What you need to know about campervan hire Broome

Campervan hire Broome tips for the savvy traveller 

Broome International Airport is known as the ‘Gateway to the Kimberly’. It’s a remote outpost with very seasonal tourism. Broome campervan rental branches are usually closed between December and March during the wet season, but open 7 days a week between May and October. Branch hours vary and schedules may also be adjusted according to some widely-celebrated holidays, like Western Australia Day, Christmas Day, Queen's Birthday, Good Friday, Easter Monday (this is the Monday after Easter Sunday). Keep in contact with your rental provider in case you experience any delays so that other arrangements can be made. 

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 motorhome hire 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.

Campervan hire Broome: Where to go

With the Kimberly Region on its doorstep, Broome is a fantastic place to start or finish a campervan road trip. Here are just a few attractions to hit on your way: 

Dampier Peninsula

Head roughly 200 kilometres north in your Broome campervan to Cape Leveque for a unique and rugged adventure in this remote and beautiful section of the Kimberly. If you have more time, you can extend your trip to the famous Broome Courthouse Markets and do some shopping.

Eighty Mile Beach

Located halfway between Port Hedland and Broome, this sparkling stretch forms a 220km-long coastline where the Great Sandy Desert meets the Indian Ocean. 

Gorgeous gorges

Natural watering holes and spectacular rock formations can be found both northeast from Broome towards Kunnunara. You can also head southeast to discover Karanjini National Park in the heart of Western Australia's Pilbara region. It’s a very long drive no matter which way you go, and a 4WD is required for certain sections of these areas—this can depend on the weather.  

Exmouth

It’s many hours south to the Coral Coast, but the incredible marine life and magnificent beaches make it worth the trip. This is a must-stop destination if you’re making a one-way campervan hire trip from Broome to Perth. 

Take flight

Some attractions require more than four wheels. Take a scenic flight to the magical Horizontal Falls in Talbot Bay.  

Bungle Bungles

Make your way inland to the uniquely beautiful Bungle Bungle ranges along the Great Northern Highway. Flights overhead are also on offer.  

What our customers say

The booking enquiry was followed up with a phone call from Beate.She was so helpful patient and professional.
I felt so much better dealing with a person then online. She was able to explain everything to me (as this is the first time hiring a motor home) thanks for the great service.
MICHAEL & SALLY VERNON
On time and Correct
David Lewis
Everything was really great and good, smooth, and at a good price
Fredrik Videlycka
Gabriela is exceptionally professional, patient, and very caring when it comes to her customers. She went above and beyond, even going so far to inquire about foldable deck/garden chairs. Unfortunately I didn't get the size of the motorhome I was after, but that was due to my own lack of haste. In the end I had to settle for something much larger and more expensive. I can see why Motorhome Republic is so popular. Two thumbs up!
