This will be my second visit!The appeal of this campsite is that it has good radio waves, each area is open, and the view is great, and there is even a mountain stream! The rustling of the forest 🌳 The murmuring of the river 🏞️ The chirping of insects and small birds 🤗 The relaxing effect is too high!There is also an area with play equipment, so I think it would be convenient for a family camping experience!(The sink is next to the parking lot, and the toilet is shaped like an arbor next to the sink. Electricity can be turned on manually, but since it is a pump type, please be careful not to drop valuables such as smartphones or children. )Last time as well, we used the service "after making a reservation in advance", but...out of the 25 groups that can be booked per day, there were supposed to be 24 groups available when we made the reservation, but another group arrived around the same time. After the parking lot, the group moved to a slightly different area 🤔 It's true that there is no system that says "reservation completion email", but the number of users who can't follow the reservation rules increases and they end up having to pay. It's sad to think that there is a possibility...If you are planning to use it, please be sure to make a reservation in advance (same-day reservations are also possible, first-come, first-served) from the official page before using! Also, there are many places where there are no fences from the slope to the river, so it would be safer to avoid letting children use the restroom alone!

I was worried about the typhoon that day, so I made a reservation and went. The weather was nice and there were only a few other campers, so it was quiet and enjoyable. I was surprised that it was free, but the facilities were a bit difficult. It was a good campsite that I could live with if it was free.

This is a campsite that you can use after contacting the campsite manager. We really had a relaxing time at a very quiet campsite. There is a river flowing nearby, but the slope is steep and the current is fast, so swimming in the river is not possible.

It's a nice, free and quiet campsite. The water in the hand washing area is not potable, so please bring your own drinking water.

Now that the camping boom is in full swing, this is a valuable free camping site in Kanto and nearby prefectures.Application is required, but it is free to use.It is convenient because you can apply online.I think it's an average grade for a free campsite.Although it takes a bit of a narrow road to access, it is not far from the city center, so it is not inconvenient for shopping etc., and I think it is a very good location.Please slow down when accessing the village.The kitchen has a small sink and the water is not drinkable.The toilets are one size and one small and cannot be called clean.Although it is not possible to drive in, the parking lot is next to the site and there is no difference in height, so I think there will be no difficulty in bringing it in.The site is basically a lawn, but of course it's full of weeds, and there are a lot of unidentified insects.If you don't like everything, don't come. Average for free campsites.There is a river flowing right next to it, so even if there is some noise, it will be drowned out by the flow and you can expect a good night's sleep.

Reservations are required. The parking lot is full on weekends, and the site is not large, so first come, first served. You can rest assured that there are no bear warnings, which are common at campgrounds in mountainous areas.

A hidden campsite that you won't believe is free! !The tap water is raw water, so you can't drink it directly, but the restrooms are clean, it's close to the parking lot, and the stars are clear, so it's nice enough.
