2. The Courtyard & BBQ Area

So exciting!~~
Seeing the tents really made it feel like we had finally arrived!
This is the spot we picked,
and as you can see, each tent has its own private
BBQ grill set up and ready.


This is how we goof around as a playful couple in our 20s!
The courtyard is absolutely massive, right?
While hotels are comfortable,
you're mostly stuck indoors
with not much to do other than sleep.
But at Eight Seasons Glamping,
the yard is huge, and if you head up the path,
there are cool sculptures and structures that look like a movie set,
making it an amazing place to visit with kids.
We saw several families there with their little ones,
and you can see the "big kid" in our family (aka my husband)
running around with sheer excitement!
hahaha


After unpacking, we immediately got started on BBQ prep!
Make sure to give yourself a good 30 minutes to get the fire going.
According to the staff,
they usually provide electric grills during the summer,
and charcoal when it's chilly or windy.
Since it was a bit breezy the day we visited, we got to cook over charcoal!
You can bring your own meat,
but if you run out, they sell top-tier, premium meats
right at the Eight Seasons Glamping Market,
so you can easily buy more there.
We tried some, and the meat was incredibly fresh—
just like what you'd get at a high-end local market!

hahaha
We've been married for 5 years now, but if my husband still looks this cute to me,
we're basically still newlyweds, right...?
Thanks to my hubby, we enjoyed some incredibly delicious grilled meat!
3. Room Tour & Pricing


Here's the interior of the Loft
that we booked for our family getaway.
Honestly, my entire family felt like
this was luxury enough to easily qualify as premium!
The bedroom, bathroom, and amenities were all top-notch and upscale.


My husband and I took the upstairs bedroom,
while my parents slept in the first-floor bedroom.
Both floors had perfect temperature control and pristine bedding!
And there was a good reason for that—

As you can see,
the amenities are by Bvlgari..!
Both the texture and the scent felt so incredibly luxurious.
Another thing I was extremely happy with!
It was the kitchenware.
If you want to enjoy a proper barbecue dinner,
you really need a generous supply of kitchen utensils, right?
They had all kinds of tableware, cutlery, and cooking tools fully stocked,
which made dining so incredibly convenient and easy.

Here is the price list taken from their official website.
But we actually managed to book it much cheaper
using a Trip.com promo code~

4. Luxurious Finnish Sauna
When you pour water over the stones, the steam rises and
instantly warms up the air inside.
This is the Finnish dry sauna
at Hongcheon Eight Seasons Glamping!
All the built-up fatigue and toxins from daily life
just melted away completely.
I swear my skin looked brighter and firmer afterward, haha.


Pouring 1 or 2 ladles of water at a time is just perfect.
Breathing in the natural phytoncide from the Hinoki cypress wood
instantly cleared my head and made me feel so refreshed!
5. Healing Campfire Time
Crackle, crackle...
Isn't the sound of burning firewood just the best?
I finally understood why people love glamping so much.
Gazing into the flames with your eyes,
listening to the fire crackle with your ears...
it was pure healing bliss.

It's a shame it doesn't show up clearly in the photos,
but the night sky was filled with countless stars
that you rarely get to see in a big city like Seoul.
This family trip to Eight Seasons allowed us to
have those long overdue conversations,
reconnect, and make beautiful memories together. It was just wonderful.


We even prepped marshmallows ahead of time for the campfire, haha. 🍢
The campfire is optional and comes with an extra fee, but
I highly, highly recommend it!
Who knows how many chances we'll have in the future
to sit in a circle with family like this, cozying up by the fire
and sharing deep conversations!
