Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
One of the best places we've camped at in Turkey. Here you'll find a wonderful river that is not freezing cold but still very nice to cool down during the summer heat. Also the river is clean (besides some minor algae), slow flowing and deep enough for a good swim. Many trees to sit in the shade too. We saw no people here, no goats/sheep, no trash, just beautiful nature.
You can reach this spot by following Google maps and any OSM app like maps.me to this point: 36.9779964, 28.5815613.
Then you will have to drive into the riverbed and continue to the pinned coordinates (see attached screenshot for the route). You will cross the river twice. The first time is super shallow with firm ground, second time is a bit deeper (30-40 cm) with somewhat softer ground. When we were here 4wd shouldn't be necessary but this might depend on the season and weather. River was very low when we were here (not like you see on Google maps satellite view) but some decent ground clearance was necessary due to some bigger rocks in the riverbed.
The only downside is the limited internet reception (with Turkcell) but that shouldn't matter in an otherwise perfect spot like this.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
