I was very lucky I got to volunteer at the camping for a second time and I loved it even more than the first time. I absolutely love this place. It has become like a second home for me thanks to Jii and her family as well as the other volunteers! The work is not difficult at all if you work well together. How much work there is really depends on the day. Geochang is a really nice city. And it is quite easy to travel to different places in Korea from here. I would definitely recommend people to volunteer at this place! I really hope that future volunteers have as much fun here as I had.

I feel incredibly grateful for the 5 unforgettable weeks I spent with this wonderful Korean family on their strawberry farm. Working on the farm was meaningful, but what made this experience truly special was the warmth, generosity, and love I felt every single day. I especially want to thank Jii, who was always in touch with me and made everything easier with her kindness. I am also deeply grateful to her mom for her love and amazing meals, and to her dad for his kindness and hard work. Thank you Bong family I will always carry your kindness in my heart ♥️

I spent a month volunteering at the camping clamping, the place is so peaceful, beautiful, and it is an experience I will always remember with warmth. Jii and her family are so kind and respectful, they treated me with a real care throughout my stay. The working hours are fair, some days with not to much tasks, and other days a quite busy, but I promise, your entire time in the camping clamping will be memorable. I made some friends there, but the unforgettable one was Ocbun, she is the sweetest little senior dog you will ever meet. 💛

This was my first worldpacker experience, so I was a bit nervous in the beginning. But I ended up absolutely loving my time there. Jii and her family are very kind and truly try to make you feel like part of the worldpackers family at the glamling and farm! The work is quite easy and the workload depends on how busy the camping is that day. the camping is also a great way to meet other volunteers. I feel like I made some lifelong friends during my stay! I would definitely recommend going to this the camping and would even come back myself!

I still remember the first night you arrived with your big backpack, Catlin! You looked a little nervous, but your smile quickly lit up the whole place.
It was such a joy to see you grow comfortable and enjoy your time here with us.

Thank you for being such a kind, open-hearted volunteer. We're glad you connected with others and made lasting memories at our glamping site and farm.
You're always welcome back to Bong Farm and glamping — anytime!
