants and cafes; Broome Vacation Village Caravan Park is a safe spot for the whole family with outdoor pools and free BBQ facilities; and Cable Beach Caravan Park (formerly known as Palm Grove Caravan Park) has sites with a view of the camels going past each morning and evening.
There are long stretches of highway between towns, fuel stations, and roadhouses in this part of Australia. Always carry extra supplies of water, fuel, and food in case of a breakdown.
When you visit Broome, be prepared for extreme temperatures and try to avoid exertion during the hottest parts of the day.
Lock up your belongings and be aware of your surroundings. If you are not sure about a campsite or destination, ask fellow travellers and read reviews before setting up for the night. With any doubts about safety, go somewhere else.
