Anatoki Salmon is a salmon farm where you can fish for your own salmon, eat specialty salmon dishes, and where self-contained motor caravanners can park overnight.

 

This is a stunning tourist destination, especially on a sunny day. We arrived on Easter Monday afternoon, and there were lots of families trying their luck at catching a salmon. The fishing gear is free to try, and you can have you catch cooked for your lunch. Unfortunately, the only people we saw catching any fish were the pro fishermen who were catching salmon for the restaurant.

 

The toilets are only open during the day, and wifi is available at the Salmon Farm.

 

There is a large freedom camping area just before the main carpark. This would be a really nice quiet location to stay overnight.
