Halo KYOTO no Umi

The staff were friendly, and the restrooms were much cleaner and more stylish than I expected. I found this campsite while looking for somewhere to fish, and the good reviews convinced me to give it a try. The location worked out well and I had a great time fishing. The draft beer by the glass was a nice bonus. I can't make it back this year, but I'd like to return another time. 🏕️

The group staying there kept making noise from the daytime right through late at night, which was disappointing. It would help to have at least a quiet-hours rule. The place itself is clean, has a lovely view, and is good for fishing. The staff are really friendly too.

We used the free campsite and found the toilets, showers, and cooking area all new and very clean. There was a proper spot for rubbish collection too, which showed the staff had put thought into the place. The setting is fantastic, looking out over Mt. Yura, the Tango Railway, and the sea of ​​Kyoto. We'll definitely be back.

In summer, the river mouth right in front of the campground is handy for swimming and playing in the water. The showers are open around the clock. They're a little small, with two for men and two for women, but clean, and the staff take good care of the place. It's a quiet, cozy, reasonably priced campground overlooking the Yura River Bridge. We paid just ¥4,500 on a Sunday. You can't park next to your site, so moving your things can be a bit of a struggle. Handcarts are available to rent, though the sandy ground means the small-wheeled carts often get stuck.
