The Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education (South Korea) announced the operation of four auto camping sites created on the grounds of closed schools. The sites are located in Pohang (15 spots), Gimcheon (15 spots), Yeongdeok (25 spots), and Yeongju (12 spots). At the former Busok Elementary School branch in Yeongju, the "Sobaek Mountain" camping site opened.

Each camping site is equipped with parking spaces, showers, toilets, and a dishwashing area. The cost per spot is 20,000 won (about $15 USD) with electricity and water included. The campsites are family-oriented and accessible to students, parents, school staff, and provincial residents.

Authorities emphasize family programs, including a 1-night, 2-day "Healing Camp" involving educational communities, aiming to turn the facilities into regional development hubs. The initiative is intended to make efficient use of vacant school buildings and grounds.
