Camping Car Trip to Chilbongsan โ€“ A Summer Healing Drive Embraced by the Imjin River

๐Ÿ•๏ธ Travel Background Escaping the stress-filled daily life to fully relax in nature, I embarked on a camping car trip to Chilbongsan (Chilbong Recreation Area). This serene and picturesque spot in Yeoncheon County, Gyeonggi Province, became my personal summer oasis as I parked my camping car there. ๐ŸŒ„ Camping Car Setup & Surroundings The camping car was parked near the entrance of the recreation area at a deck equipped with electricity and water facilities. This allowed for the full use of air conditioning, a refrigerator, and a kitchen, making it a practical "car camping + camping" experience. The surroundings were filled with the clear streams of the Imjin River and lush forests, offering a tranquility that is impossible to find in the city. โ˜€๏ธ Day 1 โ€“ Stream Relaxation & Nature Healing โ€ข Morning: Upon arrival, I opened the camping car door and woke up on a cozy bed. The first coffee of the day, enjoyed under the warm sunlight, marked the beginning of a true reset. โ€ข Afternoon: Played in the shallow waters of the Imjin River with my child, barefoot. The gentle current made it safe and enjoyable. The sunlight filtering through the leaves and the sound of splashing water provided genuine healing. โ€ข Evening: Grilled meat outdoors next to the camping car. Pairing the prepared side dishes and a glass of wine in the air-conditioned indoor kitchen brought a comfort thatโ€™s hard to find in the city. ๐ŸŒ™ Night โ€“ Fire Watching and Stargazing As darkness fell, it was time for fire watching at the table in front of the camping car. Even the small flames lit with a camping lighter provided warmth, and the twinkling stars, bright enough to photograph the Milky Way, washed away the fatigue of the day. I fell asleep reading a book under the light of an electric adapter. ๐ŸŒž Day 2 โ€“ A Relaxing Departure โ€ข Morning: Woke up to the sound of birds. A latte prepared the day before and the refreshing river breeze through the camping car door made for a perfect start. โ€ข Morning Walk: Took a light hike on the nearby hill, enjoying the sounds of insects and the quiet flow of the stream. The sweat dried quickly, leaving me feeling refreshed. โ€ข Cleanup & Departure: Tidied up the electricity and water facilities and took a refreshing shower before leaving. On the way back to Seoul, the sound of the car on the road carried a hint of regret about returning to the city. ๐Ÿ’ก Tips Summary Category Tips Equipment Well-equipped with electricity, water, and shower facilities, suitable for both camping cars and car camping Swimming & Water Play Check the stream depth and weather conditions Food Preparation Bring convenient camping food (barbecue + snacks) and coffee for enhanced satisfaction Summer Gear Mosquito repellents, portable folding items, and insect screens are recommended Season Recommendation Visit during weekdays to avoid the summer peak season crowds โœจ Overall Rating No need to choose between "car camping vs camping car"โ€”a camping car is the best option! Less than an hour from the city, you can enjoy the ocean-like Imjin River, the refreshing sound of the stream, and the starlit night sky. Chilbong Recreation Area is the perfect destination for summer vibes, natural healing, and is highly recommended for families, couples, or solo travelers.
