Iwakura Dam Camping Ground

Nice place but the ground is filled with rocks, so securing your tent takes some dedication.

Since there is a tendency for manners to decline, I dare to give it two stars. Simple but hobby-level campers need and have enough facilities and services, access from Route 153 without any narrow roads, and a great location on a quiet lakeside. The administrator is not resident. Since it is a free site, I think it is only a matter of time before problems occur between users. First of all, there are no special partitions for parking lots, so it is left to each conscience. There is a danger that the exit will be blocked if you park it in the back as you wish. If you stop in front of you, saying that you will be in trouble if it is blocked, there will be no place for the following to stop. Cars can enter the site for an additional fee, but the passages on the site also depend on the atmosphere. And, of course, the place where cars can pass is also suitable for setting up a tent. If you set up a tent or tarp, go out by car and come back, it may be difficult to enter or park due to the tension ropes and peg downs elsewhere. Since it is a free site, I think it is better not to have a clear manifestation of intention, and if you are allowed to be absent just by taking a place, I think that it will be out of control. Garbage disposal is taken home except for the toilet and the cinders of charcoal and firewood. Some people leave leftover food in the sink and clog it, while others use a small sink for a long time. Sewage is not maintained. Drainage enters the dam in front of you. The use of detergent is also considered. It's awkward to say anything about human equipment, but the camp boom is over-equipped and narrows the site. Each of our friends stays alone in a one-pole tent for 4 to 5 people, each cooks a bonfire, each puts a stove on the table, and the price is one tent and one person. I hope everyone can continue to use the wonderful campsite comfortably.

We stayed overnight at a fishing camp. It was late summer, so instead of taking a bath, I went to the river to refresh myself! It seems that you can fish at the Iwakura Dam that is with you, but you can't see anything other than carp. The price is reasonable and I think it will bother you again.

We stayed overnight on 2020.10.11. Since it is crowded on weekends, I went in during the withdrawal time on Sunday afternoon. Weekdays are recommended. There were about 10 groups on that day, so we were able to set up spaciously. If you go to the far right from the entrance, you will find a lakeside plaza on your left with a view of the dam lake. This is recommended for those who value location! It is slightly diagonal, but there are some flat points. The scenery from there changes variously depending on the time of day, so you won't get tired of it. In the evening, the surface of the lake becomes flat and the scenery reflects beautifully like a mirror. At night, the clouds disappeared and a wonderful starry sky spread. At midnight, an unexpected moon appeared and it was the best night. Unfortunately the clouds were not good in the morning and the sunrise was not good, but if it is sunny, it will surely be a wonderful view. The bio-toilet was kept clean and the smell was almost unnoticeable and comfortable. The fee is 200 yen per person for elementary school students and above One tent, one tarp, one car, 1000 yen each. No reservation required, no time limit on all free sites! The manager will come to collect at 11:00 and 15:00. It is a free and valuable campsite with no detailed regulations. On the other hand, it seems that the number of campers with bad manners is increasing. Garbage, ash residue, and leftover food were noticeable in the sink of the washing place. It is very disappointing. The campsite may be closed, so I would like you to have good manners.

I went in September. It was still hot in the city, You can spend comfortably without sweating. You can't see all the stars, right? The night sky is beautiful with a particle size like that. Security of campers ◎ Total splendid
