Oishikogen Camping Ground

I don't like it😑

A typhoon came at 1am.The wind was so strong I thought I was going to die.It might be stimulating.

Great if the weather is nice!I learned about the roundness of the earth and the vastness of the universe!

(with additional notes)This is a campsite in the sky. There are only three bike sites. It's quite small, but the price is 520 yen per night. Large enough to fit a small tarp. A small tent is recommended. Bonfires are strictly prohibited, but unfortunately there are many groups that do not follow the rules. If the conditions are good, you can see full stars, but unfortunately the light pollution in Wakayama City. There are no showers, but it's great that the toilet has a washlet. The views at sunset and before dawn are spectacular.(add from here)It has been renewed in the spring of 2022.Prices seem to have gone up, so please check the Kimino Town website. It was super cheap to use the bike, but on the day before the holiday it was 2200 yen. disappointing…

There is another place with facilities, but this one has a spectacular view and is truly a campsite in the sky.If you go into a private toilet room at night, it will be pitch black after a certain period of time, and since the altitude is over 800m, you need to be careful as the contents of your plastic bottle may come out due to changes in atmospheric pressure.Since April, the price of the plot has doubled.That said, if you are going with 5-6 people, the price is not much different from other campgrounds.

As of May 2022.This is a campsite attached to Oishi Plateau.The renovation work included adding power, improving the vehicle access road to the site, and improving the boundaries of the site.Reservations can be made by phone as usual, and check-in can be done at Yamanoie Oishi in Oishi Kogen.Since it has been renovated, the price has gone up from before.large section1-12 Camping: 3,850 yen (weekdays), 5,500 yen (holidays, days before holidays). Day camp 2310 yen (weekdays), 3300 yen excursion (holidays, days before holidays)small plot13-16 Camping: 1,540 yen (weekdays), 2,200 yen (holidays and days before holidays). Day camp: 770 yen (weekdays), 1100 yen (day before holidays).When you get off the road, the area on the right is a traditional section, and the path has been paved (brick-colored pavement) during this construction.On the left is a newly created long and narrow area, the path is unpaved and the road surface is full of ballast.There are big differences in the view and tent setup depending on the area, so on weekdays, it would be wise to call to inquire about the location. (Although it is called a large section, section 1 is extremely narrow, and sections 2 and 3 are long and narrow, so tents etc. will be limited.)What you should be careful about is that even though it has been renovated, the ground is still hard. Although it is recommended that the tent be free-standing, the genuine pegs and hammers that come with the tent are of little use, so beginners should be careful. In addition to the pegs, the ground is hard and there are many ballasts, so a ground sheet is essential. (If you do not lay it down, there may be holes in the tent ground.)good points○The view is great because it is on a plateau.○If the weather is good, you can even see the Milky Way at night.○ Kitchen available (nostalgic type from the Showa era)Surveillance cameras have been installed in the kitchen.○There is a toilet (Japanese and Western style, it can be used at night and is well maintained) with automatic night lighting.○Aside from the campsite, there are plenty of photo spots such as eating at Yamanoie Oishi and strolling around Oishi Plateau.○ Drone photography is possible if you apply to the town hall. (It will take 10 days for the application to be approved)others△Bonfires prohibited△No kitchen lights (lights required)△Please take all your garbage home (no garbage bags distributed, no garbage dumps); there is a charcoal dump site.△Since the vending machine is located inside a mountain house, you cannot use the vending machine when the shutter is closed in the evening.△The wind is strong△ Fog tends to appearimportant pointPrefectural roads in this area are often closed due to landslides (Nogami-Shimizu Line is closed), so it is wise to contact the town hall or mountain house in advance before setting out.There are no stores near the campsite where you can buy food. Also, once you enter Prefectural Route 108, the road is narrow and there are no stores, so the last place you can get ingredients is around Lawson in front of Kimino Town Hall.

