Good day all, I have created a blog CAMPING IN TAIWAN . I like to use this thread to discuss Taiwan camping sites. I am trying to get as many campsites identified and pin point them with Google Map. I have visited and reviewed a few sites but I can’t review them all. I hope those who had visited t…

Hi Peeps, super late to make plans but I was looking to rent a car and take my friend (she speaks mandarin which makes my life easier) camping, maybe somewhere under the stars on Friday/Saturday.

Lmao that may have come across differently. I wanna see the stars away from the city lights. Thinking of also somewhere in Nanao as a potential. Promise the “secluded” wasn’t a creepy suggestion :joy:

Every time I go camping, I’m amazed by the setups of Taiwanese. Huge tents and sunshades, more lights than a 70’s discotheque, food to survive an apocalypse, electric appliances… Then, they move all of that to a different camping after one or two nights. I’d had a hard time trying to justify to my…

Have you seen the air conditioned living room tent with projector and movie screen? I like their faces when I roll up on my motorcycle with my minimalist setup :sunglasses:
