OVERNIGHT STAYS & CAMPERVANS

For Mona Yongpyong, compare a booked room or rental around Pyeongchang with a designated campsite that accepts your vehicle and winter dates. Choose your base around the daily mountain journey and the power, water and indoor facilities you need.

Compare lodging options ↗

Book a designated overnight place for your vehicle and dates. Day parking does not provide permission to camp.

🐕 PET POLICY

Historical pet-policy guidance.

Dogs are not permitted on the ski slopes or in most resort facilities. Pet ownership culture differs in Korea, and few accommodations are pet-friendly. Consider leaving pets at home or with boarding services in Seoul.

Confirm rooms, fees and access rules with the property or resort before you travel. A pet-friendly area does not mean pets can use ski slopes or lifts.
