Changwon Gusan Coast struggles with long-term motorhome parking

Endersview, a resort in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, offers family trips focused on relaxation without long-distance travel. The complex includes forest caravans, a heated water park called Timoni Beach, barbecue areas, and outdoor lounges. Guests stay in caravans equipped with kitchen, bathroom, and air conditioning, with all activities on-site. Prices and booking are available on the official website.

In Wonju, Gangwon Province, the holiday season has seen a rise in 'alpakki' — long-term occupation of public parking lots and campsites by tents and campers. At the Chilbong Recreation Area parking lot, two campers have been parked since June, while the closed Seomgang Dukkeobi Auto Camping site is also illegally occupied. Local authorities lack legal grounds for forced removal or penalties, except on beaches where recent amendments allow removal without administrative procedures. Concerns grow that displaced 'alpakki' may shift to riverside areas.

Yongin Natural Recreation Forest, located in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, charges an adult admission fee of 2,000 won. The park features forest trails, streams, a lawn, and accommodation including cabins and caravans (4 caravans). Zip-line and eco-adventure facilities are currently suspended since January 2024 due to no new operator.

Authorities in Yuzhnoukrainsk have banned long-term parking of motorhomes and caravans in city areas. The decision follows complaints from residents that campers occupy parking spots for weeks, hindering other drivers. Violators face fines.

Heavy rain that hit Andong and northern Gyeongbuk province late on April 18 and early April 19 led to the evacuation of 74 people from 57 households. Six houses and 11 temporary homes for victims of last year's large wildfires were flooded. In Gwang-eum-ri, two people were rescued from a camper that was swept into a swollen river. No casualties have been reported.

On July 18 at 11:44 p.m., a camper was trapped by rising water at a recreation area in Gwang-eum-ri, Namhu-myeon, Andong, North Gyeongsang Province. The driver and one other person were rescued by firefighters.
