🌊 Natural Springs of Turkey: Wild Camping by Thermal Waters

🌿 Why Camp by Thermal Springs?

Imagine this: It’s early morning. Mist rises gently from a quiet pool of steaming water as birds begin to sing. Your tent is pitched just a few meters away, warmed by the natural heat of the earth. There’s no one around. Only you, the warmth, and the sky.

Camping by natural hot springs isn’t just scenic — it’s restorative. These mineral-rich waters offer:

Physical relief (great for sore muscles after hiking)
Emotional balance (nature + warmth = peace)
A magical atmosphere (especially at dusk or dawn)

🗺️ 4 Hidden Hot Springs in Turkey (with Google Maps)

♨️ 1. Göle Hot Spring (Ardahan)

🗺️ View on Maps

A wild spot deep in Eastern Anatolia. Quiet, vast, and breathtaking. You can camp near small streams or even set up by the snowy ridges in colder seasons — and slip into the hot spring as the steam curls up into pine-scented air.

💧 2. Dereköy Thermal (Kütahya)

🗺️ View on Maps

Almost completely unknown to foreign travelers. Surrounded by woods and birdsong, this spring has open grassland nearby perfect for tent camping. The locals believe it heals joint pain and broken hearts alike.

🌫️ 3. Haruniye Thermal Waters (Osmaniye)

🗺️ View on Maps

Tucked into the foothills of the Nur Mountains, Haruniye’s water emerges from ancient rocks. There’s a waterfall nearby where you can shower under cold mist after soaking in warmth.

🌾 4. Çiftehan (Niğde Province)

🗺️ View on Maps

This spring lies on the edge of the Taurus Mountains. While there are formal facilities, wild camping is possible in the surrounding pine forests. If you wake early, you’ll see fog curling between the trees like silk.
