Recreational Fisher Camping Permit
Three campsites on the Tiwi Islands, only accessible by boat, are available for up to seven days for recreational fishers. They include Camp Point, Robertson Creek and Shaggy's (Tinkanrow) Campsites. Although these campsites are located in the Permit Free Fishing Access Zone, a permit is still required to camp. The Tiwi Land Council requires a minimum of 30 working days to process Camping Permit applications. Permits must be carried at all times.
