Car camping (chabak) is surging in popularity in South Korea, especially in early summer. Recommended locations include the East Sea coast (Pohang, Gangneung, Yangyang) for ocean views, highland areas (Taebaek) for stargazing, and the west coast (Taean) for sunsets. Due to increased visitor numbers, some areas have tightened restrictions on cooking and tent setup; visitors must follow etiquette.
