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.
A nice spot overlooking the lake and with beautiful mountain views. Occasionally very friendly locals might pass by. Lots of birds around, jackals can be heard also. No shade whatsoever. Water is available at the mosque just after the turnoff from the main road about 4 kms away.
Swimming would possibly be better a few hundred metres south where there is more gravel near the water than at this spot. When we were here in mid November the water was too cold anyway :) A good place to rest for a couple of days.
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
Nice place at a cliff. Watershore was far away, like 2-3 km from the cliff, when we were there (26.10.2023). Easy to drive here even in a notmal car, no 4x4 needed when dry weather.
Report Check-InEverything as mentioned. There are several beautiful places along the coast of Dukan lake. 4x4 not needed. If you‘re searching for water entry for your dog/SUP,.., this one is the best, as it‘s not that trashy and not muddy: (36.1815655, 44.9549057). Coordinates of the mosque for water-refill: (36.2001691, 44.9863579)
