During Japan's three-day weekend (October 10–12), a family camping blogger in Hokkaido published a roundup of eight campsites offering free or low-cost pitches for motorhomes and tents, along with a list of ten cold-weather gear items. The roundup includes campsites with direct access to hot springs, such as Shikotsu-Morapp and Namporo Midorino Park, and fully free sites like Rumoi Golden Beach and Okope Saru Beach Park. As of the morning of October 11, paid reservation-based campsites are mostly full, while free first-come-first-served parks have available spaces. The gear list features gas stoves, sleeping bags rated to -5°C, and 8 cm thick sleeping pads.
