Chikso Falls Campground is a natural campsite in Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon-do, located deep in the mountains at 550 m above sea level, with open views, clean air, and dense forest. A stream flowing from Chikso Falls runs right in front of the campsite, and its water is clean enough for Manchurian trout, which live only in Grade 1 water. Visitors can enjoy cool swimming in the stream in summer, and the cooler nights make camping comfortable. Because of the high elevation, nights can be chilly even in midsummer, so bringing an extra outer layer is recommended. It is well suited to campers who want a quiet, relaxed time in nature.
