National Geumsan Recreation Forest

Why it matters now

The Forest Service's notice updated 21 August 2026 and its current official homepage were checked. Public opening hours are 09:00–18:00, the published weekly closure is Tuesday, and lodging check-in (15:00–22:00) is distinct from check-out (by 11:00 next morning). The 2026–2027 trail and craft projects are still listed as preparation.

Why go

Plan an overnight forest stay, bringing the booking holder's ID and personal toiletries and observing room capacity. Charcoal braziers are banned year-round, and there is no on-site shop. The operator warns that road navigation may send drivers up the wrong mountain road; search for 'Geumsan Geobuk Garden (금산 거북가든)' and follow recreation-forest signs.
