The Shire of Broome has authorised the opening of temporary caravan/camping sites to meet demand during the height of the tourism season.
The opening of the limited number of sites coincided with the unexpected temprary closure of the Gibb River Road from Tuesday June 27, due to foreceast unseasonal flooding later in the week.
People who intend to stay in Broome until the Gibb River Road reopens and can't access caravan park/camping accommodation can try Broome's Gateway Pet Friendly Caravan Park or the temporary camping grounds in town listed below, which opened at the weekend.
Spots are limited and not all sites have power and maximum stay times apply.
