A public campsite in Hwaseong, used by about 50,000 people annually, will close next month. A training ground for the professional football club Hwaseong FC is planned for the site. The campsite was designated an excellent campsite by the government last year, but closure was announced nine months later. Dozens of online petitions against the closure were not properly considered: the city accepted opinions only by mail and in-person visits, and the 1.8 billion won budget for the training ground was approved before the feedback period ended. The city cited the campsite's operating deficit and the opening of an alternative campsite as reasons for closure.

The Suwon Camping Car Show 2026 will take place from October 9 to 11 at the Suwon Convention Center (SCC) in Gwanggyo, South Korea. More than 30 manufacturers and custom companies will participate, showcasing motorhomes, caravans, truck campers, and electric camper vans based on Kia PV5 and Hyundai ST1 EV platforms. Visitors can receive consultations on contracts, options, and after-sales service. Admission is 5,000 won on-site or 3,000 won with a 40% discount via online reservation.

On September 14, a video was published on the YouTube channel "Poongja TV" showing the delivery of a custom camper van based on the Kia PV5. TV personality Poongja, who recently lost 33 kg, waited about six months for the vehicle: nearly five months in the queue due to high demand and just over two weeks for the interior conversion. Such campers are priced between 40 and 50 million won. The interior features a flat floor, storage drawers, a table, a mosquito net, a microwave, a fridge-freezer, and a touch-sensitive sink; the electric vehicle allows all appliances to run, provides heating in winter and cooling in summer. An automatic awning with remote control is installed outside.
