Did “Namsan festival until November 14” make you think of a picnic this weekend? As of November 11, Campnic and the Autumn Foliage Walk have ended; Palgak Club is the event still scheduled for the 14th.
Key points
- Campnic and Autumn Foliage Walk end November 7; Palgak Club is November 14.
- Palgak Club takes place near the summit, not at Yejang Park.
- A refundable deposit does not mean seats are still available; check your return journey too.
Campnic on the 14th?
Seoul’s festival listing gives the overall period as October 23–November 14. But the organizer’s schedule, checked again on November 11, lists Campnic on October 23, 24, 30 and 31 and November 6 and 7. The Autumn Foliage Walk ran on October 23 and 24 and November 6 and 7.
Both ended on the 7th. Going to Baekbeom Square for Campnic on the 14th would mean arriving on the wrong day. Here are the dates and places together:
- Namsan Campnic: Baekbeom Square, ended November 7, KRW 10,000 deposit per team
- Autumn Foliage Walk: Namsan Yejang Park, ended November 7, KRW 5,000 deposit per person
- Palgak Club: Palgakjeong near N Seoul Tower, scheduled November 14 at 17:30–19:00 / 19:30–21:00, KRW 5,000 deposit per person
The organizer says deposits are refunded after attendance. Palgak Club appearing on the schedule does not mean a reservation place is still available.
Where should we meet?
Palgak Club on the 14th is at Palgakjeong near N Seoul Tower. That differs from Campnic’s Baekbeom Square and the walk’s starting point at Namsan Yejang Park. “Meet at Namsan” could send your group to different places.
A booked session starts at Palgakjeong, not at the foot of the mountain. Leave time for the climb and for any dinner plans rather than treating the start time as your arrival time at the entrance.
What else costs money?
Transport and food still cost money even when the deposit comes back. The organizer recommends public transport and provides neither parking passes nor parking reimbursement. If you planned to drive, that changes the budget and route.
The later session on November 14 ends at 21:00. Walking down and getting home at night may take longer than expected, especially for someone who finds hills tiring. Weather or reservation conditions may change, so see the organizer’s notices before leaving.
Editor’s tip: Save your booked session and the Palgakjeong location separately; it makes the meeting point and journey home easier to plan.
