Sheltered riders' camping ground on rough land between Tokuşlar and Kınık, with a fountain and a trough.

Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "listed in a map or guide listing" appear on OpenStreetMap, in a travel guide or in the route society's list of campsites, but could not be confirmed on their own website in 2025-2026. Campsites are open ground with a fountain, not staffed sites. Only the towns have hotels and teachers' guesthouses (öğretmenevi); most villages have no guesthouse at all. In a village, ask at the teahouse (kahve) for a guest room (köy odası) or a place to pitch your tent, and offer to pay. Carry a tent and cash in Turkish lira.
