A pleasant camping spot all year round where you can set up camp on the beautiful shores of Karag\u00f6l. There are private camp options available in the Karag\u00f6l Nature Park, with food and toilet facilites. It might be a good idea to stock up on any other supplies at Artvin or Bor\u00e7ka. Besides camping you can rent a boat and go on a lake tour. Make sure to climb the Efk\u00e2r Hill, to view the breathtaking views.<br>Ma\u00e7ahel Valley, which is under UNESCO protection, is one of the best places to set up camp in all of T\u00fcrkiye. Maral village is a pleasant camping site that overlooks the valley. You can stock up on supplies at the village and collect honey by visiting the beekeepers near the village.<br>In 2005, Unesco declared Maral \u015eelalesi (Maral Waterfalls) as T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s first biosphere reserve in the Man and Biosphere Programme. With beautiful surrounding nature and pristine water, this is another must see camping site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;Camili Gorgit Nature Reserve, which covers a forest area of almost 500 hectares, is a place where you can camp in the shade of monumental trees. Due to the migration route, you can see the migration of plenty of birds each season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mereta Yaylas\u0131 (Mereta Plateau)&nbsp;is especially good if you are planning a long camping trip during the summer. There are many areas you can explore in this rather large plateau. Before going to the plateau, it is useful stock on supplies at the city or district center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u015eav\u015fat campsites<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large td-caption-align-https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Savsat-iStock-1166881835.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Savsat-iStock-1166881835-1024x598.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Savsat-iStock-1166881835-1024x598.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Savsat-iStock-1166881835-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Savsat-iStock-1166881835-768x449.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Savsat-iStock-1166881835-696x407.jpg 696w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Savsat-iStock-1166881835-1068x624.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Savsat-iStock-1166881835-719x420.jpg 719w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Savsat-iStock-1166881835.jpg 1340w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are four excellent&nbsp;camping sites in \u015eav\u015fat. The first is&nbsp;Arsiyan Yaylas\u0131 (Arsiyan Plateau). The North and western sides of the plateau lie on the Georgian border. Il\u0131ca Village and P\u0131narl\u0131 Village lie to the South and Southeast, with Posof Village to the east. The Arsiyan Plateau is distinct from other plateaus, with its unique lakes, greenery and hot springs. You can camp amongst fields of sweet-smelling yellow flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another forerunner is the&nbsp;Sahara Yaylas\u0131 (Sahara Plateau), with astounding flora and fauna, an interesting topography and natural beauty, the Sahara Plateau is an ideal camping spot.<br>Bal\u0131k G\u00f6l\u00fc (Fish lake)&nbsp;is the final spot. It is shadowed by Karag\u00f6l, and not as touristic, but beautiful, nonetheless. You can camp by the lake in a tent, caravan or bungalow. Karag\u00f6l, \u015eav\u015fat is a place that offers natural beauties, just like Bor\u00e7ka.
