Fall Camping in Korea: Top Spots & Essential Checklist for Autumn 2025

As temperatures drop and leaves change hue, autumn becomes one of the most magical times to camp in Korea.
Below are some recommended campgrounds and a complete checklist to make your fall trip comfortable, safe and memorable.

Recommended Spot ① – Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province

Just north of Seoul, Gapyeong offers wooded campsites surrounded by autumn leaves. With easy access and nature all around, it’s perfect for a quick weekend. 
Book early, especially during peak leaf‑colour periods.

Recommended Spot ② – Ulsan or Rural Mountainside Campsites

For a quieter, more immersive fall camping experience, consider locations farther from the city such as Ulsan’s mountainside sites.
Expect deeper colour, darker skies and a true departure from daily life.
