Idyllic Satoyama stay at "OK Auto Campsite" Relaxing and relaxing time surrounded by rich nature

The Shimagahara district IgaCity has a peaceful landscape. "OK Auto Campsite" is located in this area, which is on the border between Kyoto and Nara prefectures. Approximately 80 minutes by car from Osaka city, it is also easily accessible from the Kansai area!

First, go to the administration building and check in. At the entrance, there is a cute handmade wooden sign that makes you feel warm.

Tent site divided into approximately 100 square meters (capacity: 5 people). It's arranged around a plaza, so it's very open.

*Currently, to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, you can only use up to 2 tent sites or 2 bungalows. Day camp capacity is limited to 8 people (no more than 8 people can use the camp).

``The grounds are flat, so it's easy for beginners and families to use.Most of our customers are repeat customers, and many people like this place,'' says staff member Nagai.

This "OK Auto Campsite" is actually run by Mr. Nagai's family of four. No wonder the facility has a very homely atmosphere!

There are 8 bungalows with a capacity of 5 people. There is no level difference with the ground, so you can enjoy a barbecue on the covered terrace. Since it is adjacent to the tent site, many groups also use it for auto camping.

The bungalow room is 6 tatami mats in size. Equipped with lighting, power supply, table and chair set, air conditioner, and camping mat.

There is also a kitchen nearby, so meal preparation and cleanup are easy. Each facility is well-maintained.

The ``shower room'' (200 yen for 4 minutes) is spacious enough for parents and children to use together. It's well-equipped with all the necessary facilities, so it's safe even if you come with your family.

“OK Auto Campsite” also holds a variety of events. "Craft Experience" is scheduled to be held on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month, the middle day of three-day holidays, and every Saturday during summer vacation.

You can enjoy making a ``Bird Call'' flute that makes a sound similar to a bird's voice, and ``Stone Paint'', where you freely draw on stones of various sizes and shapes. It's nice to have memories of the campsite left in a tangible form! *Experience fee: 200 yen per person

The feeding experience is also very popular with children!

*Currently, "Craft experience" and "Horseback riding experience" are canceled to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.

Another appeal is that there is a ``plaza'' where you can play with things like balls and Frisbees. There is also an area with a net that can be used for soft volleyball, etc., and play equipment can be rented (free of charge).

Pick up acorns, look for four-leaf clovers... The spacious grounds are a great playground for children!

We also have mountain bike rentals for kids. Cycling while feeling the refreshing breeze feels great! *Rental fee: 500 yen for 1 hour, 1,500 yen for half a day (use inside the venue only)

You can enjoy fishing in the Kizugawa River that flows near the campsite. Bird watching is also recommended, as there are a wide variety of birds that prey on river fish. *Swimming in the river is prohibited to prevent water accidents.

In addition, ``OK Auto Campsite'' is also a spot where you can enjoy the scenery of each season. In spring, the place is filled with people enjoying "Ohanami Camp"!

The summer scenery with dazzling fresh greenery is also wonderful. The beautiful greenery of the plants invites you to take a deep breath, and your daily fatigue will melt away.

In autumn, the grounds are colored with autumn leaves. It's fun to watch the trees turn red and yellow while lighting a bonfire.

“Camping comes in a variety of styles. You can enjoy day camping or solo camping, or you can start your family camping by staying in a bungalow, and once you get used to it, you can try staying in a tent. We also rent camping equipment. "There's no need to prepare everything yourself from the beginning. We always try to provide services that make it easy for anyone to enjoy camping," says Nagai. "OK Auto Campsite" is a place where you can spend a relaxing holiday in a peaceful village forest. Its popularity is likely to increase even more in the future!
