There was no sound of cars or houses in sight, so I was able to spend a relaxing and comfortable time in the quiet nature.There is a caretaker there, and the space is just right, not too big or too small, and there are no cars, so you can feel safe.There are playground equipment and an open space, so you can have fun with your children.The site is on a slope,The bottom and right side of the layout plan are high, and the Wanpaku Square is the lowest land.The road leading from the administration building to the kitchen is the standard road, so sites 7 and 8 are along the road and I think it is relatively easy to bring in luggage, but sites 1 to 6 and 10 to 14 are uphill. Because it is necessary, I think it will be difficult if you have a lot of luggage. The higher the view, the better.Route 9, which I used this time, was a little difficult because it was a little downhill from the road, but it was close to a playground so I could let the kids play, and it wasn't too far from the restrooms. In addition to the Wanpaku Square, you can also play in the square in front of the site by catching insects and looking for Japanese snakes.For more information, there are people who upload details such as the location and size of the site on YouTube, so you may want to refer to it.The site is on dirt, so the seats will get dirty after rain.The toilet is a bio-toilet, but there was no smell, it was clean and comfortable to use.There are no sponges or detergent in the kitchen, so you will need to bring your own. Synthetic detergents cannot be used. There was a review saying that the water was undrinkable, but when I checked with the manager, he said it was fine because the water was purified.There are coin showers and toilets in the administration building. It felt clean. There is a hair dryer. There are picture books on the waiting room sofa that you can borrow freely. I borrowed a picture book and read it in my tent before going to bed.There are no vending machines or shops. The nearest one is 7-Eleven.There are spiders everywhere, including play equipment and toilets. Perhaps because of this, I feel like there are fewer unpleasant pests such as other winged insects. Since it's in the forest, there are a lot of bugs, but I'm glad I didn't have to worry about bugs and not be able to open the bathroom door.The fee has increased to 3,000 yen from this year, so I think there will be complaints, but the site has been mowed and kept in good condition, and a manager is always on site.I don't think it's expensive.Isn't it impossible to pay 650 yen these days even though it's municipally run? I think so. However, it may be difficult for solo campers because there is no quota for the number of people.I want to go again soon! It has become my favorite campsite.

The last time I used it, it was around 600 yen for a night of camping, but when I tried to make a reservation for the first time in a while, it was 3000 yen, and I was like, "Huh?"There are a lot of hills, it's not an auto campground, and the roads are bad, but I thought it was cheap and had showers, but the prices had gone up so much that I didn't feel like going.I'm very disappointed.

2022/10 This is a beautifully maintained campsite, but the site is built on the slope of the mountain, so going up and down the slope from the parking lot to the site is a little difficult.The free rental cart is a little small, so I had to go back and forth twice. However, the site is leveled properly, and the ground is hard soil, so it might be difficult to put the pegs in unless you have a hammer. On the day I used it (early October 2022), I saw about 10 stink bugs around the tent and removed them. Yes, it might be a good idea to prepare stink bug insecticide if possible, the toilets have been changed to bio-toilets, the manager is kind and attentive from the time of reception, and the campsite costs 620 yen. I am grateful that it is reasonably priced and can be used easily when I want to go.Addendum: Unfortunately, the usage fee for the facility I tried to use on May 2024 has suddenly increased to 3,000 yen... It's difficult to carry my luggage without power, so I can't afford this amount, so I removed it from my list. Missed. Stars changed from 4 to 2

It was beautiful, cheap, and popular, but from April 2020, it seems that the price has been raised to 3,000 yen for camping accommodation. It's not automatic and doesn't have a power supply, so the price is unbeatable in a sense. .

Available in September 2021.Price: ¥620 per site (2 tents, 1 turf, 2 adults)Purchase: 7/11 is about 10 minutes away by car. There are no supermarkets etc.Firewood: 1 roll of hardwood ¥600.-Bathing: You can use the shower room until around 9pm (100 yen for 10 minutes, hair dryer included)Sanitary: Clean and well maintained (no hot water)Toilet: There are two bio-toilets on site (for those who are not comfortable with it, there is a flush toilet with a washlet in the office)Garbage: Completely take homeFireworks: ProhibitedEntry: Not allowed (Free carts available *There will be a waiting list during busy periods)【thoughts】The receptionist and staff are kind.There is a 1m step difference between the sites, increasing the sense of privacy.The loading road is unpaved and has some slopes, making it difficult to transport with a carrier with small tires. We recommend using the free cart.Although the altitude is high, there are no views as it is in the forest.There is great play equipment that will be a delight for families with children.At 9:00 p.m., I am making rounds.When I used it, there were no people making a noise and I was able to enjoy camping quietly.Open fires are prohibited, and there was no evidence of an open fire.Firewood is easy to use because it is chopped into small pieces, but it does not last long.Cars and motorcycles are not allowed, but it was cool to pull a free cart to the site.I will use it again.*Updated information*From April 2024, the fee for one site will be ¥3,000.For details, please refer to the official website

It's a good campsite, with terraces and moderate hardwood trees, flush toilets and showers in the administration building, and a good price, but the steep slopes of the terraces make it difficult to transport camping equipment, so I deducted one star. P.S. Tap water comes from a stream, so it needs to be boiled.

I used this campground about 4 years ago. The manager was nice, and the bath and shower were located in the administration building (24 hours), and the toilet was nice and clean, but students who came in a group? They were so noisy until midnight, they called their friends over, drank alcohol, and made loud noises, so I couldn't sleep, and the manager didn't pay any attention to me.It's a shame because the price was cheap and the facilities were clean.
