The nearby Utarube/Ikude campsite is also good, but this site is a little-known spot.Basically, reservations are not required, and you must register at the caretaker's house who lives on the premises (just to the left after going down the slope from the entrance) before using the facility. He is a kind and friendly man who can kindly teach me many things.There is no shop, but we were able to purchase bundles of coniferous (cedar) firewood from the manager.Cell phone reception was OK for Docomo, but au was almost out of range, so be careful. Also, the lighting on the premises is powered by a generator, so it will be turned off around 9pm.The site is a free site facing the lake, and cars are allowed. The ground is often uneven with tree roots and gravel, so forged pegs and inflatable mats/cots are recommended. Each area is not large, so it is not suitable for families, but I think it will be mainly used by solo travelers and solo groups.The downside is that the toilets are pump-type rather than flush, so it can't be called sanitary, but considering the cheap usage fee (¥350 as of September '22), I guess it can't be helped. In addition, there is little lighting and it is dark at night, so we recommend bringing lighting equipment such as a headlamp or LED lantern when using it.There is also a washing area, and cold spring water comes out of the tap.The site is located in a wooded area facing a small bay, so it feels private, and you can spend a quiet and relaxing time listening to the sounds of the waves lapping at the lake, the chirping of birds, and the sound of a flowing stream. The sunrise is especially beautiful, so make sure to try your best to get up early!Recently, there seems to be an increase in the number of people (especially groups of young people) who are making noise late into the night and leaving the grounds dirty, and the campgrounds around Lake Towada are in serious trouble, the manager here said. I'm here. I don't want people who can't follow the minimum manners to come...

It was a quiet, scenic campsite perfect for solo travelers. I want to come again when the leaves turn red.

Admission fee is 350 yen per person.The manager, the old man, was a very nice person.Since it was rented out, I was able to spend my time freely.The lake is right nearby, so you can enjoy camping and barbecues while admiring the scenery.The toilet is old-fashioned, but there were no problems.It was okay near the sandy beach, but there are a lot of mosquitoes in the forest, so it's better to take precautions against insects.It may be better to camp in the fall, when there are fewer insects than in the summer.This is a place I would like to go camping again.

Since no reservations are required and I arrived late, I was worried about whether there would be a place available, but thanks to the typhoon, I was able to use a private beach!Due to the rain, we didn't set up a tent and stayed in the car, but as I looked around, it was very spacious and looked like it would be okay to set up a tent.And even though it was cloudy, I was able to see a little bit of the sunrise.Apparently, the toilets are scary, so I brought my own portable toilet.There are a lot of insects! Even if I applied vaping to two individuals anywhere, I still got stung dozens of times within a minute of getting out of the car...I would like to go in winter next time!The owner was a very nice person as mentioned in other reviews.

The location is excellent, facing the lake.There are some materials scattered about, and although they are hidden by blue tarpaulins, I think they spoil the scenery.But more than that, what I want to talk about most is the toilet and water area.It's a toilet or rather it's a ruin (I don't want to go near it at night)It would be a great campsite if they could just fix a toilet...

350 yen per person per night. Some people have reviewed that it is free, but there is a fee to enter the venue, including day trips. I've stayed here many times, and it's great to be able to enjoy nature in peace. On the other hand, it may not be suitable for people who like modern well-maintained campgrounds. There is no AC power or shower. The toilet is a Botton toilet. The water at the waterhole comes from the stream.As long as you don't cause a nuisance to those around you, there are no particular prohibitions, but be sure to clean up after yourself. Unfortunately, there are people playing with water bikes, so it's noisy during the day.On summer nights, stag beetles and beetles are often attracted to the light of lamps. Depending on the time of year, you may even be able to see fireflies.

It's a pretty nice place to camp for free along the lakeside, but there are boats and private houses mixed in on the same site, making it difficult to judge the site for the first time. It may be difficult unless you are an intermediate camper or above. Also, it's quite windy.

I'm scared of the toilet. I asked for electricity, without closing the door.Abu is amazing! Let's bring the onyanma badge.
