'Camping for just 10,000 won'... Pyeongtaek Port National Leisure Camping Site Opens

Pilot Operation Starting from the 24th

A camping site where you can enjoy at a low cost has opened near Pyeongtaek Port in Gyeonggi-do.

On the 15th, Pyeongtaek City announced that it held the opening ceremony of the 'Pyeongtaek Port National Leisure Camping Site' located in 369-3 Jangsu-ri, Hyeondeok-myeon.

The newly opened camping site was created by reclaiming about 25,000㎡ of public waters and is equipped with 32 auto camping sites and 7 caravan sites. Convenience facilities such as a cooking area, shower rooms, and a combination playground are also provided within the camping site.

For efficient operation and budget savings, the city plans to operate the site directly instead of outsourcing. A city official explained, "Direct management is expected to save about 30% of the costs compared to outsourced operation."

The city added that to ensure sufficient shade and considering the port characteristics affected by sea breeze and salt damage, about two-thirds of the 530 large trees planted in the camping site, approximately 360 trees, were planted using high-quality trees sourced from public and private development projects in consultation with major local companies.

The city will conduct a trial operation of the camping site starting from the 24th and will accept usage applications from the 22nd. The usage fee is 10,000 KRW per site, and the usage time is from 2 PM to 11 AM the next day. Those who wish to use the site can make a reservation through the 'CampingTalk' website.

Meanwhile, about 50 local residents attended the opening ceremony along with Jeong Jang-seon, Mayor of Pyeongtaek, Yoo Seung-young, Chairman of Pyeongtaek City Council, Byeon Hye-jung, Head of Pyeongtaek Regional Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Office, Jang Jin-su, Chief of Pyeongtaek Coast Guard, Gyeonggi-do assembly members, and city council members.
