RV TRAVEL
Overnight free camp spots can be found throughout the region .
FUEL
The prices can vary within the Kimberley towns themselves , so it always pays to ask around for the best location and price . If you ’ re travelling the Gibb River Road or other dirt roads and looking to refuel , check fuel availability before embarking on that part of your itinerary .
While it ’ s not a common thing , there have been occasions when fuel tankers have been delayed , leaving stations and roadhouses without supplies for a few days at a time . And like any remote travel , carry a spare fuel filter and a funnel if you ’ re decanting from a jerry can .
You can ’ t rely on getting drinking water everywhere you go .
ACCOMMODATION
This is one area where there ’ s plenty of choice for visitors . From caravan parks and station stays , through to free camps , bush camps and luxury offerings , you ’ ll find the Kimberley delivers the lot . The peak period is normally between May and July , which sees an increase in both demand and price .
Unless you have some flexibility in your itinerary , you may want to get in early and book in advance with any of the places you are really wanting to stay . Check out the visitor centre links at the end of this article for more info , plus apps like Wikicamps for bush-camp locations .
WATER
While the Kimberley receives huge amounts of rainfall yearly , we ’ ve found water quality does vary . This also includes some town supplies where water has high levels of calcium . Other places , like national parks and some station stays , may also have water on tap , but it ’ s not always filtered and may need boiling before drinking .
PRICES
As with many things found in remote areas , transport and other costs can push prices up of some of the basics . The Kimberley is no different , and whether you ’ re paying for food , fuel , accommodation , spare parts , or simply a tour attraction , that ’ s part and parcel of visiting the region .
