Gibb River Road with an off-road caravan
The Gibb River Road runs 722 km from Derby to Kununurra. With a 4WD towing an off-road caravan, you're looking at about 30 hours behind the wheel. About 482 km of it is unsealed.
We planned it on Motocamp's own router for a 4WD towing an off-road caravan, at the size in the table below, so every number here comes from a real plan, not a guess.
The stops: Derby · Imintji · Kupungarri · Ellenbrae Station · Home Valley · Kununurra
Is the Gibb River Road OK for a 4WD towing an off-road caravan?
Yes, on our plan. It gets through for a 4WD towing an off-road caravan without using a road signed too low, too short or closed to caravans. Here's what to keep an eye on.
- 482 km unsealed, the longest stretch 283 km on Gibb River Road, from km 307.
- No long climbs: the steepest kilometre is about 6%.
- The longest run with no fuel station on our map is 412 km, from km 308. Fill up before it.

Tell Motocamp what you drive, from an enduro bike to a 25-foot off-road caravan or a 10-metre motorhome, and it plans this trip for that vehicle: the roads it fits, the low bridges and closed roads to steer clear of, and places to stay on the way. The maps keep working where there's no signal.
