Kumcağınız Camping Area

Located in the Kandıra district of Kocaeli, Kumcağınız Camping Area is a comfortable nature getaway thanks to its developed highway infrastructure, quite close to large cities. The facility is approximately 150 kilometers from Istanbul and is an average 2 - 2.5 hour (by car) drive via the Şile-Ağva or North Marmara Highway. For holidaymakers coming from Bursa, the camping area is 180 kilometers away via the Osmangazi Bridge, with a journey time of about 2.5 hours (by car), while from the neighboring province Sakarya, it can be reached in 1 hour (by car) with a distance of 70 kilometers by following forest roads. The establishment is located in a forested area, away from the city's hustle and industrial structure, on the coastline of Kandıra, 55-60 kilometers from the center of Kocaeli. With completely asphalted roads, the facility offers comfortable access by car, and it can also be easily reached by public transport using the Kandıra-Kefken minibuses departing from Izmit Bus Station. This popular camping area, offering a boutique beach and forest retreat, provides clean indoor bathrooms and uninterrupted hot water infrastructure, unlike primitive camping conditions. There is also a powerful electricity and shading system that protects against the changing weather conditions of the Black Sea. One of the main reasons visitors prefer this facility is that they can freely barbecue in the designated shaded areas or communal green verandas. However, the most important thing that campers planning to travel to this area should know before making reservations is the natural conditions that arise due to its seaside location. For campers to have a comfortable experience, it is crucial that they come prepared and stocked against the high night humidity, sudden evening chill, and strong winds that may come from the sea.
