Büyük Çamlıca is another grove that proves Üsküdar district is rich in terms of symbolic locations in Istanbul. Although the word 'büyük' in its name means major and 'küçük' in Küçük Çamlıca's name means minor, Büyük Çamlıca is less in area but that does not mean that it is less in popularity.

This feature led the park to receive a great amount of visitors throughout the history and led to be mentioned in numerous poems. With this popularity it is possible to say that even without tourists, the park becomes highly crowded on weekends.
