This is such a late post since we stayed in the log cabin last
September 2019. However, I hope that some of the information here would still
be helpful to those who are planning to book and stay overnight at
Biseulsan Natural Recreation Forest.
Only vehicles registered during the reservation process will
be allowed to enter the Natural Recreation Forest area. When we arrived, a guy
was waiting by the barrier to check the vehicles wanting to enter. After
telling him my name and showing my alien registration card, he let us through.
We dropped by the management office first to get the keys to
our accommodation. We were also given a trash bag. The guy in the office said to
me (in Korean) that we can bring the car close to the location of our reserved
log cabin to drop off our stuff and then we should park the car in the
designated parking area after. We did as he suggested as that was easier
compared to hauling our stuff up the hill (which I think was a bit steep) if we
had parked the car first.
I decided not to take pictures of the log cabin as I found a
Naver blog post that have pictures of the exact same place we stayed at (which is the Sonamu log cabin). I
did take pictures (shown below) of the other amenities available in the cabin. Dishwashing
liquid and a mesh were also provided. The cabin had free Wi-Fi as well.
However, there were also some things which I noticed were
not available, such as toiletries (soap and shampoo), microwave, and mugs or
cups. Make sure to bring these items if you are planning to stay overnight. We
were lucky that the store close to where we were staying was open so I was able
to get a mini soap to use in the kitchen and bathroom.
There is a rice cooker available but I decided to use
microwavable rice instead to make it easier. I ended up putting it in boiling
water to heat it up for dinner.
After check-out the next day, we decided to take the
electric car at Biseulsan that takes people up to the top of the mountain where
a temple is located. Even if private vehicles are allowed inside the Recreation
Forest, they cannot go up to the top. Only the electric cars are permitted to
do so.
We are planning to book a caravan the next time we visit.
