Reception: smooth and politeFacility: No problemsIt's a very quiet campsite, and there's a lake, so you can enjoy a different atmosphere than in the mountains.The receptionist told me that if I wanted to stop by on my way home, I'd recommend a ramen shop called "Akin-tei."Akinmen was delicious!

The coolness in the morning and evening is the best 😃The main activities are boating on the lake and trampolines.The lake felt dirty due to the lack of water, and there were some old buildings that were not in use, adding to the desolate feeling.

I used it for the first time. The location was great, but I don't think I'll come again.I don't feel the staff's consideration. I've been to many campgrounds and this was the first time I felt so uncomfortable.[Good points]I used site C. No location on the site specified.I think it was a very nice place with a nice atmosphere and quiet.It costs about 4,000 yen for two people on the auto site. The price is also cheap.[bad place]First of all, when I arrived and checked in, I was told that my reservation could not be confirmed. I made a reservation using Rakuten Travel, but they were not aware of it. It took about 10 minutes to confirm.I was asked to pay even though I had paid in advance. It seemed like they couldn't confirm the payment, and I couldn't proceed unless I showed them the payment screen, which was very frustrating.The reception was poor and it took a while to even show the confirmation screen. No particular apology... I feel lonely because I don't feel welcome. At this point, I already felt a sense of regret.Next is the site. I used site C, but the road was narrow and just barely there. Also, the gravel was slippery on the slope, making it difficult to park properly.Well, I guess it can't be helped since this is a mountain campsite... In response to other reviews complaining about the narrow roads, they say, ``It's better to be in harmony with nature,'' but I just don't want to spend money or it's a hassle. I wonder if that's the case after camping lolWe were finally able to park and after setting up, we had a normal time, but there was a group camp of about 10 people occupying 3 areas in front of us. Perhaps because of the alcohol involved, even though it was a public place, the older adults were having a great time telling dirty jokes. Even though my wife and I were here, we could hear everything and it was a terrible feeling. I thought it would be difficult to ask them to be careful at the reception desk as it was a long way away and the roads were bad to get there by car, so I warned them directly.This site did not specify a location, so the staff decided on the location. Why would you place it right in front of the group camp when there is plenty of space elsewhere? I wish the staff would think more carefully. At site C, there was only me, Gurcan, and one family. At least if there are so many spaces, why not let them choose their location on the day?And at night there is no light at all. The lights in the washroom and toilets were not on at all. Pitch dark. I think it's okay to turn on the lights since it's a place far away from the site. You don't have to leave the lights on all night, but you can leave them on until 10pm when the lights go off, right?The washroom had a switch that even an adult man couldn't reach. This shows that they are not keeping an eye on the area, and it shows that the management is lazy. It was a relief that the washing area was clean. The toilet smells. I have included a photo of the switch for your reference.Also, this is not a complaint, but the bathhouse is small.What is a public bath?As I was putting a lot of effort into things like HP and had high expectations, the lack of consideration left me with a disappointing memory.My honest impression is that this is a campground where the staff are cutting corners and only improving the exterior, taking advantage of the location.

A very quiet campsite in the forest. There are so many trees that you won't even need a tarp if you're day camping on a sunny day.Even adjacent sites have trees and streams, so privacy is maintained.

I used an auto campsite in May 2024.It was a weekend and I had made a reservation for the morning of the day, but there was a cancellation the day before, so I was lucky enough to get a site in front of the lake.From Nagoya, get off at the Ena Interchange and walk up the mountain road for about 20 minutes.Near the interchange, there are many shops where you can buy things, such as Kanesue, Barrow, and Don Quijote.The view of the lake is amazing.The site is also in nature, so it's quiet and soothing to hear the chirping of birds and insects.However, the toilet is far away. (About 3-4 minutes walk from the site you used)My wife said it was inconvenient that the restroom was far away, but for me it was a pretty high-ranking campsite so far.・1 night 9,300 yen (site in front of the lake)・Garbage collection fee: 550 yen per garbage bag

It feels good to have nothing. Since it's near the lake, there were a lot of insects. Insect control required.

This lake (Hoko Lake) is located in Ena City, Gifu Prefecture, and is quite large.We didn't go camping this time, but there is a course where you can go around the lake. It takes quite a while to go around.I took a clockwise course, but halfway through, I came to a dead end, so I turned back.There is also a national dormitory.

[Good points]① The autumn leaves at the campsite are very beautiful.It was the best view!We also took a walk around the lake,I had a very pleasant walk.②The toilet is clean.Toilet between A site and C siteI used it, but it was well cleaned.There are other people writing on the internet.It's not as dirty as it isIt was.[Bad points]① The kitchen is terrible.This is the kitchen at site A, on the far left.The sink has a drain pipe that has come off and is located directly behind it.It was dripping into the river.Also, the third sink from the left isThe drain pipe was removed and a board was laid down.The drainage water now flows over the board.intentionally flowing into the riverIt was installed.Enjoying camping for nearly 30 yearsI came to a nature-friendly campsiteThere have been many, but so far it has been natural.I've never seen a campsite that wasn't friendly.there is no.Isn't there an urgent need for improvement?②Mountain road behind A2 siteYou can go to the reception desk behind the A2 site.There is a mountain path.It is a shortcut to go to the reception etc.You can't get there unless you pass through the A2 site,Some people passed through the A2 site without permission.Something happened.It is bad manners to go through other people's websites.However, in the middle of the mountain road, there is a fork in the road.There is a fork in the road.Please pass through the signboard etc.If you need a note saying that it is not possible, etc.I think so.③Unusual odor at A2 siteIs it drainage from the reception area above the site?It flows right next to the A2 site.Water was also piling up inside the A2 site.Is it because water rarely flows?Conditions where oil is floating in the water or there is a bad odoris.This is similar to the A1 site.There was a smell.In addition, there is a drainage canal within the site.Something like the mud that was taken out piled up.In such a state, there is mud and a strange smell when the bonfire is lit.I felt terrible.A2 site as well as the management of the kitchen earlier.I want the drainage canal on the side to be properly managed.is.
