The name 'auto-campground' does not tell the whole story
Micheongol National Recreational Forest, at 115 Micheongol-gil, Seo-myeon, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do, offers forest accommodation, camping decks and an auto-campground. Before planning an overnight stay, check what vehicle you intend to bring.
No campervans or caravans in the auto-campground
In a notice updated on 29 September 2025, the Korea Forest Service states that campervans and caravans cannot use the Micheongol auto-campground, for safety reasons. The notice does not say all ordinary cars are banned. Check the eligibility of your specific vehicle and camping equipment with the forest office before booking.
Large buses cannot enter the internal road
A separate notice updated on 20 October 2023 says the internal road is narrow and vehicles cannot readily pass one another. Large buses are prohibited from entering at the forest entrance. For group trips, do not assume a coach can reach accommodation or campsites. Ask the operator about any permitted drop-off point and walking access.
Day visiting is different from overnight camping
The official homepage lists 09:00–18:00 for day access and Tuesday as the regular closure. Quiet hours are 22:00–07:00. These are not confirmation of each cabin's check-in time or whether particular campsites are open in November. Check the booking screen for dates, pitch numbers, capacities, tariffs and check-in/out rules.
Before leaving