Since the campsite will be closed for a while from November 2021 due to renovation work, I visited solo on a weekday in September when there were few people, which was a little outside of the best time to see the pampas grass ⛺️Oishi Plateau is famous for its pampas grass fields, which are said to be the best in Kansai.The grassland spreads out on a gentle mountain at an altitude of 870 meters. In autumn, you can see a sea of ​​clouds over pampas grass and mountains as far as the eye can see, like a golden ocean ✨ A 360-degree panoramic view from the top of the mountain 👀 On a clear day, you can see as far as Rokko, Awaji, and Shikoku ✨ The rocky place is perfect for Instagram Popularity⚠️There have been reports of bear sightings, so it's dangerous when there's no one else around, so don't go near the top of the mountain, and don't leave any garbage out! The administrator went around the site and reminded us 🐻💦For young people who don't know about this, it's also a campground where you can hear happy voices and come in groups at night or to watch the sunrise.▶︎Administration buildingYamanoie Oishi 9:30-16:30Snacks and vending machines available←Available only during business hoursFor camping accommodation reservations, please call 📞Please also fill in the car number at the time of reception.▶︎Auto site large section7m✖️Equivalent to 6m. A large tent may require two sections. They are separated by ropes. Driving the pegs in is a little difficult due to the soil and gravel. Someone's aluminum peg was left in the ground in a broken state.🚙The seats will fill up in the order of arrival, starting from the front closest to the kitchen. On weekdays, you can skip one place and keep a distance from your neighbors, but on weekends you might feel cramped ⛺️🚙⛺️🚗⛺️🚘▶︎Bike small section (mountain side)▶︎Cooking areaDrinkable tap water only.There is no electricity.▶︎ToiletPublic restrooms (Japanese and Western) can be used normally depending on the level of cleanliness 🚻 It's about 2 minutes up the hill from the site, so get there early 🚶‍♂️ lol▶︎Bonfires are prohibited (charcoal 🆗) If the person using them misbehaves, there will be more prohibited items 🥲▶︎Take all trash home▶︎SceneryWhen the weather clears up, you can enjoy the sky dyed by the setting sun, the mountains, the sea, and the night view from the comfort of your tent 🌃▶︎RoadThere are many curves, so be careful when passing 🚗⚠️ Due to the high altitude, the weather can change easily, so be careful of being covered in fog, temperature differences, and strong winds. tc There was a lot of condensation in the tent.If the weather is nice, you can enjoy the best camping 👍postscript2022,4 As a campsite in the skyIt has been reopenedAreas are getting wider and prices are going up.Very disappointing for solo use...

As of March 6th, it was 1 degree below zero.I learned that pampas grass must be harvested. For this year? The rezoning of the campground was in progress.Because it's a camping boom

This is a campsite at the top of the mountain at an altitude of 900m.The divided site is a vertically long site and is not large.Large shelters that have become popular in recent years cannot be set up unless two or more plots are secured.The bottom of the site is gravel and the aluminum pegs are tough.The toilet is a bit of a walk, but it's clean.There is no electricity at the waterhole, so you will need a flashlight or lantern.Basically, bonfires are prohibited.Depending on the location, there are sections where you have to park in the parking lot.Because of the altitude, mornings and evenings are cool even in summer.I gave it 4 stars as a campsite, but Oishi Plateau is famous for its pampas grass, and the scenery here is spectacular.The terrain makes it easy to see a sea of ​​clouds, not only in autumn.If you go up the promenade next to the toilet, you will see a large rock that is famous for Instagram.

The view is good❗The toilet is clean! ️If you go up a little bit, you will find the spacious Oishi Plateau.Camping on windy days can be difficult.The wind from the south seems to be manageable up to A9-A12.C1-C3 (motorcycle) section (walls block it).The lot size is small for families, but please check it on Google Maps.The prices are reasonable (see photo).As of March 2021, only bonfires are prohibited.Gas stoves and charcoal fires are OK.This is the result of bad manners at a bonfire...That's a shame.Applications are accepted from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.Oh, I forgot to ask you about your day off💦Sorry, please check with TEL.
