The auto campsite with a dog run is located in the forest, and when I went there at the end of July last year, it was hot during the day.I think it's a little expensive to charge 1,650 yen per dog if you have a dog run included.This year, in early September, we stayed at a site near the lake with AC power, but it was still hot during the day, so we brought a small fan!I slept in a T-shirt at night.Cars are parked outside, making it difficult to carry luggage.The bathroom, toilet, and kitchen are clean.I was impressed to see over 10 deer at the forest site!I would like to use it again!

Use of lakeside site.The location is perfect.The kitchen and toilets are also air-conditioned and comfortable.Of course there's hot water too. This is a high standard campground worth the price, with flat ground with good drainage.However, there are no facilities or open space for families to play, and they have to keep an eye on their children, as they have to cross a road without traffic lights to get to the lakeside.It's more of a campsite for couples and people who are retired from work, but it's close to the road and you can hear the sounds of modified cars, trucks, and motorcycles passing by, making it difficult to spend a quiet night or morning. Also, there was probably a lot of young groups gathering at the private campground next door, and it was extremely noisy with people making noise until midnight.After all, a high standard campsite is not suitable for such a tourist spot. If you're by a lake, you'll probably want to go to Lake Saiko or Lake Motosu, which are quieter.Even at Lake Yamanaka, it's quieter if you stay away from the lake like C&C, and this one is of a high standard but at a low price.I think my options are naturally limited.

As other people have written, the response from the male staff at check-in was terrible (no problems with other staff), arrogant and overbearing, and similar incidents have happened several times at other campgrounds. However, I have never felt so uncomfortable when someone said something like this to me. At this point, I thought I would never come back, no matter how good the site was.Also, the bath time is short, only up to 4 people can use it, and morning is almost no time to use it. When you think about it, it's quite expensive for a campsite that costs over 10,000 yen including staff support.The only good thing was that the kitchen was indoors and had hot water.

The location is nice and cool, but the site is slanted and a bit small. The worst part is that families and couples ignore the quiet time, and children make loud noises (which can't be helped) from 5 a.m., and parents don't scold them. Although the environment was nice and the price was high, there were people playing music all night long, and it was a terrible campsite. I will never come to a campsite like this again.

wonderful.The baths end at 6pm, so I'd be happy if they were open a little longer.The toilet was also very clean and I was surprised that it had a sensor light that turned it on and off.There are a lot of motor boats on Lake Yamanaka, so it can be a bit noisy.

It was my first time using it.Other people said that the receptionist's response was not so good, but I was happy with the response and had no complaints.I also stayed at a dog run cottage, and the room was clean and the futon was fluffy so I slept well.Unfortunately, there was only a shower.However, the washroom was equipped with a mirror and hair dryer, which I felt was good for female users.It's far away from the neighboring cottage, so it's a comfortable environment for dogs, which makes a very good impression.We had a barbecue by bringing our own ingredients, but you can find plenty of ingredients at the nearby Super Ogino.I would like to use it again if I have a chance.

The staff's response was somewhat unfriendly and arrogant, which made me feel very uncomfortable. There's nothing like the personal service of a private owner that you'll find at other campgrounds. Companies just employ people and run businesses to make money. There are too many no-no-nos. The rules are too strict and they even make you write something like a written oath, which is too much. The site is super small. I thought this is what happens when you go into business. Overall, I felt narrow-minded and stingy. I will never go there again.

I used it for the first time during the Obon holidays.I stayed at Lakeside Auto Campsite #15.The Mt. Fuji panoramic view site was a hotly contested area, so I was looking forward to seeing what it would be like, but it was even better than I expected. .I had a two-room tent, and I was worried about the size of the site when I looked at the photo, but it was the perfect size.The water station and toilets were in a clean location for a lakeside site, and hot water was available at all taps.It's a quiet campsite with no campsite, and if you time it right, you can see Mt. Fuji from Lake Yamanaka right in front of you.The bath was so clean and wonderful that I couldn't believe it was free.I don't know the details of the forest site because I have to walk a bit, but next time I will choose the lakeside site!! ️
