In Yeosu for summer vacation: camping instead of hotel

The Cheongnyangsan Suwon Campground in Bonghwa County, opened last October as a cooperation project between Suwon and Bonghwa, recorded 6,067 cumulative visitors by May 31, 2026. This is a 67% increase compared to the same period under previous management. Occupancy rose from 30.9% to 71.3%. Suwon residents accounted for about 67% of visitors (4,038 people). The site offers 12 motorhome pitches, 6 caravans, 5 tent sites, and 7 glamping units.

The Cheongnyangsan camping site, developed through collaboration between Suwon and Bonghwa County, saw a 67% increase in visitors compared to when it was operated solely by the county. Occupancy rate rose from 30.9% to 71.3%, with 67% of guests being Suwon residents. The success is attributed to Bonghwa transferring the land and operating rights to Suwon for 10 years, which invested in facility upgrades. For the summer season, expansion includes 12 auto-camping spots and 18 accommodation units (caravans, glamping), along with new programs (craft workshops, stargazing) and integration with local tourist attractions.
