There are automatic sites (with power supply) and free sites. If you don't go to free sites early, you will be limited in the number of good places to pitch your tent.For fall and winter camping, it's a good idea to use an autosite that has power because you can use an electric blanket or heater inside the tent with an extension cord.

It was very clean and I was able to camp comfortably, and the staff were very helpful.I would like to go again.It was a free site, and it cost just over 1,000 yen, but I ended up paying just over 2,000 yen.

My family of four used the campsite. They kindly responded to questions regarding schedules, etc.The toilets and washing areas were well maintained, and supplies such as toilet paper and disinfectant were provided, so I felt safe using them. We also rent and sell tents and consumables for camping, so we felt it was easy for beginners to use.In some other comments, some people gave low ratings because of the presence of millipedes (Yanbartosaka millipedes), but millipedes have been confirmed in half of the municipalities in Kagoshima prefecture, and even in Tokyo (Hachijojima). ), is an unpleasant pest native to Taiwan that has been found in a wide range of Japan, including Kanagawa, Kochi, Miyazaki, and Okinawa prefectures. They do not bite or sting, but if irritated they will emit a cyanide-like odor. The season is from September to November, but there are multiple populations that are separated, and in areas where it has been introduced for many years, outbreaks occur all season. In particular, research has shown that they prefer moist areas that are not exposed to sunlight, and that they prefer slightly alkaline concrete. It feeds on fallen leaves and rotting wood, and is often found in urban areas, so it is only natural that it would be seen at the facility, which is located in a mountainous area.There were a lot of mosquitoes. I think it's synonymous with the expression "I won't use it anymore." This is a bit off topic, but I would like to say that I gave it a low rating for a reason that is not a problem caused by the facility itself. (It is impossible to eradicate the millipede, and the only option is to exterminate the individuals that appear each time with granules or liquid.)I gave it a rating of 4 because some of the parks my children used were dilapidated and could not be used.We assume that it is operated by a company that has received a designated management contract from Minamikyushu City. As mentioned earlier, the staff who dealt with me had no particular problems.*Dog runs, etc. are not included in this review as they are not used.

It was very good.I went camping with my dog on a weekday. It was a weekday, so it was empty, and the only sounds you could hear were the sounds of insects and birds. There was also a large dog run.After the lights went out at 10pm, the starry sky was beautiful.

I used the power site.When I arrived at the campsite and checked in, I was told that there was only one person there, but I couldn't choose a site.It's a shame because part of the fun was choosing the plot.The young man at the reception is unfriendly and seems unmotivated.I couldn't say that she was a very good clerk.As for the campsite, the lawn and kitchen area were well maintained and easy to use.docomo is also always connected.

Use an auto campsite. It's a nice place. The facilities were well managed and I enjoyed spending meaningful time with my family. There is one Western-style toilet, and the rest are Japanese-style, and the Western-style toilets do not have washlets. I think if all the toilets were equipped with Western-style washlets, user satisfaction would further increase. The next morning when I was out for a walk, I looked at some free sites and found this one to be a good place as well. Next time I would like to visit the free site.

I used the dog run.I think the facility itself is pretty normal, but small dogs are not allowed to play there.That's because people like the Whippet Army are occupying the area as if they own it.The pricing is not based on how much it costs per dog, but rather how much it costs per person, which may be perfect for people who have multiple large dogs.It looks like a den for a large dog.I let them play in a corner so they wouldn't get in the way, but they ended up being attacked by multiple heads.There is no consideration for the owners of the whippets that attack them.Not really, but I don't think I'll go there anymore.For the first time in a while, I felt like I was throwing money away.
