In 1975 described the campsite as "75¢ per night, nice beds in concrete floored tents,
lots of trees, lawns, tourists and a nice swimming pool."
In that time there were several companies doing overland bus tours from England out to India.
One nearly empty bus -- the "Budget Bus" more suited for day trips to Brighton -- stopped and offered to take passengers back to Europe.
I negotiated a ten day trip to Thesaloniki, Greece for $35 US!!
We slept on or beside the bus and stopped two nights in both Tehran and Istanbul.
