One Night in the Forest of Byeongsan-gol: 15:00 Check-in, Dinner, and Pool Hours to Know Before Using Chueon Forest Camping Site

Correct the address first for the 2017-registered ‘Chowon Forest Campground’ and Byeongsangol Garden

Chowon Forest Camping is a campground in Gijang-gun registered with Korea Tourism Organization Go Camping as ‘Chowon Forest Campground.’ In the registration list, the general camping business registration date is listed as September 4, 2017, and the location is shown as Byeongsan-ri 566, Jeonggwan-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan Metropolitan City, based on the parcel-number address at the time.

The road-name address currently provided is 18 Byeongsan 1-gil, Jeonggwan-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan Metropolitan City, and the names ‘Byeongsangol Forest Tourist Farm’ and ‘Byeongsangol Garden’ are also used. Since navigation results may differ, it is best to cross-check the road-name address and the phone number 051-727-3067 before departure.

A 10-unit glamping site: the schedule between 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out

External camping information introduces it as a total of 10 units combining glamping and pension accommodations. Check-in is at 15:00 and check-out is at 11:00 the next day, and other tourism information also lists the usage time as from 15:00 to 11:00 the following day.

The usage guide posted in 2025 states that check-in is possible from 15:00 to 20:00. If you may arrive late, it is better to ask in advance at 051-727-3067 whether check-in after 20:00 on the day is possible and how to receive the key. Operation is marked as year-round, but room, pool, and dining operations should be reconfirmed through the reservation screen by date and by phone.

• Check-in: 15:00
• Check-out: 11:00 the next day
• Registration inquiry phone: 051-727-3067
• Separate mobile number provided: 010-4719-3068

Dinner from 17:00 to 19:30 and breakfast from 08:30 to 10:00: the scope of meal-included packages

The Chowon Forest Campground guide states that dinner and breakfast are included in the glamping fee. Separate detailed guidance says the standard occupancy is 2 people, with a maximum of 5 people, and that the basic fee includes barbecue dinner and breakfast. Past public prices were 190,000 to 280,000 KRW for 2 people, and the representative price on another sales page was 210,000 KRW, so prices vary depending on the stay date and room type.

Dinner hours are listed as 17:00 to 19:30, and the breakfast self-service bar is available from 08:30 to 10:00. Breakfast items are listed as brewed coffee, toast and strawberry jam, fruit, and beverages, but the menu may change, so if you have allergies or follow a vegetarian diet, you should confirm before booking.

• Standard occupancy: 2 people
• Maximum occupancy: 5 people
• Additional person: 30,000 KRW per person, with 10,000 KRW for children under 7
• Dinner: 17:00 to 19:30
• Breakfast: 08:30 to 10:00

Pool hours of 09:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 21:00: consider the 2-hour midday break

The pool is available from 09:00 to 12:00 in the morning and from 14:00 to 21:00 in the afternoon, leaving a gap from 12:00 to 14:00. If you plan water activities, splitting them into after 3 PM right after check-in or after 9 AM the next morning can help avoid overlapping with meal times.

Registration and tourism information mention a trampoline, a jokgu court, an animal farm, and a cafe in addition to the pool. However, because I could not confirm the opening status of seasonal facilities, safety rules, or whether children may use them alone from the latest official notice, it is necessary to check by phone before finalizing your stay.

• Morning pool: 09:00 to 12:00
• Afternoon pool: 14:00 to 21:00
• Period listed as maintenance time: 12:00 to 14:00
• Listed facilities: trampoline, jokgu court, animal farm, cafe

Parking for one vehicle, bringing toiletries, and how to avoid extra charges

Parking is available, and there is information that one vehicle is included as part of glamping use, with an additional 10,000 KRW per extra vehicle. Groups traveling with two or more vehicles should inform the campground of the number of vehicles at the time of booking and confirm the additional parking space and fee.

There is guidance that toiletries, towels, toothbrushes, and toothpaste are not provided by default. It says towels can be purchased at the management office for 2,000 KRW and toothbrush/toothpaste for 2,000 KRW, but stock and prices may change. The barbecue area heater rental is listed at 10,000 KRW, an extra blanket at 5,000 KRW, and a set of electric mat and blanket at 10,000 KRW, so it may be worth checking bedding options during the chilly season.

• Basic parking: one vehicle included
• Additional parking: 10,000 KRW per vehicle
• Toiletries: not provided by default
• Barbecue area heater: rental at 10,000 KRW
• Pets: not allowed

Get off in front of Jeonggwan Homeplus and take a taxi; do not expect walkable access from the rail station

The campground is located deep inside Byeongsangol, Jeonggwan-eup, so traveling by car or taxi is more realistic than walking in from a subway station. In the 2025 transportation guide, buses 106, 107, 182, 188, 37, 73, 1008, and Gijang-gun 8 were suggested as routes to get off in front of Jeonggwan Homeplus and then take a taxi.

The same guide states that the taxi fare from in front of Jeonggwan Homeplus to the campground is about 6,000 to 7,000 KRW, but this may vary depending on traffic conditions and call charges. For the return trip, Donghae Line Jwacheon Station is mentioned, but vehicle travel is still required between the campground and Jwacheon Station. If you have a lot of luggage for a glamping trip, it is safer to check in advance whether round-trip taxi calls are available.

• Reference bus drop-off point: in front of Jeonggwan Homeplus
• Listed buses: 37, 73, 106, 107, 182, 188, 1008, Gijang-gun 8
• After getting off: taxi recommended
• Rail reference: Donghae Line Jwacheon Station, separate vehicle travel needed to the campground

Advantages and disadvantages of a rural valley in Byeongsan-ri and a location 25 minutes from Haeundae

Chowon Forest Campground is located around Byeongsan-ri, Jeonggwan-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan, and Go Camping and the campground guide introduce it as about 25 minutes by car from Haeundae Beach. Rather than being right in front of the beach, it is a place chosen for the forest and valley environment of Byeongsangol, which is the starting point for planning your trip.

Local travel information confirms that the former ‘Byeongsangol Mokjang Camping’ opened in May 2014 at this address, and the current registered name is ‘Chowon Forest Campground.’ Because the name and operating format have changed over time, you should not assume that the tent zone, caravan zone layout, or prices from old reviews apply to the current service. The rooms currently sold, meal-included conditions, and whether experience programs are operating must be checked based on the booking date.

• Haeundae Beach: about 25 minutes by car
• Surrounding environment listed: mountains, lake, golf course
• Past Byeongsangol Mokjang Camping opening information: May 2014
• Current campground registration date: September 4, 2017

Six things to confirm before booking, reflecting summer heat and shared amenities reviews

Published user opinions advise bringing a large circulator fan because summer heat is strong. A review-style post from 2025 also mentioned a shortage of kitchen towels, disposable plastic bags, wet wipes, and children's tableware. These are individual experiences and do not prove the current state of the facility, but they are a reason to prepare the necessary items yourself.

Before booking, it is a good idea to confirm all at once whether the maximum occupancy of 5 applies per room, the scope of meal inclusion for dinner and breakfast, the pool opening date, the cost for a second vehicle, the no-pets rule, and whether late check-in is possible. The official reservation domain is listed as chowonforestglamping.com, but since access status and available dates may change, it is safer to also confirm with the main phone number 051-727-3067.

• Recommended items to bring: towels, toothbrush, toothpaste, kitchen towels, wet wipes, children's tableware
• Recommended summer item: circulator fan or portable fan
• Reservation items to confirm: meals, pool, extra parking, late check-in
• Pets allowed: no
