Description

Korean national park campgrounds are situated near beautiful landscapes of blue sea, sandy beaches, waterfalls, towering forested mountains, or dramatic rocky pinnacles. In recent years, camping has become a favorite Korean vacation trend. As a result of this trend, national park campsites are well tended, have camping fees that are easy on the pocketbook, and are safe places. If you want to escape from the concrete jungle, to be closer with nature, and to travel within financial means, camping in Korean national parks answers all these needs, but it also offers a lot more.

• Descriptions of Korea's twenty national parks and their campgrounds

• Over 250 photographs showing the various charms of the parks

• All the practical information on campgrounds, from facilities and fees to emergency contacts

• Easy-to-follow campground directions and maps

• Details on nearby tourist destinations
