National Oseosan Recreation Forest
A national recreation forest above Myeongdae Valley in Cheongra-myeon, Boryeong. It offers forest accommodation and seasonal activities; visiting the forest is not the same as hiking Oseosan's summit silver-grass ridge.
- Address
- 531 Oseosan-gil, Cheongra-myeon, Boryeong-si, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea (충청남도 보령시 청라면 오서산길 531)
- Nearby transit
- The official guide places the 'Myeongdae (명대)' bus stop about 2 km below the recreation forest office. Confirm current bus services and pedestrian access with Boryeong City or the operator.
- Hours
- Day admission: 09:00–18:00 (individual changes possible). Room check-in 15:00–22:00; campsite check-in 14:00–22:00 excluding cabins; check-out by 11:00 the following day. Selected natural dyeing and hinoki crafts are advertised March–November with no Tuesday service and separate morning/afternoon sessions and fees. Barbecues may be restricted in wildfire season and certain facilities may close in winter. Check bookings and live operations with Foresttrip.
The Korea Forest Service's official Foresttrip directions, visitor rules and activity listings were checked in November 2026. Day visiting hours and lodging check-in are different; seasonal activities and wildfire-related restrictions require up-to-date confirmation.
Why go
Consider a woodland stay in the forest cabins or seasonal dyeing and hinoki woodcraft activities. The operator lists certain activities for March–November, excluding Tuesdays, but programmes and space must be confirmed. Do not assume the summit silver-grass trail starts inside the recreation forest.
