Takino Suzuran Hillside Park is the only national park in Hokkaido, boasting a large area of approximately 395.7 hectares, even though it is located in Sapporo city. Blessed with abundant nature, the park has various areas such as the central zone with Children's Valley full of play equipment and the country garden with its flower fields, the mountain stream zone with Ashiribetsu Falls, and the Takino Forest zone where you can experience the natural forest. This time, we will introduce "Auto Resort Takino" located in the central zone. It seems to be popular with families as it allows you to easily enjoy camping. Auto Resort Takino was established in 1994. It has been awarded the highest five-star rating by the Japan Auto Camping Association as a comfortable and safe auto camping site. It is located about 20km from the center of Sapporo, so it is just the right distance for families with small children and those who want to take a break on the weekend. The facility is divided into several campsites (areas) to suit the style of the users. There is a camper site for everything from regular cars to camper trailers, a standard car site for cars and tents, a free tent site where you can pitch your tent wherever you like, a doggie pet site where you can bring your pets, and more. There are also several log cabins, which you might want to consider as an alternative to campers or tents. They have terraces and lofts, and offer a lot of comfortable space. There are several types of log cabins, so why not choose one based on the number of people using them and your preferences? Other facilities available at Auto Resort Takino include shower rooms and coin laundry facilities. People who want to enjoy camping in a clean environment can use the facility with peace of mind. The walking trails, grassy area, and observation deck are recommended for those who want to enjoy nature to the fullest. There is also a playground with athletic equipment for children who want to play and get active. What's more, even if you forget to bring something you need for camping, there's no need to worry. The shop in the center house where reception is handled sells not only camping equipment, but also most things, from food to daily necessities. Some items can also be rented, so if you do some research in advance and make good use of the rental services, you may be able to carry less luggage. Please check the following website for opening hours and fees. There are many different ways to camp. It is a blessing for Sapporo residents that there is an auto resort campsite in Sapporo that meets all of these needs. Of course, it is the same for campers from outside the city.
