Çamlık National Park

The Çamlık National Park is one of the first places that comes to mind when it comes to Yozgat. Thanks to its vegetation, water sources and large trees, this place, simply known as Çamlık, is a popular picnic area. It is a few kilometres from the city, at an altitude of 1360 m. The people of Yozgat and from the surrounding areas always spend their summers on this plateau. Until recently, people would stay in rented tents and huts and spend the nights with singing and making music together. Every year, the first day of Hıdırellez would be celebrated here. Çamlık is known for its larch, oak and juniper forests. It became a national park in 1956 and is Türkiye’s first national park.
