Kazusa Auto Camp Jo – “Cool Campsite in the Land of Famous Springs”

Kazusa Auto Camp Jo (かずさオートキャンプ場) (Chiba, Kimitsu) – “Cool Campsite in the Land of Famous Springs”

Located in the Kururi area of Kimitsu City, about a 12-minute walk from JR Kururi Station. Tucked away amidst dense forest and clear streams, the Kururi region is renowned for its pristine spring water, reputed to be “cleaner than tap water.” The campsite utilizes this natural advantage, providing well water for campers’ use, adding a special touch to cooking and tea. All sites are drive-in grass or dirt plots accessible by car, with some offering power outlets. Campfires are permitted (fire pit required). The night sky offers excellent stargazing, and fireflies can be seen in summer. Compared to popular coastal campsites, this inland location attracts fewer visitors and remains quiet, even during summer holidays. The forest setting provides natural cooling, making it a great summer retreat, while autumn foliage also draws some experienced campers. With reasonable fees and basic infrastructure (showers, restrooms), it’s a simple, tranquil, and value-for-money camping treasure.
