We used the campsite in the courtyard for two nights on 2022/12/2.3.4 and before the 70th anniversary festival of Imazu Garrison. Weekdays 1,000 yen Weekends 1,500 yenSince it's in the courtyard, you can't see any view, but it's nice to have a kitchen and power supply. I think it's good for beginners and families. Especially the breakfast at R cafe on the lakeside side was amazing ♪(^^)There are no food stores nearby, so advance preparation is essential. This was my first backpacking trip, so I managed to get by with my own stuff and the nearest 7-Eleven (10 minutes away from renting a bicycle).

The building is old, but the equipment is new and shiny. This time we were camping, but we were able to use the first floor of the guesthouse 24 hours a day, so we could do everything we wanted, and it was reasonably priced. It was a very light camping trip, but I was able to use the kitchen so I was able to wear light clothing. There are only 4 sites, so it's probably suitable for touring camping.

A story about walking around Lake BiwaEven though it was the busy season at the end of the year and it was reserved, I was at a loss because I couldn't find a tent spot, so they kindly accepted me ( °̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥˟°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥)The staff member, Akane, even offered me warm rice balls and miso soup even though I didn't know who he was.The other staff members also welcomed us kindly.What surprised me was the completeness and cleanliness of the facilities.The shower room, large bath, toilet, everything was perfect and comfortable (≧▽≦)I have nothing but gratitude.I hope I can repay this kindness in some other way!

I used it during Silver Week 2020.The campsite is located behind the building.◾️Logging inThe car was brought in to the campsite.Since it is not an auto camp, you will be returned to the parking lot after dropping off your luggage.It's very easy to unload all your luggage at once.◾️BonfireThere is a concrete walkway at the campsite, and it was possible to light a bonfire using a bonfire stand as long as it was on top of it.◾️CookingI was able to use J-Hoppers' equipment to cook my own food.I cooked my own food on the first day, and used the facility's kitchen on the second day.◾️BathThe bath from 07:00 in the morning to 23:00 is the best.◾️SummaryAlthough it is not surrounded by nature, the convenience and comfort are wonderful.This campsite was very popular with families.

I was able to use the shower and kitchen for 1000 yen. The lady at the front desk was also kind and polite. The campsite is small so it might get crowded if there are a lot of people!
