Çamkoru Nature Park

Çamkoru Nature Park is a forest area near Ankara dominated by black and yellow pine trees. A central pond and open clearings among the trees complete the landscape throughout the site.

Turkey created this protected park in 2008 as a recreation area near Ankara. The decision reflected efforts to preserve the regional forests for future generations.

The Education Center here teaches visitors about forest animals like wolves, foxes, and jackals that live in the surrounding woodlands. These programs help people understand the wildlife that shares the land with nearby communities.

The park sits roughly 110 kilometers from Ankara and is accessible for day trips from the city. Visitors should expect entrance fees and come prepared for walking among the forest paths.

A state highway cuts straight through the middle of the park and divides it into two separate forest sections. This split creates different plant communities on each side of the road.
