3. Myeongji River Valley Auto Camping Site
If you’re looking for a unique camping site, how about a caravan camping site?
Upstream from the crystal waters of the Myeongji River Valley and in front of Domachi River Valley is the Myeongjisan Mountain Auto Camping Site!
What’s a caravan, you ask?
These are caravans! It may be easier to understand if you picture a camping car.
The Myeongjisan Mountain Auto Camping Site is located at the foot of the Myeongji River Valley, which is famous for its clean environment. It’s a place where you can experience pristine nature. Of particular note, the camping site is surrounded by fortress-like Hwaaksan (1468m), Myeongjisan (1267m), and Gukmangbong (1168m), which offer spectacular natural scenery. As for the caravans, there are a total of 20 caravans available.
We recommend this option for people who don’t have tents or for those who want to spend the night outdoors but think that tents are uncomfortable!
Unfortunately, it is a little pricey because the camping cars themselves are expensive.
From KRW 80,000 per night during weekdays in off-peak seasons to KRW 280,000 per night during weekends in peak-seasons, the exact rate changes depending on the time of year so please consult the website for detailed accommodation rates.
4. Jungwon River Valley
Jungwon Waterfall, located on Jungwonsan Mountain east of Yongmunsan Mountain, offers a fantastic view with water cascading for 10 meters.
Small natural pools can be found along the river from the mouth of the valley and all the way up river, which makes it ideal place to spend the day with children. Although it isn’t grand in size, the valley is surrounded by rugged cliffsthat remind you of folding screens. The dense forest also allows visitors to stay out of the sun without canopies.
Gazebos and wooden decks are available at the mouth of the valley, so you can enjoy a day trip or camp in the valley.
Walk up from Jungwon River Valley’s parking lot for about 15 minutes and you’ll arrive at Jungwon Waterfall, a roaring three-tiered waterfall. Walk past Jungwon Waterfall along a forest path that takes you through a tunnel formed by trees in the thick forest and you’ll be able to see the cascading waterfalls where the water sounds like marbles rolling along the ground.
