I am planning a driving trip to Turkey in my motorhome and would be very gratefull of any information from locals and recommendations for campsites. My first Turkish stopover will be Istanbul, and would prefer to stay somewhere outside the city and use public transport for visiting. From there I will tour along the coast to Bodrum and then plan again from there. If there are places where I can wild camp safely I would like to know. Also if anyone knows of any web sites for this sort of travel.

When you say "wild camp" you mean in a tent in the wilderness? Requiring a small spade?? Or are you referring to stopping in your camper van?

Wild camping is parking in car parks overnight or open spaces, sometimes near a beach.Some countries allow it and in others it is illegal.

hi
In the Bodrum area I have seen camper vans parked in lay-bys overlooking the sea - I think they have mainly been in designated view points and picnic areas. There are also a few camp sites in the area.
Do you have room in your suitcase???

Hi tinababy
Thats the sort of thing I´m on about, but its knowing whether its legal or not.
As for "room in suitcase" - thats the beauty of a motorhome, you don´t need one, but the possibility of a travelling companion is on the cards to share the expenses.

would love to join you but think work might have a problem if I take that much time off!! But let me know when you are in the area and hopefully I will be there and we´ll meet up - maybe you can park on the drive overnight?????
As for whether or not it is legal - I haven´t seen many police moving people on but................ kim bilir??
Maybe a loval resident would know better?? I´ll ask some friends and see if they know.

Thanks that would be great, but its going to be a while before I do this trip, like you say work gets in the way, but I am planning early retirement, however I am hoping to fly out there in May to visit friends in Turgutreis so maybe we can meet up for a coffee or something
