Turkey - Black Sea coast and the east
 

We heading across Turkey to Iran via the Black Sea coast.
We would prefer to camp but struggling to find much information on camp sites etc.

Anyone any experience of camping in this region?
Recommendations of good stopovers?

Thanks,
Andy

Hi mate;

Turkey doesn't really do camping in terms of campsites very well. You can wild camp.

I'd say go to Kumbet if you can, it's kind of cool. The black sea coast is not a pretty as the roads that lead to it. If you have time zig-zag. Also go from Rize (Of) to Ispir and then to Erzurum. That is a road and a half.. it's amazing.

Would also like to say don't ignore Georgia and Armenia, a small d-tour but worth it. The Iran border is also quieter from what I hear.

Take care and have fun!
Oli

Are you there now?
I'm heading that way in July :mchappy:

In my case long gone mate, I'm in Thailand. Have fun though :) and ride safe!

We will enter Turkey 13th July and then exit 25th for Iran.

Ok - a couple of weeks after me...

Looks like might be heading Iran way as well... just trying to find a possible route around Pakistan atm

Here are some campsites in the north of Turkey. I also have some bushcamp and motel/hotel parking overnightplaces if you like.
