Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
20 mins off the main road just outside the town of Derek. A good stop if heading East to Mardin.
The location has springs, swimming cave and waterfalls. There is some road and facility building as the town develops this into a picnic park.
From the park location, drive up onto the plateau where there is lots of flat ground and camping choices.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
Spot is super nice, spent here a night. On the next morning two boys with there sheeps and not so friendly looking dogs came by. They’d asked us for money. When we told them we won’t give them money, they got more an more aggressive. When we leave they kicked again the van and beat it with their sticks. Not auch a positive experience in auch a gorgeous country. So better look for another spot.
Report Check-InJust to add, don’t follow star Nav to get here, you end up stuck in olive groves. Look at Satellite maps and you’ll see a track just north of the location running East to the town of zderik - use this road.
We stayed an extra day here as it’s so nice to swim in the waterfall and walk in the hills. The local goat herder was super friendly, brought us cheese from his goats and joined us for a beer or 2. The locals are really kind here.
