Kasagi Campground is a popular camping spot along the Kizu River in southern Kyoto. Spanning approximately 30,000 square meters, it offers a spacious and relaxing environment. It's conveniently located, making it easily accessible from Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and so on. You can drive your car directly into the campground. The prices are affordable, and reservations are not required. It's an excellent spot for casual camping, getting away from the city.
The campground provides basic amenities such as kitchen sinks, Western-style toilets (please bring your own toilet paper), and a garbage disposal area. To take a shower, you can visit Kasagi Barbecue Company M5 (300 yen per 5 min.) near the campground entrance.
Enjoy Barbecue, camping, fishing and more, while viewing the beautiful river scenery. The clear night sky is perfect for stargazing, too. In the spring, cherry blossoms are also wonderful. You can spend a relaxing time under the cherry trees.
Beyond camping, the surrounding area offers opportunities for rock climbing, hiking and exploring Mount Kasagi. On the mountaintop, there is Kasagidera Temple that is famous especially for its enormous Magaibutsu (Buddhist figures carved into boulders). The temple is impressive, and the momiji (Japanese maple leaves) are beautiful especially in the fall. Right by the temple, there is Matsumototei where you can savor pheasant dishes (reservation required), too. Moreover, you might see a sea of clouds from the mountain in the cold season, if you’re lucky.
