In the city of Yeongju (North Gyeongsang Province), early summer 2026 has brought a surge in tourists to local camping sites. Popular spots include the Yeougul glamping site, created from a former school, the auto-camping site at Yeongjuho Lake with caravans and cabins, and the Starlight Camping at the foot of Sobaeksan Mountain.
The campsites offer accommodation with amenities, access to hiking trails, and water activities. The growing interest is linked to a shift toward 'staycation travel', where tourists combine overnight stays in nature with visits to local attractions such as Sobaeksan Mountain and Yonghyeol Waterfall.
