Auto camping site in Yuldong Park, Seongnam, faces administrative dispute

The auto camping site in Yuldong Park in Seongnam, opened last year, is at the centre of a dispute over administrative procedures. Its 96 pitches sit in a park created after land was bought for 264.3 billion won under measures against the expiry of urban parks. The dispute concerns whether the site must register as a campsite under the Tourism Promotion Act and meet area standards in a conservation green zone. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism says no exemption applies to park facilities. The campsite occupies about 2.5% of the 887,516 sq m park.
