Located in the coastal district of Kocaeli, which shoulders the industrial burden of the Marmara Region, Kerpe Gebeş Camping is a hidden paradise for those looking to escape from the surrounding metropolises thanks to developed highway networks. It is possible to reach this unique seaside town in approximately 140 kilometers from İstanbul via the Northern Marmara Highway in 1.5 - 2 hours (by car). Holidaymakers departing from the neighboring megacity Bursa can follow a route of approximately 170 kilometers over the Osmangazi Bridge, arriving at the facility with a comfortable journey of about 2 hours (by car). For guests wishing to reach the green of the Black Sea from the capital Ankara, the estimated distance is about 360 kilometers via the Anatolian Highway, and this journey takes an average of 3.5 - 4 hours (by car).
The facility is located in a stunning coastal area where the pine forests of the Kandıra district, which is approximately 60 kilometers away from the bustling city center of Kocaeli, embrace the sea. Since there is no regular public transportation alternative directly entering the region, the use of personal or rental vehicles is almost essential for a smooth logistics process. Although the roads after the Kandıra turnoff are generally flat and asphalted, it is necessary to be prepared for stabilized and slightly dirt surfaces when entering the campsite due to the coastal structure. Guests who prefer public transportation should use the district minibuses from İzmit Bus Station to Kandıra and Kerpe and complete the remaining short distance by taxi, which is the most reasonable solution.
This boutique seaside establishment, designed for guests who want to leave behind the challenges of traditional tent life, is equipped with comfort elements of camping culture. The continuous hot water infrastructure and regularly cleaned bathroom facilities maintain high hygiene standards in the common areas. The biggest attraction of the facility is that guests can freely barbecue and grill in the shaded areas allocated to them, as long as they stay within the safety limits. It should be noted that this is an open-air facility located directly in the heart of nature. During the day, the warmth of the sun can be replaced at night by the humid coastal breeze of the Black Sea, and it is important to be prepared for practical natural risks such as seasonal insect or pest movements that may occur due to the wooded location, as well as the sound of waves being heard loudly on windy days, which will enhance the enjoyment of the camping experience.
