Tateharakogen Camping Ground

This is one of the best campgrounds with spectacular views. The only drawback is that it's not very accessible, but even with that, I'm glad I went to this campsite!The manager of the administration building is very kind. Garbage needs to be sorted very carefully, but I'm very grateful to be able to throw it away and go home! You can purchase 6 kg of firewood for 800 yen. Charcoal was 700 yen for 3 kg (as of October 2024). You can also use credit cards. I'm glad it's not cash only.It's about 1,400 meters above sea level, so it's best to take precautions against the cold. We used the free observation site, but you cannot park your car on the front side of the slope where the view is good. Auto camping is possible at the rear. However, I definitely recommend the site where you can see the spectacular view from the front. Please see the photo for the atmosphere.There is one toilet in the administration building, Japanese style. Additionally, the free site has a water source and four temporary toilets. Temporary toilets are relatively clean, but you can imagine that they can get pretty dirty if users don't clean them thoroughly after each use.I cleaned the temporary toilet every time I used it. Also, it didn't seem like the toilet paper was replenished in time, so I went to the administration building to pick it up and restock it. I used it on weekdays, the lights were off at 9pm, and everyone who used it had very good manners, so I had a good night's sleep.It's more like a campsite where adults can relax and enjoy the scenery, rather than a campsite where children make a lot of noise. If you want to enjoy the night for a certain amount of time, it may be best to use a subdivision site.Please note that there will naturally be a lot of humidity and morning dew, so please do not leave paper items outside before going to bed, and of course be sure to put away living things and food. There will be wild animals.The disadvantage of this is that there will be no one in the night management building. It was a great camping trip as there were only quiet adults there on weekdays, but on Saturdays and Sundays there might be troublesome people who stay up late and make noise. At times like this, I'm worried that the manager doesn't visit. In a sense, it felt like a campsite with too much freedom.Finally, there is a wonderful hot spring facility, Takimi-no-Yu, about 5 minutes away by car. If you get a discount ticket at the campsite, you can get 100 yen off, so we recommend this (400 yen per person with discount!). Please note that we are closed on Tuesdays. This is a recommended campsite!

I used it in early August. I've been camping here for 30 years, and I think it's the best campsite. The service, customer service, location, and the stars are beautiful. It was great to see the Milky Way.

I used the free observation site for 1 night and 2 days during the Obon holiday.Even with a friend of mine who has been camping with me for a long time and his son, two cars, three solo tents, and two tarps, the cost was only 1,500 yen per person.The site is a flat area about the size of a soccer field, and the surface layer is mostly gravel, with no slopes and no large trees, so I don't think it's suitable for people looking for shade.On the other hand, there is nothing to obstruct the view of the mountain opposite, and the sky is open.I don't know if it was the Perseid meteor shower, but I could see a shooting star between the clouds near the zenith.There were temporary toilets, a water source, and a corner of what appeared to be a sauna at the edge of the site.There was also a fire hydrant.In addition to the temporary toilets, there are also toilets in front of the administration building, and the men's one has a urinal and a Western-style flush, and although there were a lot of moths, it was in good condition.There is a hose with a jet next to the washing button, so if you can't wash it off with water alone or it gets dirty, you can clean it yourself.As a side note, there seems to be a joke or a myth that people can mistake this for a washlet, but you should be careful as it could cause serious trouble.On the morning of the second day, I walked around the forest site, and the first thing that struck me was how well-maintained the forest was, with thinning and tree planting.There are paved roads within the park, but in many places you can easily take shortcuts by walking through the trees.There is also a stage, a play facility with a zip line, and a long slide, so your kids won't get bored.There is also a shower room and washer/dryer, so you can stay overnight without stress.The Rinkan site is naturally surrounded by trees, so I think it's suitable for people who like this kind of atmosphere.Personally, out of all of them, the free viewing site with excellent cost performance was the best.One thing to note is that this observation free site is difficult to get stuck in with pegs in quite a few places.If you use thin, lightweight, soft material, it will bend, so we strongly recommend pegs made of the hardest material possible.By the way, I bent the ends of two L-shaped pegs, and bent four thin pegs in the middle and at the head.September 15-16, 2024I went to the free viewing site for the second time following last month, and pitched a tent (1 solo, 1 duo, 1 dog) and a tarp in the same spot.This time the weather changed rapidly, with blue skies and rain falling, but although this site had a lot of gravel and was difficult to drive pegs into, I thought the water drainage was relatively good.After my previous experience, I changed all the pegs to titanium, and found that I could drive them with a larger, harder hammer.At this campsite, you can throw away almost anything as long as you properly separate it, and even OD cans and other things are equipped with degassing devices, so you can dispose of them by removing them.Another new thing I learned was that if I arrived much earlier than my reservation time, I could get in about an hour early if I paid 10% of the fare.

I went there.＞Site (site used = free view)・Free entry・The rear site can be attached to the side of the car.・Move the observation side to the on-site parking lot*About 5 cars on each side of the site, 20-30m from the site center・Solid state required・There are regulations regarding the number of people that can be accommodated, so you won't feel cramped.*The observation side is popular and fills up quickly.・No open flames allowed・Lights off 21:00＞Amount・￥1,500/person (in14:00-out11:00)・Card OK＞Location・Mountains (sunrise, beautiful night sky)・Great view・However, if you look directly below the observation site, there is a cabbage field, so it will be a bit intimidating.・Since the altitude is about 1400, it is assumed that it is about 10 degrees lower, so there is a large difference in temperature between morning and evening.＞Sanitary etc.・Toilets are 4 temporary flush toilets.・It has been cleaned so it feels relatively clean, but it is assumed that it will get dirty as the number of users increases. Because it is narrow, it can easily cause overflow, and men can only do so by leaving the door ajar.・Although women can also use the facilities, most people use the separate toilets for men and women located in the management office. This is also easy to wash・There are 4 water sources with roofs and only room temperature water available.・This area is also cleaned in a timely manner.＞For referenceI visited the auto site.・Mountain forest site using mountain slope・There are sites that branch off from the road like an ant's nest, giving a sense of privacy.・The roads inside the auto site are narrow and cars cannot pass each other.・There is a sanitary building at the center, but there are ups and downs, so a water tank is essential.*This information is my personal opinion during the tour, so please check for details.＞Others・The manager is a nice person.・Firewood is cheap! ¥700 (1 container)・Trash disposal OK (finely separated, charcoal dumping area available)・You can receive a discount ticket for “Takimi-no-Yu”, which is about a 5-minute drive away, depending on the number of nights you stay.*Usually ¥500⇒¥400 cheaper・By the way, Aiki soba from “Takimi no Yu” is a must-try dish.＞OverviewThe price of 1,500 yen per night is attractive, and it's nice to be able to use the hot springs for 400 yen with a discount coupon.The observation site has a great view, but if you are bringing children, you should use the rear site just in case. The height is so high that even if you fall, you won't get into a bad situation.In order to maintain this, users must act in a sensible manner, otherwise they will have to take measures such as installing fences, which will reduce the original appeal.We are conscious of the environment, recommend non-polluting detergents, and clearly separate garbage.There will soon be people who ignore these rules, but I believe that following the rules will lead to good campsite management. It becomes necessary to incur costs and impose material restrictions to prevent these people, and it ceases to be the nature camp it was originally intended to be.It's one of my favorite campgrounds.
