Winter Caravan Adventure in South Korea
Winter Wonderland: A Caravan Adventure through South Korea's Gangwon Province
Winter in South Korea
Our aravan trip took us from the bustling city of Seoul to the northeastern corner of South Korea, where Gangwon Province awaited with its enchanting winter landscapes. Known for its abundant snowfall and numerous mountains, Gangwon is a haven for winter sports enthusiasts, making it the perfect destination for our caravan adventure.
Chasing Snowflakes: Gangwon's Skiing Paradise
Gangwon, often referred to as the Zermatt of Korea, boasts an array of ski resorts. Oakvalley Ski Resort, our chosen destination, welcomed us with open arms. The ski resorts typically operate from November to March, offering an extended winter wonderland for all to enjoy. The crisp winter air and pristine snow-covered mountains set the stage for a memorable caravan journey.
Caravan Rental with Camping Share
Our vehicle of choice was a cozy caravan from “Camping Share,”. Priced at $250 per day, the caravan came equipped with all the camping essentials. The company offers a variety of caravans, allowing you to choose the perfect one for your adventure. You can explore their options on their website
ensuring you find the ideal caravan for your needs.
The Quest for a Camping Spot
Our spontaneous approach to camping added an extra layer of excitement to our trip. However, we quickly learned the importance of reserving camping spots in advance. Many campsites in the Gangwon area were fully booked, forcing us to hunt for a suitable spot. A valuable lesson learned – always reserve your camping space before embarking on your caravan adventure.
Finding Our Winter Haven
After exploring various campsites, luck was on our side, and we discovered the perfect spot to park our caravan. Not only did it offer a stunning view of the snow-covered landscape, but it also provided access to essential amenities, including a restroom. While our caravan had a small toilet, we opted for the comfort of a room, ensuring everyone had a good night’s sleep.
Embracing the Winter Magic
Our winter caravan trip through Gangwon Province was a testament to the beauty and thrill of exploring South Korea’s winter wonderland. From the exhilarating ski resorts to the warmth of our caravan, every moment was filled with adventure and discovery. If you’re planning your own winter caravan journey, remember to book your camping spots in advance and embrace the magic of South Korea’s winter landscape. Adventure awaits!
