Another camping route where you will find peace in nature is Balaban Pond. Balaban Pond, located in Yeniköy, in the Menderes district of İzmir, is frequently preferred by nature lovers for camping and hiking activities. There are lush forested areas surrounded at length around Balaban Pond Campground. Therefore, while witnessing the beauty of nature at every point you turn your face, you can be refreshed with clean oxygen. You can use the direction of Menderes Caddesi via Menderes district center to come to Balaban Pond Campground with your private vehicle. At the end of a 20-minute drive, you can reach Balaban Pond. In addition, thanks to the convenient location of the region, you can come to camp with your caravan. If you are going to use public transportation on the way to Balaban Pond Campground, you should take line 829 from Cumaovası and get off at Yeniköy Zambak stop. Then you can reach Balaban Pond by turning right and walking the remaining 2-3 km road. After arriving at Balaban Pond, you can safely set up your tent or park your caravan on any plain you find.

Due to the floods and fires in İzmir, entrances and exits to Balaban Pond were prohibited in the past years. Therefore, camping was not possible in the region. However, today you can enter Balaban Pond to camp. Before you set off with your camping equipment, you can contact the municipality in advance to be sure of the up-to-date entrance information of the area. There is no establishment where you can meet your needs in Balaban Pond Campground, which is a wonder of nature. Therefore, you have to meet your own needs during the camping period. Although this situation seems like a deficiency, you can make an unforgettable nature camp because the facility has not been opened. Before you come to Balaban Pond Campground, which is also suitable for winter camping, you can meet your needs from Menderes or Yeniköy center.

You can also spare time for various activities to relax your body at Balaban Pond Campground, where you will witness a lush natural wonder. We recommend trekking or sightseeing on the convenient hiking paths of the region. You can also take pictures of the landscapes you witness while exploring a lush nature in the summer season or witnessing the white snow cover in winter. You can carry seasonal tents, sleeping bags, fleece clothes, cardigans, lighting and pocket stoves as a precaution against cold weather when traveling to Balaban Pond Campground, which is preferred for camping during both summer and winter seasons.
