Looking for tents, camping kitchens, and so much more? Here are some great places to try in Pyeongtaek.
Camping in Korea
Korea loves camping. More specifically, Korea loves boujee camping. Folks will pull up with tents bigger than my first apartment and set up a whole home just for a day at the beach. They don’t even camp all night. As someone who grew up off-grid in hunt camps and rural cabins in Alaska, I never imagined camping could be quite like this and I am totally here for it.
Shopping for Camping Gear
You can get cheap camping gear at Emart, Homeplus, and Lotte Mart. To be honest, this is where my cheap-ass picks up most of our camping supplies. We got a summer sleeping back for 3,000 won on summer clearance. We found fishing chairs for 4,000 won each. We are completely redneck fabulous every time we go to the beach.
However, if you want to be fancy. I recommend visiting one of these fine camping supply stores. You will find things you never even imagined. Sometimes it looks like Instagram started designing camping supplies. If I wasn’t so cheap, I would buy it all.
