Pocheon Dove Gorge Campsite
Imagine camping next to a waterfall and on a meadow-like campsite! Pocheon Dove Gorge Campsite is the perfect place for such an experience.
Constructed based on the Hantan River floodplain, the Pocheon Dove Gorge Campsite sits near the Dove Gorge waterfall. This waterfall is a sight to behold, known as the sixth scenic beauty of the Hantan River, and designated as Natural Monument No. 537. The mystical landscape was formed by the lava flow from an exploded volcano, creating columnar joints and deep valleys. This location has been famous as a shooting spot for dramas and movies. The name “Dove Gorge” was given as hundreds of wild pigeons inhabit the area during winter.
