Rise of camping and 'chabak' in South Korea amid high fuel prices

In South Korea, more people are choosing camping and 'chabak' (sleeping in a car) over overseas travel due to high airfare and fuel costs. This has led to increased campsite bookings and a rise in safety incidents and complaints. Beginners are advised to start with basic gear (tent, tarp, sleeping bag, lantern, stove, first aid kit) and use public campsites, which are cheaper and have facilities. Illegal parking and camping on private land, in protected areas, or on beaches can result in fines. When camping in mountains, avoid areas under cliffs and dry branches; on the coast, check tides and strong winds.

Changwon Fire Department inspects fire safety at Dalcheon Park campsite

The Changwon Fire Department, along with other agencies, conducted a fire safety inspection at the Dalcheon Park auto campsite, a registered camping area in Changwon. The inspection focused on the use of electrical and gas appliances inside enclosed tents, which can cause short circuits, gas explosions, and fires. Glamping sites and caravans must be equipped with fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, residual-current devices, and emergency flashlights. In winter, tent ventilation openings must be kept open to prevent gas poisoning.
