Seongnam City has pushed back against allegations that the Yuldong Park auto camping site is an illegal facility exceeding legal area limits by three times. The city stated that the camping site was established as a park facility under the Park Green Act, and whether the Tourism Promotion Act's 10,000 sqm area limit for campsites in conservation green zones applies to campsites within urban parks requires comprehensive legal review. The city has requested an official interpretation from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. It also denied that the ongoing zoning change is an attempt at retroactive legalization, noting it is a preliminary administrative procedure. The camping site, covering 26,734 sqm with 96 sites, opened on June 16, 2025.

Seongnam's self-legalization of motorhome campsite sparks controversy

Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province is facing criticism for pursuing a zoning change for the Yuldong motorhome campsite while it is under investigation for alleged legal violations. The city argues the change is meant to resolve legal uncertainties, not to retroactively legalize the facility. Provincial special judicial police contend the campsite should be registered under the Tourism Promotion Act, not the Parks and Green Spaces Act, and that its area exceeds the limit for such zones.
