Çubucak is a camping park: 400 tents and 35 caravans, with a day-use area, coming to a capacity of about 2,000 people on 20.53 hectares. It was declared a nature park on 11 July 2011.
It falls within the Datça-Bozburun special environmental protection region and a first-degree natural site. Over the course of a year, 197 plants, seven mammals, 44 birds and five reptiles and amphibians can be seen in and around the park. It is at the 20th kilometre of the Datça road from Marmaris.
The wood is Mediterranean: Turkish pine with myrtle, laurel and oriental sweetgum among maquis vegetation, and the creatures a visitor is likeliest to meet are the squirrel and the jay, the blackbird and the sparrow, the wood mouse and the tortoise. Getting here does not need a car. The park's entrance gate opens directly on to the main road, so the 48-16 bus line running between Marmaris and Datça sets passengers down at the gate without a transfer or a walk.
For a camping park the facilities are practical ones: a shop, a country restaurant, a sports area, a wooden pier, a walking path, toilets, showers, places for washing clothes and dishes, and a car park. Walking and running, swimming in the sea, and picnicking and other recreation in the day-use area are what the Directorate General of Nature Conservation and National Parks says the ground is for.
