The first camp at Anatori is a high camp by the beach which is popular but there isn’t much space. Right on the edge of the Anatori River Mouth it’s quite exposed and not really suitable for large vehicles. If you travel a little further you will come to the river, where there is plenty of room. It’s flat with easy access and has a safe, shallow river with a good swimming hole. This site is more sheltered, however apparently it’s prone to flooding during heavy rain.
To get to the end of the road, from the Anatori river, cross the ford and travel about 12km to the Turimawiwi River.
