Introduction: Urban Camping in Seoul
“What if your daily life could change with just a tent, 30 minutes from downtown Seoul?”
Hangang Nanji Camping Site, right in the heart of Seoul, is a beloved destination for families seeking special memories without leaving the city.
When daily life feels overwhelming, this spot lets you recharge in nature close to home.

On-Site Experience: A Family Day at Nanji Camping Site
Last May, I visited Nanji Camping Site with my two elementary-aged children. We started with a bike ride along the riverside trail, and the kids enjoyed the playground.
In the evening, we grilled meat at the barbecue area and spent quality family time together.
Watching the sunset by the river was a special moment rarely found in the city. At night, the city lights and gentle waves of the Hangang created a fantastic night view. Inside the tent, we shared stories, and the kids were already looking forward to inviting their friends next time.
