Before you Travel
The Cape Leveque Road is the main road on the Dampier Peninsula and is now fully sealed. A large 4WD is essential when visiting the peninsula as many of the campground and community access roads are unsealed and conditions vary throughout the year. These roads are typically dusty and corrugated with some soft sandy sections. Many are narrow with dense bush overhanging. During periods of wet weather (generally between November and April) these roads can be closed. Check road conditions with the Broome Visitor Centre or Shire prior to departure if there has been recent rain. Please drive carefully and make sure you have plenty of fuel and water.
