Turkish delight

Some campsites are more sophisticated than others.
You can get better showers…..20130410-224645.jpg

You’ll probably find more sophisticated washing-up and laundry facilities…..

But you won’t find nicer people….

This is Pervin, ‘mumma’, and their pal who have run the campsite for 40 years. A little haven, called Dragon Mocamp, on a dusty road east through Turkey.
We couldn’t have been made more welcome.
What a cracking site. What at first looked a bit ramshackle, turned out to be a bit of an Eco-oasis.
We were invited to pick vegetables from the garden and made ourselves a great salad of wild onions, parsley, rocket and mint. Then helped ourselves to oranges straight off the tree.
If you’ve never picked ripe oranges and eaten them immediately, then you’ve never really tasted an orange!
Although we were a bit early in the year, the beach is known as Turtle Beach for the hundreds of turtles that lay eggs here every year from early May till mid August.
Well worth going back for – even more so because of the hospitality and welcome we received.
A night’s camping and a really chilled couple of days: £10.
