I'd been wanting to visit "Druwal Camping Site" for ages, especially after seeing it featured by a popular Korean celebrity on the famous TV show, "I Live Alone."

This is a must-visit for dog owners, and let me tell you, the facilities are incredibly well-maintained and comprehensive. They really thought of everything!

A huge bonus? There's no extra charge for up to three dogs, which is a fantastic perk for multi-dog families.

The campsite is divided into A, B, and C sections. The C section, along with the convenience store and dog park, is located on the lower level, while sections A and B are on a slightly elevated, second level.

Although the C section's sites are inside the dog park, meaning you can't park your car directly next to your tent and might need a cart for luggage, the upside is incredibly easy and frequent access to the dog park!

Sites A-4, A-5, and B-2 are specifically for car camping. The rest of the A and B sections allow you to park your car directly in front of or next to your site, making luggage transfer a breeze.

My trusty Coleman pop-up tent has been with me for years! Every site here comes with a tarp already set up, which was incredibly convenient. No need to pitch our own, and we didn't have to worry about rain at all.

We managed to snag the prime B-3 site! Here's why I consider it the best spot:

① You can park right next to your site.

② It's super close to all the amenities.

③ It's slightly elevated with an unobstructed, open view.

If you prefer a more secluded corner, B-8 would be a great choice. And if being close to both the dog park and amenities is your priority, C-1 looks excellent (plus, no cart needed for luggage!).

Just soaking in the mountain views and enjoying some quiet contemplation!

Although the A and B sections face each other, the sites are incredibly spacious, so you never feel bothered by your neighbors. The sheer size of the sites was a definite plus.

This is the building where all the fantastic amenities are located!

The convenience store truly has everything you might need – well, almost! All the basic camping essentials were available for purchase. You simply jot down your site number and the items you take, and then settle up at the end. Plus, the campground owner makes fresh coffee for guests!

The dedicated dog shower room is amazing, complete with a dryer! Mocha didn't need a bath this time, but I can imagine how useful this space would be during a summer visit after some water play.

The restrooms and sinks were spotless, and there's even a refrigerator available for storing your food!

Behind the amenities building, there's even a lovely stream! It looks like a perfect spot to cool off and splash around during the summer months.

Mocha's favorite spot – the dog park! It's spacious and pristine with artificial turf. In the summer, there's even a swimming pool for some extra fun!

✔ All sites feature private fences and installed tarps.

✔ Amenities are clean and well-maintained.

✔ It's a no-kids zone, and only two teams can book, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere.

✔ The dog park is expansive, and there's even a dedicated dog shower room.

✔ Easy luggage transfer with car parking directly at sites, and car camping options are available.

The only minor drawback? It's not incredibly close to Seoul. However, if you're searching for a top-notch, dog-friendly campsite with excellent facilities, I wholeheartedly recommend Druwal Camping Site!
