Caravanning and camping support a huge industry in Australia: at any time, there are thousands of people staying at parks and sites. During winter, travellers invariably move north to Queensland, the Northern Territory or the Kimberley. In summer, the drift is toward the southern beach resorts and national parks. During school holidays, booking ahead is recommended.
1 Broome, WA
Broome’s climate makes it a popular destination year-round and it has eight large caravan parks in and around town. Cable Beach Caravan Park and Roebuck Bay Caravan Park both border stunning coastline. Campers seeking quieter surrounds should try the Broome Bird Observatory. Bookings are essential year-round.
2 Esperance, WA
This remote former gold port borders a beautiful bay, and the adjacent headlands have magnificent views. Especially popular among a good range of caravan parks are the Esperance Seafront, just a short stroll from town along the beach, and Bathers Paradise, in a tranquil setting north-east of town. There is superb bush camping in Cape Le Grand National Park, notably at Lucky Bay, home to a large kangaroo colony.
3 Kununurra, WA
A modern town built to support the Ord River irrigation scheme, Kununurra makes a fine base for exploring the eastern Kimberley. Two caravan parks with good facilities border Lake Kununurra, Discovery Holiday Parks and Kimberleyland Holiday Park. Hidden Valley Tourist Park has tranquil sites next to Mirima National Park, a landscape of striped sandstone formations often described as a mini Bungle Bungles.
4 Katherine, NT
Warm, dry weather, good services and beautiful surroundings, including spectacular Katherine Gorge, make this a great place for an extended stay. Katherine Big4 Low Level Caravan Park occupies a pleasant riverside setting. From the shady sites at Riverview Tourist Village you can stroll to Katherine Hot Springs. Nitmiluk National Park has campgrounds at the gorge and Leilyn (Edith Falls) and bush camps along the river and major trails.
5 Alice Springs, NT
Tourist hub of the Red Centre, the Alice offers a wealth of camping options. The Wintersun Cabin and Caravan Park and the MacDonnell Range Holiday Park, just north and south of town, respectively, provide good facilities and easy access to the city’s attractions. Peaceful bush camps can be found at Ormiston Gorge, Redbank Gorge and other spots in West MacDonnell National Park.
