MINIKHAN Official Guide ③ How to Start Car Camping in Korea
본문
It’s simpler than it sounds
When people hear “car camping,”
it can feel complicated.
Where do we sleep?
Is this place okay?
Do we need a lot of gear?
In reality,
it’s much simpler than it looks.
You just need the right order.

1️⃣ First thing first: choose where to sleep tonight
For car camping,
there’s one thing that matters most.
Where you sleep tonight.
That’s why MINIKHAN organizes this first.

2️⃣ Camping vs car camping — keep it simple
No need to overthink it.
Camping: staying inside a reserved campground
Car camping: sleeping inside the vehicle
MINIKHAN trips work best
when you think in terms of car camping.
Why?
Faster setup
More freedom to move
Fewer schedule problems
3️⃣ “Do we need to prepare camping gear?”
This question comes up a lot.
Short answer:
No.
MINIKHAN provides
a full camping gear set for free.
Table and chairs
Ambient lights and Bluetooth speaker
Gas stove
Pots, pans, and griddle
Cooking tools like tongs and scissors
Magnetic window curtains
So in real life, it looks like this.

Open the table →
Relax.
4️⃣ So how do you plan the route?
This is where the second map comes in.
MINIKHAN has organized
the Korea Tourism Organization’s Best 100 must-visit places
into a Google Map.

This is how most people use it.
Pick one place for today
Check nearby campgrounds
Sleep nearby if it feels right
Plans can change on the road.
That’s part of car camping.
5️⃣ How people actually move
If it’s your first time,
keep this in mind.
1–2 hours of driving per day
At least one night per area
Stay longer if you like the place
The goal isn’t to see more.
It’s to have an easy day.
6️⃣ A few basics to remember
These aren’t strict rules.
They’re just common sense.
Stay only in allowed places
Choose areas where people are nearby
Avoid isolated spots at night
Korea is generally safe,
but public campgrounds are easiest for beginners.
In short
Choose sleeping spots from the map
The gear is already included
Your route doesn’t have to be fixed
Car camping isn’t a special skill.
It’s simply
a way to make travel easier.
Next: let’s talk about itineraries
At this point,
these questions come up.
How far can we go in one week?
Is two weeks realistic?
What about a full month?
Those answers are
in the next guide.
