NEW TOPSY SITES
OLD Topsy Sites are currently closed and are NOT accessible for camping. We have created 4 NEW sites
Topsy Creek Coastal Camps are the most popular camps on our Kowanyama lands, particularly for those who are visiting with families.
The campsites themselves sit a stones throwback from Topsy Creek inlet and have access to barge landing so you can drop your boats. This means, besides relaxing and enjoying the environment, campers can fish either from a boat or off the beach where the Topsy Creak meets the Gulf of Carpentaria. Boats can be moored nearby.
These are new sites
Both crabbing and fishing is good at Topsy. Common catches include grunter, silver and pikey bream, barramundi, king and blue salmon, trevally, queenfish, and black jewfish.
Camping Area Features
