A September 2026 comparison reviewed three campsites in Dalian for family camping. Huamuli campsite (92 yuan per person) offers play facilities for children aged 3–10, the Cangluwan study camp on a 300,000 sq m rice field hosts up to 2,000 people daily and targets ages 5–15, and Yintai RV campsite (recommended by Dalian Culture and Tourism Bureau) rents for about 200–300 yuan per vehicle per night and suits first-time motorhome users. For families in Shenyang, combining the zoo (tickets from 97 yuan) with camping near Qipan Mountain is suggested.
