Located in the rural area of Menteşe in Muğla, a certified tourism metropolis on a global scale in the Aegean, Emelin Yeri Çadır Camping offers a comfortable camping experience in an untouched nature. The facility, thanks to its developed road infrastructure, is located at a balanced distance from major cities, providing a hassle-free escape route in terms of logistics. It is approximately 210 kilometers from İzmir, accessible in 2.5 hours (by passenger vehicle) via the Aydın highway. For those coming from Istanbul via the Osmangazi Bridge route, the distance is 680 kilometers, and the journey takes 7-7.5 hours (by passenger vehicle), while holidaymakers following the route from Ankara to Denizli can complete the 600-kilometer journey in an enjoyable 7 hours (by passenger vehicle).
Unlike the bustling and concrete-populated tourist centers, the facility is located in a peaceful valley shaded by century-old trees in the Kandilli region of Menteşe, approximately 15-20 kilometers from the center of Muğla. Due to its rural and isolated structure, using a personal or rental vehicle to reach the facility is almost essential. For guests arriving without a car to this mountainous geography far from public transport networks, taking a taxi from Menteşe Bus Station is the most hassle-free logistical solution. The roads are suitable for mountainous conditions, well-maintained, and will not damage vehicles.
This "Boutique Forest Retreat" project, which compensates for the shortcomings of traditional camping culture, offers a clean indoor bathroom with uninterrupted hot water infrastructure instead of the shared toilet and shower hassle. The well-insulated units provide safe accommodation in the variable climate of the Aegean mountains, while guests have the freedom to light a barbecue fire and grill their own meat on the designated natural wooden verandas, which is the main reason for the facility's popularity.
However, one must be prepared for the real rules of nature. For those who are deceived by the daytime warmth, the sudden cold of the night, the natural insect and pest activity brought by the plant cover, and the steep rural roads are practical risks that must be known. A perfect holiday experience is only possible by accepting the autonomous rules of wild nature from the outset.
