Pyeongchang's 'Art in Island' campsite has garnered significant attention following its feature on EBS's program 'Seojanghoon's Millionaire Neighbor.' The program highlighted Chairman Park Jung-hee's unique forest management philosophy, cultivated over four generations across a vast 820,000 pyeong forest, and the camp's nature-friendly environment. This destination is celebrated not merely as a campsite but as a place for genuine healing amidst nature.
Art in Island is situated in Bongpyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, on a distinctive 'island' terrain where the Muicheon and Heungjeongcheon streams converge. It offers a variety of facilities and activities, including pine nut forest walking trails, natural valley swimming pools, a deer farm, mountain ATV courses, and archery experiences. A particularly moving aspect highlighted in the broadcast was Chairman Park Jung-hee's mutually beneficial management approach, where foresters pay only one-tenth of their harvest, and no fees are charged if there is no harvest. The site also provides pension-style accommodations for those without camping gear, alongside essential amenities like electricity, hot water, and Wi-Fi.
Bloggers describe Art in Island as a perfect spot for quiet relaxation, enjoying the sounds of the forest. It offers different charms throughout the four seasons, with refreshing valley swimming in summer and stunning autumn foliage. Due to its popularity, securing a reservation can be challenging, so it is recommended to book at least a month in advance via Naver's reservation system or the official website. The campsite is known for its strict adherence to waste disposal rules and quiet hours to preserve the natural environment.
