Geumgang Natural Recreation Forest
Geumgang Natural Recreation Forest, known in Korean as “금강자연휴양림,” is a beautiful camping site nestled between the Geumgang River and a lush, green forest. This picturesque landscape is located in Geumnam-myeon, within the special autonomous city of Sejong.
The camping site is easily accessible by taking the Dangjin-Yeongdeok Expressway and exiting at the Gongju IC.
