Campground - nice

This was a very nice campground, with all the ammenities you could want. We visited in Golden Week, 2006, and I don't think the office ever closed then (nice, since we arrived after dark).
There are two amazing rotemburo, one for men and one for women, that never close. For two people and one tent, it cost about 2300円 for one night.
Any of the locals on this road can point you towards this 'camp-jo' (campground). When we stopped by one ryokan, the friendly man there used his phone to call ahead, let them know we were coming, and ensure that there was room.
Note: the water pressure in the bathrooms was relatively low when we were there, which then required some strategic flushing.
