You can make a bonfire over an open flame.The receptionist was the type of person who wanted to take the lead in communication.The toilets are clean.The thing you should be most careful about is the plants growing on the riverbank.I think it's poison ivy or something.Be careful as you will be in trouble.

To be honest, this is the lowest level campsite I've ever been to.Although the amount is extremely high, it is not managed properly.I think 2000 yen for the free site is still good, but the parking lot costs an additional 2000 yen. In addition to that, even though it is prohibited to bring in firewood, etc., the price is nearly five times that of other places. It's 2500 yen for hardwood, right?If you use two boxes, the firewood alone will cost 5,000 yen.When asked why, they said, "Because of rising fuel prices."No, wouldn't it be possible to reduce the cost if each person could bring their own items? lolThere is also a plan that allows you to use as much firewood as you want, but if you book a group with multiple tents, you will have to accommodate everyone. The usage method is the same as using individual reservations, but this is what happens when you make reservations all at once instead of making individual reservations.So if you are looking at this and considering it. It's best to make separate reservations.Even if you try to rebook after knowing this rule, even hotels that allow cancellations within 10 days will usually accept cancellations up to a week or three days in advance.Anyway, the environment is bad and there is no flexibility.Above all, we prioritize profits over our customers.It was so bad that I thought it would be better if such a low-level campsite was closed down.If you are considering it, you will definitely not regret it if you consider it again!There are so many good campgrounds!

Kawai Camping is a popular trend that combines the charm of camping with "kawaii" culture, which emphasizes cuteness and a playful aesthetic, particularly in Japanese culture. This style often features colorful, whimsical gear, decorations, and activities that enhance the overall camping experience.Key elements of Kawai Camping include:1. Cute Gear: Tents, sleeping bags, and cooking utensils designed with pastel colors, fun patterns, and adorable designs.2.

I sometimes use it for daycanning.Since it is located in Tokyo, it is easily accessible from the city center.The Tama River flows through the premises, and the temperature is a little lower and cooler than in the city center.There is a supermarket on the way, and if you rent or make a reservation, they will prepare the ingredients for you, so you can visit empty-handed or by train.Also, since it is possible to have an open fire, which is rare, it is popular among people who want to try an open fire.

Very disappointed with our experience at this campground. Although it is close to a train station and has convenient transportation, the noise at night was unbearable and I could hear the sounds of motorcycle gangs running, making it impossible to enjoy the tranquility of nature. Firewood is expensive, costing as much as 200 yen per bundle, but if you choose to use as much firewood as you like, there is a rule that is not listed on the website: ``No fires allowed after 10 p.m.'' A nightmare for night owls.If I chose unlimited firewood, I would have to wear a pink wristband, which made me feel like my freedom was being restricted. I was restricted from going out after 10pm and the experience was very unpleasant, almost like being in a prison. In conclusion, I cannot recommend this campsite.

You can have an open fire. Kawahara's free site isSolid pegs are required as the stones are rumbling.😓Be careful about your bed.I would like it to be installed on the riverbank as well.
