Traveling by caravan is truly everyone’s dream. It is interesting both to travel and to stay in the vehicle you are traveling with, especially camping spots close to Istanbul. We are sure that everyone has wanted to stay in a trailer at least once in their life. Some people can not experience this experience at all, some very little, but some make these trips completely passionately. Because the spirit of the trailer is different, people like to be free in essence. The soul of every individual loves freedom. Caravan travel is like that. There is no place that keeps you tied to a point, where you have to store your belongings or have to take a shower. Everything is in a vehicle! Yes, we know it sounds good.
Caravan Locations
Of course, some experiences may result in negative results in caravan travel, this is usually not being able to recognize the caravan travel. For example, you may not be able to use the heater very well, and you may not know how to save electricity. As such, your heater may not work in very cold weather, or there may be no electricity. As you know, solar energy is also required for the shower to work… That’s why we think it would be much nicer for those who prefer caravans, especially in winter, to have experienced this experience once in the summer. While editing this article about caravan travel, we wanted to give you a list of caravan places close to Istanbul. We’ll be talking about the top five RV venues. Let’s start!

Kocaeli – Sardala Bay
While we were talking about Gebze, we wanted to make suggestions for Kocaeli caravan sites without going too far . Sardala Bay, which can be easily visited by anyone residing in and around Istanbul, is only 1 hour away from Istanbul. In fact, you may not want to stay in one spot for caravan travel . Especially for the weekend, 2 locations close to each other can be preferred in our opinion. Sardala Bay will connect you with its magnificent view. There are hardly any restaurants nearby, so caravan travel is indispensable. The kitchen is already with you, how wonderful…
Kırklareli – Igneada Longoz Forests
Longoz forests are one of the fascinating forests that everyone watches with admiration. Igneada , the center of the world’s largest longoz forest , is very close to Istanbul. The locals use a name for this place in the form of “Subasar”. The reason is this: The floor of the Longozlar forests is actually covered with water. They mostly occur in places close to the sea, and they close the sand brought by the waters to the mouth of the stream as a set and are known as such. We recommend that you not only see the forest but also visit the lakes in Igneada. There are six different lakes named Saka, Mert, Pedina, Hamam, Deniz and Erikli within the Igneda Longoz Forest. A great place for caravan travel .
