Broome Bird Observatory

This is a beautiful place to camp with lovely bush sites and good facilities. It is not for everyone - mobile reception is not available at the sites and there is no smoking. If you like to keep nature at arms length, this is not the place for you. If you are happy to coexist and shower with lots of cute little green frogs and switch off to enjoy your surrounds, this is the perfect spot to do it!

Beaut spot for bird watching and meeting bird watching people. The campsite is fine. The amenities are great -- camp kitchen, shower/toilet, drinking water. The road in is a bit rough but not that bad for the area. Note that some of the campsites might be a bit small for caravans etc. Some good walking along the shoreline and to the mangrove swamps. No swimming due to crocs I'm told.

Google fix your directions to Broome Bird Observatory!!! (Follow website directions). Dirt road. Nice quiet low key eco-friendly place to observe and learn about birds. Staff are knowledgeable, visitors centre had some interesting info and activities for the kids. Bring binoculars to be able to see the shorebirds. We enjoyed watching the birds in the birdbath while having lunch in the shadehouse.

Most amazing close encounter with a pair of black shouldered kites at the covered hide. They came in to use the floor drinking space as a personal bird bath! All of this watched by a wild wallaby. Lots of birds around in the trees and one majestic pelican out at sea!

Loved the red sandy unsealed road to the Observatory. You can use campground facilities like flush toilets and shade house ( Camp kitchen). Information Center was air-conditioning and entrance fee is payable but didn't went due to time shortage. Went for 800m beach access walk and there is another 2km walk. Best to go early morning or late afternoon for bird watching.

Great kitchen best I have seen. Spotless. Had breakfast watching walabys through the window. Great showers. Great beach walks

Was so amazing to spend 3 nights at the Bird Observatory in a double room. All the amenities clean to use. Kitchen in the Shadehouse perfect. I had all my yummy food there stored safely in the fridges provided, and cooked up fresh healthy meals for myself each night. Did 2 bird tours was breath taking. Thanks for the pick up and drop off guys. I take my hat off to Ben & Olivia Patrick, Max, & Caroline you do a fabulous job. I will share my photos & experience with my family friends & the locals. Everyone should visit this world renowned wonder and the new Observatory. All the very best for the future.

Only managed to stay a night due to needing to accommodate in town but service was magnificent. Helped and attended with all of my needs during my stay.

This is my happy place. True bush camping with nature in action all around. Accommodation is rustic, but who cares? In this environment it is all about the birds and wildlife. The shadehouse camp kitchen overlooking the bird baths is amazing. The wardens and volunteers are awesome and the new resource centre is incredible.
