I like places covered with trees, so I looked into this place and visited.The place we rented was reserved for weekdays. I was able to relax and set up the campsite and prepare meals without having to worry about my surroundings. At the reception, there was a chestnut tree and I was told that I could pick up chestnuts, so I was able to experience picking chestnuts for the first time. However, there were chestnuts falling from above at this time of year, so I was nervous (lol) At night, there was no one around, and there were no street lights, so I felt a little scared, but that got better over time. It was done. The sound of insects at night was soothing. The facility is clean, including the toilets and kitchen. It's highly rated because it provides hot water (lol).It's also great because you can separate the garbage and throw it away. I also encountered various insects. Ants, stink bugs, mosquitoes, praying mantises, green beetles, flies, and earthworms. The praying mantis had a color I've never seen before, so I captured it on camera.It was pleasant in the morning with the chirping of birds.I hope to visit you again during the colder months.

When camping with your family in December, stay in a cottage.Visit Santa Hills, where you can stay with your dog!Since I am bringing my dog, I chose one with a dog run.Last time it was Holi and this time it's Bell.The cottages here are fully equipped.Frankly speaking, it's better than staying at a hotel.If you don't have a BBQ, just buy the ingredients and drinks.There is also a bath and toilet inside the cottage.This is a normal level of accommodation.*Depending on the cottage.Well, do you need a bonfire stand to enjoy camping?For those who don't have anything but want to try campingI think this is the best campsite to enjoy nature.The response from all the staff is polite and positive.Up until now, winter has been a Christmas camp.I stayed in cottages at various campgrounds.The whole family seemed to like Santa Hills.Christmas camp will continueI want to stay here.
K “kkk” I.

We used the campsite. It's a place rich in nature, and I feel like it's a place I really like.There are a lot of insects. It was interesting to see so many spiders, ants, flies, dragonflies, bees, etc. I thought after reading other people's reviews that if you don't like insects, you should go somewhere else.It's nice to have hot water.The toilet was also relatively clean.There were many children, so it was lively.The elementary school children seemed to enjoy playing in hammocks with children they were meeting for the first time.I had the best night's sleep of any campsite I've been to so far.I think it was because the campers had good manners overall. The surrounding area was quiet at night. The cottage felt more lively, so I was glad to be away.There are various reviews, but above all, I felt that the people who follow good manners are managing the place so that I can have a comfortable stay.The reason for the minus star is that the hammock etc. were broken and the shower was coin-operated.Still, I want to go again, so I'm rooting for it to continue for a long time.Finally, it is recommended for people who want to camp more than hotels!

I stayed at Bell with my dog as a memory of my summer vacation. It was a nice time to get away from the hustle and bustle. I'm looking forward to Holi this time, calming down the kids who are clamoring to stay the night. I will see the opportunity again. thank you very much.

I used Reindeer.All the staff are nice, but...Is it a comforter lying around or where did it come from?My eyes are damaged by house dust and dust.I can't stop sneezing and my nose can't stop running...What was supposed to be a fun day was ruined. The building also looked a little like it wasn't cleaned properly.If I had to say it, I would like air conditioning both times.It's too hot to sleep on top.It's a shame that I couldn't really enjoy it. sorry…

⚫︎I had high expectations based on the reviews.It was a shame.⚫︎I stayed at Rein Deer with my family and pet during Obon. Considering the additional 800 yen pet fee, I was quite surprised that no consideration was given to pets. Does that mean I should keep my pet in a cage?If you have to pay a pet feeI would like there to be a service where you can rent out pet sheets and pet tableware at the front desk.Why not install a pet gate or a pet pole on the wooden deck and then say you can stay with your pet?It costs 800 yen without any consideration for the pet.I felt like it was just a way to make money.⚫︎There was an unusually musty smell inside the room. The children sneezed repeatedly from the house dust and their eyes turned red.⚫︎Specified garbage bag 200 yen per pieceAir conditioner usage fee 1000 yenThere is no air conditioner in the bedroom, just a fan.⚫︎Please light fireworks at Freedom Plaza, but...If you're going to guide me that way, please shine a light on the small street from the front desk to Jiyū Hiroba to serve as a landmark.It was pitch black at night, and there were no landmarks.There were many people who couldn't make it to Freedom Square with fireworks in hand.⚫︎Location isn't a big deal either.StaffIt would be better to go to Angel Forest for overnight training.
