Embraced by the Murmurs of the Katsuura River: A Free Riverside Campsite for Thoughtful Outdoor Stays
Nestled along the gentle flow of the Katsuura River, Maekawa Campground offers a relaxing outdoor escape where no reservation is required and usage is free, making it an ideal spot for spontaneous adventurers. The site is equipped with barbecue facilities, cooking areas, separate restrooms for men and women, and cold-water showers (available from April to October). With seven parking spaces nearby (cars are not allowed inside the campsite), visitors register with the on-site caretaker and are expected to maintain cleanliness and respect the 10 PM lights-out rule. Its proximity to Tachikawa Gorge and Meotobuchi enhances its appeal, letting guests soak in the mountain air and the soothing whispers of the river while reconnecting with nature.
