Cirali, in Antalya's Kemer district, is one of Turkey's most unique holiday spots. With a vehicle-free beachfront, a 3.5-kilometer unspoiled beach, and centuries-old orange groves, Cirali is ideal for travelers who prefer nature over resort life. That is exactly why camping lovers return every year.
In this guide, you will find key camping tips for Cirali, the best campsite options, and ways to complete your camping morning with a daily boat tour.
A few things make Cirali different from many other camping destinations:
One of the most talked-about camps in Cirali. Built in an organic orange garden of around 2,200 square meters, it is often listed among Turkey's early glamping locations. Large tent options include safari tents, Bedouin tents, and Bell tents. Open-air showers, a fully equipped kitchen, and a wide terrace complete the setup.
A long-running campsite operating since 1990. It is set among orange and pine trees, just a short walk from Cirali Beach. You can bring your own tent or rent one on site. Caravan space is available as well, with essentials like tables, chairs, toilets, electricity, water, showers, and shared refrigerators.
One of the larger camping areas in Cirali. Surrounded by mulberry, oleander, lemon, and orange trees, it is about 150 meters from the sea. Hammocks and wooden sitting corners add comfort, while organic breakfast and meals are popular among guests.
Located on the Cirali road between Kemer and Adrasan. The property is surrounded by pine and orange trees and offers both classic tent camping and caravan-style rooms with air conditioning and private bathrooms.
A small and friendly option just a few steps from the beach. It offers hot water, electricity, toilets, showers, and food service, with easy access by both private car and public transport.
One of Cirali's biggest advantages is easy access to daily tours leaving from the shore every morning. Hidden bays like Sazak, Porto Ceneviz, and Aquarium Bay are much easier to see by boat. Many tours include lunch, making this one of the highlights of a camping trip.
Olympos is within walking distance from Cirali and offers impressive Lycian-period ruins. Going early in the morning means cooler weather and fewer crowds.
Yanartas (Chimaera), around a 30-40 minute walk from Cirali, is known for natural flames that have burned for thousands of years. Bring a headlamp and enough water for a safer and more comfortable evening hike.
The world-famous Lycian Way passes through Cirali. A short early walk gives you a clear view of the region's nature and panoramic scenery.
For a break from camp meals, visit Ulupinar, around 10 minutes away. Riverside restaurants there are known for fresh trout and a relaxed nature setting.
The most comfortable periods for camping in Cirali are April-May and September-October. These months are suitable for both swimming and sleeping comfortably in a tent at night. July-August can be very hot during the day, so early booking is recommended in peak summer.
Cirali is about 1.5 hours from Antalya city center. From Antalya Bus Terminal, you can take minibuses toward Olympos or Kumluca. If you are driving, follow the Kemer-Tekirova route and then the Cirali sign; after that, a scenic forest road of around 7 kilometers leads down to the village.

Camping in Cirali is much more than sleeping in a tent. Waking up to orange blossom scents, discovering hidden bays by boat during the day, and watching ancient natural flames at night all come together in one destination.
