Gochang-gun 'Dongho National Leisure Camping Site' Pilot Operation

[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk, has established a camping site in the pine forest of Dongho Beach and has begun a pilot operation.

According to the county on the 20th, the 'Dongho National Leisure Camping Site' was created with 30 camping sites (5m x 5m each).

The camping site operating hours are from 2 PM to 11 AM the next day, and convenience facilities such as a cooking area, parking lot (40 spaces), restrooms, shower rooms, and photo zones have also been provided.

Originally, this place was a hotspot for illegal campers.

As the trash left by them was not properly disposed of, complaints about foul odors, noise, and monopolization of parking spaces increased, prompting local governments to step in and develop it into an official camping site for systematic management.

Accordingly, Gochang-gun officially established the camping site and began managing it. The Dongho National Leisure Camping Site, which has gained popularity by word of mouth, is receiving a flood of reservation inquiries from campers.

County Governor Shim Deokseop said, “To respond to the continuously increasing camping demand due to non-face-to-face tourism demand caused by COVID-19, we have additionally established the Dongho National Leisure Camping Site. We will strive to ensure that the newly established Dongho National Leisure Camping Site can secure Gochang’s unique camping tourism competitiveness with high-level convenience and differentiated scenery.”

For more details, check the county office website or contact the Dongho National Leisure Camping Site office.

The camping site usage fee is free during the pilot operation period and can be reserved through the ‘Gochang-gun Integrated Reservation System’.
