A cozy family camping trip along the riverside

As family camping increases, many changes are also occurring at campsites. Beyond simply providing camping sites, campsites are adding more auxiliary facilities so that visitors can have a more beneficial time. This is also why the Jaraseom Auto Camping Site in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do, and the Jungdo Auto Camping Site in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, are drawing attention. The Jaraseom Auto Camping Site and Jungdo Auto Camping Site are equipped with various public facilities such as a soccer field, foot volleyball court, lawn park, water play area, and waterside walking path, as well as play facilities for children such as bicycles and buggy cars, making them perfect for the whole family to enjoy camping together.

Homyeonghosu Lake Park

Homyeong Lake is the upper reservoir of the first pumped-storage power plant built in Korea, and along with the beautiful mountain scenery of Homyeongsan, the wide reservoir is a beautiful spectacle reminiscent of Cheonji on Baekdusan. You can take a city bus from Gapyeong-eup and get off at Sanyu-ri, or get off at Sangcheon Station in Cheongpyeong-myeon and hike to Homyeong Lake while enjoying the surrounding scenery. Along with Homyeong Lake, the valley stretching long below the mountain is an excellent resting place where you can enjoy the charm of hiking, and the Cheongpyeong lakeside viewed from the octagonal pavilion at Homyeong Lake is also superb. The Sangcheon fishing spot in the middle of the valley is another pleasure for anglers. \n

Petite France

If you follow the lakeside road for about 10 km from Cheongpyeong Dam toward Nami Island, you can see white exotic buildings clustered together on the hill on the left. This place, which looks like a village on the Mediterranean coast when you see only the buildings, and like a rural village on the slopes of the Alps when seen together with the beautiful surrounding backdrop of Homyeongsan, is Petite France, a French cultural village. The concept of Petite France is 'flowers, stars, and the Little Prince'.\n

Gangchon Recreation Area

Gangchon is a riverside village located across the Gangchon Bridge, which crosses the 10 km stretch of the Bukhangang River at the border between Gyeonggi-do and Gangwon-do, if you continue driving along the Gyeongchun National Road past Gapyeong Station. Small mountains such as Bonghwasan and Samaksan surround the village. The surrounding mountains have modest waterfalls, making them good for summer retreats, and the clear water of the Bukhangang River flows through, attracting many people who enjoy camping. From Gangchon Station to Gugokpokpo Falls, cafes and guesthouses are packed closely together as if people were clinging to a slow train. People visiting Gangchon also ride bicycles around the area. \n

Kim Yujeong Literary Village

At Kim Yujeong Literary Village, there are information boards with a map of the village and explanations of the works set in each place. As you look at the information boards saying that the mountain behind was the setting for , this watermill is the watermill from , and the house up there is the house of Kim Bong-pil, the father-in-law in , you come to realize that the entire Sille Village is the birthplace and the actual site of Kim Yujeong's works. \n
