Want to do something about the sticky season! What's the bath situation like at the camp?
The peak of summer is approaching, and the season to enjoy camping in nature has arrived.
That said, summer camping can be worrisome due to the heat, so what should you do when you want to wash away sweat or soak in a bath?
I want to take a proper bath even when I go camping! What should I do in that case?
Many recent campsites are equipped with bathing facilities. There are also facilities that have shower rooms. Therefore, it is important to gather information in advance about the campsite you plan to visit.
Most campsites provide information about their facilities on their official websites, and if it is not listed, it is advisable to contact them to confirm. Since availability may vary depending on the season, timing, or plan, be sure to carefully check the place you will visit.
In some places, there are many facilities with well-equipped amenities such as proud natural hot springs, open-air baths, private baths, and even jacuzzis and pet-only baths. Since you can enjoy bathing surrounded by nature, choosing a campsite based on its bathing facilities might also be a good option.
Also, even if the campsite itself does not have facilities, there are cases where another hot spring facility is nearby due to the campsite’s location close to mountains or rivers. At such hot spring facilities, amenities may be available for rent, making it convenient to use without adding to your luggage.
What facilities allow you to enjoy a large public bath at the campsite?
One of the facilities where you can enjoy a large public bath at the campsite is Mobility Resort Motegi, located in Motegi Town, Haga District, Tochigi Prefecture. Here, you can enjoy nature-themed attractions and motorsports events, including domestic and international races, making it fun for the whole family.
Mobility Resort Motegi includes the Mobility Resort Motegi Hotel, which offers a panoramic view of the racing circuit. Within this hotel, there is a bathing facility called Nozomi Bath, where guests can relax while enjoying views of the racing course and surrounding nature during the day, and gaze at the star-filled sky at night.
At Nozomi Bath, not only hotel guests but also those using the adjoining campsite or glamping facilities, as well as day visitors, can enjoy bathing. For day visitors, the hours are from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (reception until 6:30 p.m.), and guests staying at the Forest and Starry Sky Camping Village who are using glamping or other services can use the bath from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and from 6:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. the following morning.
Guests staying at the Mobility Resort Motegi Hotel or the Forest and Starry Sky Camping Village can use the facilities for free from check-in to check-out. In case you forget your bath items, towels and other essentials are available for rent at a fee, and other amenities are well provided, so you can feel at ease.
In the hot summer season, since you sweat and accumulate fatigue from physical activity, it is good to relieve your body’s tiredness with hot water.
Regarding the concern about bathing while camping, if you prepare measures in advance, you can spend your time comfortably even in the summer.
Also, for those who love baths, if you choose a campground with well-equipped facilities in advance, you can enjoy a fulfilling time.
