MINIKHAN Official Guide ③ How to Start Car Camping in Korea | 미니칸

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.

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.
