Miaoli Big Grassland Camping Site: Features a dreamy treehouse and a white sand pit that kids will love!

Text and photos byMaster He

In the wilderness, you often find yourself unknowingly,
Gazing at the mysterious starry night sky,
After the quiet midnight,
Fantasizing about a romantic world that belongs only to campers,
Story after story of LOVE and camping,
Memory after memory stored in your SD cards,
They make me believe that
I can keep writing forever,
With no reason not to fall in love with camping.

Big Grassland Starry Sky Square.

Happy parent-child activities on the grassland.

Kids can run around freely.

The campsite offers free rental of play equipment (please use with care).

The most popular white sand area under the trees.

All dedicated zones are equipped with night lights.

This is the moment parent-child camping is all about.

A safe space where kids can play freely.

A rich ecological scene in the early morning.

The children’s dream treehouse.

Super spacious campsite areas, each over 5x8 meters.

Comfortable grass that lets you run barefoot.

The most beautiful rainbow appeared in the evening glow (shot with GF6 using aperture control).

Handcrafted creative men’s restroom.

Women’s restroom with heater (super considerate for parents and kids in winter)

Orange Farmhouse Camping Area (Orange Shed 3 Eats) Campsite Layout Chart:

Now let’s see how to get to the Orange Shed 3 Eats Camping Area:

Take Highway 72 toward Dahu and Wenshui.

On Highway 72 toward Wenshui (end point), turn right toward Dahu.

Prepare to turn left near the 146 km mark on Provincial Highway 3.

The left turn at the 146.3 km mark on Provincial Highway 3 is very easy to spot.

Here's an enlarged view — it's very clear (enter from here).

Start going uphill. To the right (uphill for about 1 km).

At the end of the uphill road, turn left.

After passing Hualu and Tai San Farm, immediately turn left (there are small orange signs along the way).

After about two to three hundred meters, you’ll reach the small path next to the camp gate — please enter.

The entire area is enclosed by a fence made of reclaimed wood (on the left is the Phase II restaurant, on the right is the camp headquarters).

On the left is the entrance to the large parking lot, on the right is the camp gate (both sides of the gate have temporary parking areas — park properly and then enter).

Just by looking around the entrance, you can tell this campsite is very well planned.

The camp headquarters, renovated from an old orange warehouse, retains much of its original appearance with minimal alteration.

Under the corridor of the camp headquarters, there are borrowable play equipment and a notice board (seasonal fruits and vegetables are sometimes displayed here).

Due to the large grassy area, several carts are provided (available at all times).

This time I also made a last-minute overnight booking (Ginkgo Area).

After setting up the tent, I chatted with the camp owner’s sister for quite a while.

To be honest, I’ve gotten into night camping these past few months (it’s cooler to pitch tents at night, and taking your time setting up avoids couple fights XD).

Getting used to having the whole site to yourself feels really great — I highly recommend fellow campers to give it a try (safety first).

A view of the entire Ginkgo Area.

This area has the most tents, probably because it’s close to the toilets.

The sinks are all concentrated at the front, which is quite convenient (there are seats for placing miscellaneous items or for campers to exchange camping tips).

Thoughtfully provided with basket hanging points (a really great idea).

One of the perks of night camping — waking up early to see dozens of little egrets right in front (only visible when there are fewer people).

The campsite layout provides large campsites measuring 5x8 meters.

The weather forecast predicted rain this week, so all the spots got booked up (the camp owner’s sister is very accommodating — you can cancel or postpone).

The morning sunlight is extremely bright.

The evening sunset is incredibly beautiful and spectacular (shot with GF6 using aperture control).

Camping is all about capturing moments and sharing them with fellow campers.

Not many tents tonight — only five in total, so it’s very quiet.

A tent with an inner tent from Youyou Campsite in Taoyuan, a very lightweight setup for camping.

Herb Garden Area (by the vegetable garden entrance)

Using logs as fencing for the vegetable garden is really unique. There are two sinks at the entrance of the herb garden plot.

Upon entering, you’ll find the vegetable garden currently has seedlings, not yet full-grown vegetables (sweet potato leaves and corn can be harvested with permission).

Waterproof electrical box—safety first.

The Orange Cabin Three Meals Campsite is exceptionally well-maintained. Many thoughtful details here could serve as inspiration for other campsites.

Herb Garden Area, rear section—only one tent pitched here this time.

Also, due to the low number of campers, one tent was set up temporarily under the trees in front of the Herb Garden Area. It was a very peaceful night shot.

Of course, the most lively spot belongs to the students’ tents here, XD.

Evening family activities kick off.

Papaya Area. This section has grass that’s been maintained beautifully.

The centralized sink is located right within the campsite.

Sunset cloud scenery shot towards the papaya area.

Enchanting night view under the trees (not much light pollution in the campsite)—only the sink area has night lighting.

Now let’s take a look at the Guava Area. This is currently the largest section in the campsite, able to accommodate up to nine tents.

Dedicated dishwashing area (with seating, can also be used to place miscellaneous items or for campers to share camping tips).

At the far end, there’s a children’s playground and a treehouse.

In front of the Guava Area is the play square. Side shot of the Guava Area.

Sunset view (shot with GF6 using lens hood for light control).

The last section is the Banana Area (requires booking all five tents).

Booking area next to the treehouse. The campsite owner is really generous with the space provided.

Dedicated dishwashing area.

A large block of space is reserved for only five tents—lots of room to move around, which is great.

There’s also a dedicated log bench (inside the barrel is a white sand pit, exclusively for toddlers).

The exclusive area is really amazing, isn’t it?

Chatting leisurely under the treehouse.

You can feel the care put into the campsite just by looking at this (the barrel contains a white sand pit, exclusively for toddlers).

It’s no wonder such a well-maintained campsite becomes popular.

Enjoying a quiet night with a few close friends, drinking and chatting here in the evening.

Finally, the welcome white sand pit (with shade from the trees to block the sun).

A beautifully serene green setting.

Take a look — the playground is really huge (safety rating: 100/100).

The care put into this campsite is evident even in the turf.

The most enjoyable moment of family camping.

It was also for these joyful times that I started camping in the first place.

The incredibly unique bathroom facilities at Orange Cabin Three Meals.

Outdoor sink.

Sand and foot-washing pool.

Men’s section only, very clean with no odor.

A bright bathroom you’ll want to use several times a day.

Check out the very special women’s restroom (door threshold is about 20 cm & there are two steps) (please note for visitors with disabilities).

All cleaning supplies are provided at the campsite.

Family-friendly bathroom with a heater available in winter (please be cautious and keep your distance).

Clean toilet stall.

Family bathroom.

The most relaxing night shower.

The most beautiful playground.

The most enchanting scenery.

This camping trip marks No:183 overall; on the Weekly Camping Journey, it's No:93.

Zooming around the playground is the utmost happiness.

Happy camping at Orange Cabin Three Meals — you’ll fall in love with it, really.
