This place is really great.
The Gorge itself was beautiful to visit and it's worth staying over in the Gorge Club if only because it means you can get up early and walk the Gorge before all the tourists arrive. By about 10/11 it gets extremely busy.
We stayed in the treehouse for a night and did the rafting also and enjoyed both. It's not luxury accommodation but this is clear from the advert (communal bathrooms etc), it's very reasonably priced and a fun experience. Staff were very helpful and I would definitely recommend.

Stayed one night in a treehouse

We went to Saklikent Gourge, first did the walk the following day we did the rafting. 

The rafting, we went for 1.5hrs option, but it turns out that the actual rafting is not 1.5hrs but close to 40mins only. They are being cheeky because they include the time you wait for the car to be picked up. After 40 mins we got out of the stream and we were waiting by the road to be picked up by the car. It seemed like ages,  eventually a very, very old car turned up and we were picked up to be taken to the mud baths. Well, they seemed to have forgotten all about it and we had to ask to be taken there after we got dropped off. After mud bath they took ages to come to collect us. 

The staff probably couldn't care less after taking the money from you. You are being treated like one of many and if they don't deliver what is promised at the point of the sale, they most likely don't care. 

Personally I would skip the rafting, the water level is low and you get stuck on the rocks quite a bit. 

Won't be doing this again if I end up going there in the future. 

The staff seems like they don't care. Rafting not 1.5hrs as advertised. 

Great Location - right in the heart of the gorge. Bit commercial for our taste but all facilities were to hand. We booked in for 3nights accommodation - in a Tree House. Obviously, only beds in there but linen was clean and there were extra blankets. (Needed as the temperature drops after sunset). Shared loos were okay. Shower cubicles okay too, but not always hot water available - so we made sure to shower early evening. If you camp regularly, this is at the middle to upper end of quality.
Food - perfectly adequate and self-service. Breakfast was served to us one day at the weekend which was a real treat. Wasps kept at bay with some charcoal embers left to smoulder on Turkish coffee - heavenly - and it worked!

Good Camping Facilities & Activities

I have stayed here one night and because I was planning to do bungee jumping and zipline.

Bungee jumping is basically 50 m. And it has no good view or anything. If you are able to pay that amount of money( 275 tl) you should go paragliding which has much more amazing view and I believe it will worth.

Zipline is 10 m, they ask for 45 tl. I guess which is worthless to.

We decide to make river rafting. It is not expensive. You can see really nice views and mud bath in the end, which is quite nice. But dont expect something crazy, it is pretty safe and chill.

About camping, I am totally impressed. Toilets, showers were super clean and useful. We ask their help for our stuff to keep cold and they were really nice. I really enjoyed the camping because it has no noise in the night and super nice view with Dalaman river.

Lets be honest

If in the Fethiye area the Saklikent gorge is worth a visit. Entry to the gorge costs 6 lira which is reasonable for the photographic opportunities alone. We visited in late September so were able to walk as much of the gorge as we chose as the water levels were not to high or dangerous, which they can be in the early season (April / May). We stayed overnight in one of the tree houses, which was an experience we didn't want to miss out on, but not great value for money 149 lira for the night, including breakfast. Overall the site is quite spectacular but is all about money making for the owners, food and drink not great and a bit expensive. It was quiet when we visited being near the end of season and the staff seemed a bit weary after a long season. Can't comment on the other activities available, rafting, bungee jumping, zip lines etc all aimed at the younger tourists. A local dolmus / mini bus will take you from Fethiye bus station to the gorge for 11 lira, however the service is also used by local villagers and our 15 seat bus had at least 30 - 35 aboard.

Worth a visit

Last visited here in 2019 now a rip off - rafting advertised as 45 minutes and you get 15 max.  Owners dismissive when I complained - I love Turkey but vendors like this need to be careful I understand price hikes but can’t stand to be ripped off and lied too I won’t return and if they carry on tourists will leave this beautiful country for other options.

False advertising be aware

Smirking crook. 45 minute ring ride was 15 minutes long; he had his nonsense explanation about it being the “whole time from start to finished” all prepared (it wasn’t - it was less than 30 minutes from paying money to me being back complaining) which suggests that this is a regular complaint.

Avoid like the plague

This place used to be great 6 years ago its now just a cash cow. great food and service has now be replaced with cold disgusting over priced self service food. The Ringos used to be a great day out 45 minute ride with a fantatsic mud bath. we have just returned the Ringo ride was 11 minutes with no mud bath. we will never return to this Cash Cow. 

45 Minute Ringo ride was 11 Minutes long NEVER AGAIN. Horrid Food, Rude Staff

Dishonest people, did not inform the trekking in canyon is not possible due to heavy rainfall. Came here all the way from Ankara only to be decieved. Also loud dance music all night, spoiling the ambience and rude staff pushing sales, as their priority is to sell activities. Not customer oriented. They don't even have a reception. The cashier of restsurant checks you, very poor English. Didn't even understand I had a booking. He just gave me a ticket with wifi code. Dinner is a joke. Grilled fish didn't seem fresh. Food staying for hours, everything cold and tastelesses except the pomegranate juice that you have to pay for. And ontop of everything they woke me up several times. Staff dinner at 1 am under my window???? Great. Thanks for my "wonderful" stay. 

Terrible - don't come here

We have been there to have a lunch but they served cold french fries and we ordered 'Turkish gozleme' but they brought 'borek'.
I don't suggest this restaurant.     
Also the music was terrible. Servers are not  polite.
