From the Kubiki Plain to the Sea of Japan: a large panorama that spreads out before you!

Nanbakogen Campground is located on the hillside of Mt. Nanba at an altitude of 949 meters, in Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture. This campground is close to the city and has easy access. It is a popular campground where you can enjoy the changing seasons, with bright fresh greenery in spring and colored leaves in autumn.

The campground is about 7 km from the mountain path in the Haizuka district at the foot of Mt. Nanba. As the altitude rises, you can enjoy the view of the cityscape of Joetsu through the gaps between the trees on the mountain path.

When you arrive at the campground, the first thing you see is the Nanba Lodge in the administration building. The lodge has a reception and sells drinks, ice cream, and ice cubes. There are also hot showers (100 yen shower for 5 minutes), and rental tents, futons, blankets, charcoal, firewood, and cooking utensils.
