The visitor center's internal facilities consist of a seminar room, cafeteria, lounge, visitor information center, and staff office.

Additionally, the first phase project was developed as a space where various experiences and leisure activities can be enjoyed by utilizing the pleasant forest natural environment, and site preparation for the construction of forest houses as well as civil engineering works such as electricity and communication were completed.

Furthermore, the second phase project, including forest houses (10 buildings), Vibrant Forest (experience and healing space), and forest walking trail (500m), is scheduled to be completed by the end of August next year.

Once the project is completed, it is expected to become a place full of energy where visitors can rest their body and mind in nature, offering views of the forest and healing spaces to relieve fatigue from daily life and become one with nature.

A Yeongam-gun official stated, “As soon as the county's non-burdened amount is secured in the 2nd supplementary budget, we plan to order the second phase project to provide residents with a resting place in life as a new tourist attraction where forest culture, recreation, and experiences can be comprehensively enjoyed.”
