In 2024, I explored Gangwon-Do’s diverse outdoor offerings through dog-friendly adventures at Pure Sheep Ranch, Han Neul Sky Ranch, and Sanneomi Ranch. This guide captures my experiences in both summer and winter, showcasing the best of trekking and camping in this stunning South Korean province.
Pure Sheep Ranch and Han Neul Sky Ranch offered incredible landscapes and memorable trekking opportunities, each revealing the region’s natural beauty across the seasons. My summer camping experience at Sanneomi Ranch added another layer to our adventures, blending comfort with nature.
While I considered Samyang Roundhill Ranch, its no-dog policy prevented me from including a personal account. However, it remains a notable option for those without furry companions.
Join me as I explore these scenic spots and share tips for making the most of your outdoor experiences in Gangwon-Do.

South Korea has a remarkably affordable and well-run public transportation network, making it relatively easy to get around without a car, especially in the major cities.
However, whether you are traveling in South Korea for a short time or living there long-term, having the ability to drive a car can make traveling around the country much easier.
It opens up difficult-to-access parts of the country and allows you to explore much deeper and get off-the-beaten-path.
