We were very pleased with the place we stayed while looking for a camping place in Samsun.
Camping is not prohibited, there are sinks and showers nearby for free, and the beach is generally clean. There can be a lot of waves, but there are breakers.
Atakum beach is beautiful, but camping is prohibited there because it is the city center. It is free in Samsun center and this is the most reasonable place.
While camping, you will see trees on the beach. If you set up the trees on the road side, you will be in the shade when the sun rises in the morning.

Çatalçam Beach is clean and has better trees. However, in July and August, it's very crowded and there's nowhere to park.

The sea was very clean and calm. There are toilets and showers. I'd also like to make a public service announcement here: PLEASE DON'T POLLUTION OUR ENVIRONMENT! LEAVE IT AS YOU WANT TO FIND IT...

We saw it in videos online and were fooled. The sand is full of thorns, the place is filthy. Worst of all, despite being so crowded, not a single changing room has been built. They've installed two toilets, and the smell is terrible. Cold showers are open to everyone, but there's no place to change clothes. What are we supposed to do? Just because it's fashionable to undress in public, we have to strip and dress in public. WHERE IS THE MUNICIPALITY?!!!

Regional analysis
There is a buffet nearby that meets your needs and there are male and female toilets.
I couldn't see a mosque nearby.
There are sufficient parking spaces for vehicles.
The sea isn't deep, the bottom is sandy, and the waves are clean, which I'd say is reasonable for the Black Sea. There are no seaweed or jellyfish in the area (we spent 10 days there). It's not rocky, but sandy. There are thorns in some parts of the sand, and there are no changing cabins.
The toilets are not very hygienic, there is a shower area

We liked it overall and recommend it.
Stay tuned for new places and recommendations :)
