Discover Unbeatable Views
Roebuck Bay in Broome will soon be home to one of the North West’s premium family-friendly, resort-style holiday parks.
Discovery Parks - Broome is about to transform into one of Western Australia’s best family-friendly holiday destinations.
Already a popular camping spot just minutes from the centre of Broome and with stunning views of Roebuck Bay, ongoing developments in 2022 will take the property to a whole new level of comfort and relaxation in the heart of one of Australia’s most popular tourism centres.
Improvements will include a soon-tobe-completed resort-style lagoon pool with shaded areas that will overlook Roebuck
Bay and create a brand-new focal point for recreation and hospitality. Designed to be surrounded by pool-view studio cabins, this part of the development will become a relaxing hub for families, couples and solo travellers between excursions around Broome.
Another exciting part of the plan is the inclusion of more than 30 deluxe cabins and glamping tents, which should be available to book by March 2023. While these will mean an overall reduction in the number of campsites available on-site, they will enable a whole new audience to experience Roebuck Bay and Broome from an extremely enviable angle.
A new camp kitchen and barbecue facilities, new reception, new communal amenities blocks, ensuite sites and improvements to existing camp infrastructure round out a multimillion-dollar investment plan.
“The park needed an injection of money to upgrade the amenities, replenish the lawns and improve the reception area,” says Park Manager Margaret Hay.
“The campsite has always been quaint, but it was looking a bit worn, so we’re super excited about all the improvements and welcoming

“Each one will have its own balcony, so we can already imagine sitting back watching the sunrise with a champagne in our hand!”
Located right on Town Beach Roebuck Bay, and formerly known as Roebuck Bay Caravan Park, Discovery Parks - Broome has been the most popular camping spot in Broome for years. These improvements, including an increase in the number of ensuite campsites available to families, are likely to fuel that popularity while adding a touch of luxury to every camper’s experience.
“Ensuite campsites on the water’s edge will allow guests their own private bathroom and are sure to be in high demand,” says Margaret.
“We’re also building two new amenities blocks and refurbishing the existing two. Everything is being improved!”
Despite the changes, one thing that won’t need improvement is the view.
“The view here is like no other. The aqua blue seafront takes your breath away every time you see it, so to be able to relax, read a book and watch the hermit crabs walk up from the beach at dusk, it’s just magical.”
Work on the new amenities block, new reception, new camp kitchen and barbecue facilities is expected to be finished by the end of this year, while the lagoon pool overlooking Roebuck Bay is already nearing completion.
“The resort-style pool is going to be a great refresher in the wet season when the beach sometimes isn’t open for swimming. It’s also going to be a great new spot to hang out and just enjoy the location.
“We expect the views from the pool deck are going to be exceptional, especially at sunset and for Staircase to the Moon.”
Close to the centre of town and the convenience of shops and a variety of restaurants and entertainment, the development increases the overall quality and availability of accommodation in Broome.
Known as a gateway to the entire Kimberley region and a first or last stop on one of Australia’s most famous road trips, Broome offers so much for visitors, whether you’re going further or not. Worldclass beaches, unique national parks and unforgettable experiences on or under the water are just the beginning.
There is also a diverse history of immigration to explore, Indigenous art galleries, and much more.
As the only park located on the beach, Discovery Parks - Broome has uninterrupted views of the stunning waters of Roebuck Bay. Walk around the corner to the world-famous Cable Beach and after you’ve discovered Jurassic footprints at Gantheaume Point, take a sunset camel ride, explore incredible dunes, throw out a line or just watch Mother Nature in action – sea turtles hatch their young here between October and March every year.
Broome is getting even better. And we’re proud to be a part of it. Book at visitbroome.com.au/members/ discovery-holiday-parks-broome
