Kia PV5: official camper conversion kit installs in minutes

The Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education (South Korea) announced the first semester of the 2026 family camping program 'On(溫) Family, Heart ON(溫)'. The program targets families with children from 4th grade of elementary school to 2nd grade of middle school. It will be held at four auto-camping sites built on former school grounds, including a new site in Yeongju. A total of 15 sessions are planned per year: 6 in the first semester (June 6 – July 5) and 9 in the second (September 5 – October 25). Priority is given to families who have not participated in camps over the past 5 years and those in need of educational support.

The auto camping site at Daeyul Resort in Gimje, North Jeolla Province, has become a regional camping hotspot in its first year. Weekend reservations exceed 90% during early summer peak season. The site offers deck and gravel pitches as well as caravans. Its location near National Road No. 1 attracts visitors from nearby cities like Jeonju and Iksan. A children's adventure park nearby has boosted family tourism. The city has added restrooms and continues to improve facilities.

In an episode of EBS show 'Seo Jang-hoon's Millionaire Neighbor', the hosts visit a private campsite owned by Ra Je-geon, whose company controls 90% of the global premium tent pole market. Ra Je-geon, dubbed the 'King of Tents', has designed over 3,000 tent models in 38 years. The program features Seo and Jang testing an ultra-light camping chair that supports up to 200 kg and exploring a tent equipped with a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and cinema room.

The fire service of South Gyeongsang Province issued a warning about carbon monoxide poisoning due to the rise in camping and car sleeping. CO is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, and its affinity for hemoglobin is 200 times stronger than oxygen.

Daeyul Auto Camping in Gimje, North Jeolla Province, South Korea, has seen a surge in weekend visitors. Booking rates exceed 90%, attracting families with children.

Baramjae Auto Camping in Sejong, located about 15 minutes from downtown, offers 14 motorhome sites. Fees range from 30,000 to 50,000 KRW depending on weekday, weekend, or peak season.
