Broome's Gateway Accommodation - 3000 Broome Highway, Broome - a different type of CP - has no powered sites - but DOES have water!

Facililties are individual shower/toilet units (shower with a friend) - very clean, and water is hot (powered by solar) -laundry ,with three machines, plenty of clothes lines (bit high for a shorty though -  heaps of room, mostly large sites - sausage sizzle around the fire pit on Wednesday nights ($2 to charity) .

June 2014 - $30 site, very reasonable, for Broome.

We are at the Pistol Club in Broome, $35 a night.  We checked out the Gateway, but it`s 60 ks round trip to Broome.

Gateway was $20 last year according to a fellow we meet in our travels. He was working their building the toilets etc.

 

All the parks in Broome are booked out.

Pistol cub (overflow camp) only allowed to open after PCYC (another overflow) is fully booked - I was advised that the shire president owns main caravan park on beach.
As an aside they will be looking for another volunteer host for PCYC next winter - three days on six days off 9.00am til 4.30pm, no pay but free campsite with power.
