Let’s be honest: Not everyone suits the rough-and-tumble life of camp. Enter, glamping, an ideal option for a stylish, resort-like experience outdoors. Each air-conditioned tent at Seoul Stay comes with a private pool and a private bathroom, along with complimentary breakfast and access to all campsite facilities.
There are two kinds of tents at Seoul Stay in Rizal: Honey Tent for up to four guests, and Family Tent for groups of up to 10 people. Set on its own deck with a small pool and hangout spot, each is a quiet hideout for bonding with friends. It’s designed to keep guests at total ease with creature comforts like cushy mattresses and hot water in the bathrooms.
At night, gather around your private bonfire area ‘til the wee hours of the night. As a bonus, you’ll get a s’mores kit so everyone can enjoy this classic camp snack during your getaway.
Prefer a more classic Korean experience? Seoul Stay recently launched beautiful hanok villas inspired by traditional Korean houses. For a second, you’ll almost believe you’ve been transported to 14th-century Korea. Some guests even come dressed in a hanbok to look like the part!

Along with all the amenities of the tents, each hanok also enjoys a private cinema projector for bingeing your favourite K-dramas with your buddies.
Thanks to the Korean restaurant and café on the property, guests don’t have to cook their own meals during their camping-slash-glamping trip. From samgyupsal to gamjatang, Seoul Kitchen serves popular dishes so guests can get a taste of Korea from the provincial hills of Binangonan.
After getting your fill of the mouthwatering feast, settle in for a chill night of Korean movies at Seoul Stay’s outdoor cinema. We’re telling you: Movie nights are even more fun when enjoyed under the stars! Other notable camp amenities at Seoul Stay in Rizal include an archery range, an outdoor basketball court, and an outdoor driving range with a putting green.
