Floor plan of Blue’s Home campsite (screenshot from official Facebook page):

The sweeping mountain mist view is refreshing and makes you want to extend your camping trip.

Flowers blooming everywhere

Pallet-view area, great value

180-degree panoramic views overlooking the mountain ranges

Bamboo forest by the mountainside with drifting clouds

Cedar forest trail—cool and refreshing

Bamboo forest trail, full of biodiversity

Here’s how to get to Blue’s Home Campsite: Exit at Zhudong Interchange on Highway 3

Head toward Zhudong

At County Road 120 connecting to Provincial Highway 3, please turn right toward Zhudong

At the 18 km mark on County Road 120, turn right toward Zhudong

Pass through Hengshan Station, then keep going

Clear enough? On Provincial Highway 3, after passing the CPC gas station and 7-11, turn left onto County Road 122

At the 49 km mark on County Road 122, prepare to turn right uphill

At the 50.4 km end point of County Road 122, turn right uphill

At around the 16 km mark on County Road 67 (counting down), prepare for the mountain road turn leading into the campsite

At the mountain road turn, see this sign and turn left to enter the campsite

This is the turning (look for the sign by the utility pole indicating the entrance)

Turn right at the campsite entrance gate

Campsite address

Upon entering the campsite, the camp office is on the right—it sells drinks (they’re a bit pricier up here, haha)

The camphor tree area and the washroom facilities for the cedar forest area are also located next to the camp office (two restrooms)

Men’s restroom

As soon as you enter the gate, you’ll see the camphor tree scenic area

Located at the highest point of the campsite, the wooden deck viewing platform is rainproof.

From the camphor area w?? down to the valley; it's a great spot for birdwatching, wildflowers, and forest trails.

Sink.

Convenient waterproof outlets.

In front of the camphor area, there is a shared kitchen (must be borrowed from the campsite owner).

Next to it, there's another one — a favorite among the little ones, offering a beautiful early morning view.

Campers who love group cooking sure do bring gas canisters when they go camping, huh? XD

After a lively evening, everything quiets down by midnight.

To the right of the camphor area and downhill is where the campsite owner lives, as well as the cedar forest area where one tent can be pitched.

Sink in front of the tea area.

Going further downhill leads to the cedar forest area.

Flat gravel grassy area.

Dedicated sink.

Cedar forest area, with a dedicated toilet for the azalea area.

Today, the campsite owner’s younger brother also pitched his tent here; the whole family are camping enthusiasts (his fire dragon setup is super professional).

Also took a nighttime shot.

Azalea area (this is where we pitched our tent today).

A narrow campsite area, just enough space to pitch one tent.

The cement road leading down from above isn’t slippery when wet, making it easy for vehicles to drive (just watch your turns).

Aerial view of the azalea area.

Two sinks.

It rained all afternoon, but the air is incredibly fresh.

Beautiful mountain mist views can be seen at any time during the rain.

A two-person trip with a tarp and a triangular tent — easy to set up and take down.

The neighboring tent is also almost ready for camping; relaxing after the rain.

Every angle offers a different view.

How do you want to plan your camping trip this week?

Summer calls for a cool camping trip — how about some leisure in the coolness? Do you want that too?

A leisurely shot in the misty rain — nature’s air-conditioned room. A quiet camping night. Tonight, the campers seem to have lowered their voices on time. On a starless night, it’s better to rest early.

It has an en-suite bathroom. The cherry blossom area also features a gravel and grass surface, with wooden boards provided for flooring.

The cherry blossom area has a private bathroom, located at the far end of the walkway.

Male-only.

Comes with a bucket and ladle.

Night ride group camping.

A really nice and hospitable group.

Located below the cherry blossom area in the sweet gum tree area. The sweet gum tree area is unused for camping today and is being used as a parking lot.

The turf area is probably the last one to be completed.

One sink.

Night lighting and waterproof outlets.

The bathroom facilities are right next to the sweet gum tree area.

One washbasin.

Four bathrooms.

Although the bathrooms are simple, the campsite owner cleans them every morning—they’re very clean (toilet paper provided).

The final area is the peony area.

Every section at Bru’s Home Campsite is a scenic campsite, just with different viewing directions.

There are no obstructions in front, offering great views and a 100% coolness factor.

I especially love taking photos of the SP tents—they look pretty cool.

In the peony area, it’s better to drive your vehicle to the innermost part of the campsite for parking, which makes setting up camp easier.

The small area in front can be used for parking (though vehicles cannot be driven out).

Although there were no spectacular night views tonight, the sight of the tents under the night sky was still incredibly beautiful.

Camping, right? It’s all about the feeling.

What you need most in summer is cool, refreshing breezes (the campsite is pet-friendly, and the gentle wind was so soothing I zoned out).

I fell asleep in no time (really couldn’t be woken up, haha).

A walk through the cedar forest—nature’s little surprises.

Venturing outdoors for camping, you don’t just meet new friends—you also encounter insects and plants you’ve never seen in the forest, and you can capture the campsite from unique angles. Isn’t camping fascinating?

Different perspectives on camping.

The moment you press the shutter—it’s the most magical, isn’t it?!

Bru’s Home Campsite NO:166, and the journey along the camp road has reached stop 76.

Surrounded by mist—is this a fairyland?

No, this is Bru’s home, and also my home when I camp.
