Broome Pistol Club & Overflow Caravan Park

The Broome Pistol Club & Overflow Caravan Park on Port Drive, Minyirr, is a practical overflow caravan and camping site in the Cable Beach area. It is a van and tent park rather than a cabin stay, and dogs are permitted to stay overnight on your own site, which makes it one of the more workable options in town when the regular parks are full.

Dogs at the overflow park

Dogs are welcome on or inside your own caravan, camper or tent, and they must be kept on a leash while in the overflow camping area. There are no officially listed size limits, and user reports do not point to a fixed pet fee, though confirm any costs directly when you arrive. Specific control requirements are communicated at check-in, so have your setup ready to discuss them with the volunteers before you settle in.

Worth knowing

Expect a functional overflow park rather than a full-service holiday park: powered and unpowered sites, a camp kitchen, washing machines and clean showers. It is run by volunteers on a first-come, first-served basis, so there is no advance booking to rely on in peak season. The land is shared with the Broome Pistol Club, and shooting-range activity can carry across the grounds periodically, which is worth knowing if your dog reacts to sudden noise.

Getting there

The site is at 251 Port Dr, Minyirr WA 6725, on the eastern edge of the Cable Beach area, a short drive from the beach ramp and Gantheaume Point. Broome's town centre and Chinatown are about 10 minutes away, and the park suits travellers wanting a simple, budget-friendly stop near Cable Beach rather than resort facilities.

Close by with the dogs

For a meal or coffee with the dog in town, try The Green Mango Cafe or Matso's Broome Brewery. If you would rather book ahead with more facilities, RAC Cable Beach Holiday Park takes dogs on designated sites.
