Laladere Piknik Alanı

I ask a lot from those who read this comment. If you are going to stop here for a picnic, please put your garbage and supplies in the bags we brought and throw them in the garbage on the way back. This place is really beautiful. The most beautiful forest floor view you will ever see. The trees are huge. Photography in all seasons. Absolute shade in summer. The trees are sparse but very tall so it is a very spacious area. The ground looks like it's carpeted with leaves. Usually beech trees. There is also oak. There are picnic tables. Entrance is free, but in summer the village headman's office in the area of responsibility may charge a small fee. There is a stream running right through the middle. It generally has clean water, but (I'm talking about 2023) it has dried up completely because the summer was very dry. There was no water. It's a wonderful place. If the sea is not a must, we have never had a better picnic adventure. I wish I had taken more photos. I didn't need it because I live in this area.

We have been here twice so far. Once we stayed for four days and once for two days. It is a good place for camping, it has a beautiful nature and it has good access to nearby villages and towns. The price is very good compared to other Alani camps. It has very good and friendly staff. But the toilets could be neater and cleaner than this, and of course it doesn't have a shower.

Even though it has a creek in its name and the stream does not flow, it is one of the best recreation areas in the vicinity. Entrance fee is 30 lira. If there is no picnic table where you will sit, they provide plastic tables and chairs. There is also a place to shop inside. Prices are almost the same as regular grocery stores. It makes more sense to get your cold drink from here.

One of the beauties of mother nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are giant trees and wonderful tent pitching areas along the stream. In short, the nature is wonderful. There is a dirt road extending inland from the main road and there is a sign. There is no network, no phone reception (Turkcell has some reception in some places). Wooden tables are available. .Current entrance fees are 20₺ per vehicle per day. They charge 25₺ per person for those who want to camp. There are garbage containers, toilets, children's playground, swings etc. There is also a restaurant. I gave one star less. The reason is that the toilets are in terrible condition and the operators do not intervene in any way against the single-celled creatures that disturb the people who come there to relax with the latest music.

A wonderfully beautiful place for camping. There are plenty of places to escape from the crowds of Istanbul and relax in the wide forest. It's great to have toilets and fountains. It also has a restaurant that is open until late at night and its prices are very reasonable. We'll definitely try it next time. The food smelled delicious. The entrance fee for a vehicle is 20 TL, and for camping it is 25 TL per person. The man at the door goes around collecting the fees in the evening. He is a very good brother, thank you. We felt very safe thanks to him. We also had a dog, he waited next to our car all night long, and made us love him like a child every time we went to him. Before we went, we saw videos with negative comments on YouTube, so we're glad we didn't give up. We finally found a place we will go back to again and again.

I can say that it is the full season for camping. Camping is free, only the entrance fee is 10 TL, all inclusive, and the number of people is not taken into account. The toilets are renovated and clean, if everyone who uses them leaves them clean, the fountains are available and the stream is ice cold. I only ask you to leave your garbage clean and carry it to the garbage bins because dogs can scatter your garbage. By the way, dogs are not aggressive and there is nothing to be afraid of.
