South Korea has issued guidelines on safety and etiquette for car camping (chabak) and auto camping. Since September 20, 2024, camping, cooking, and open fires are banned on public parking lots operated by state and local authorities, with fines up to 500,000 won. Special emphasis is placed on carbon monoxide poisoning risks from heaters in enclosed spaces.
