As the cold wind arrives, year-end excitement starts with warm lights and good food. If you want Christmas-season romance without shivering while pitching a tent, ParaFra Cheonan is a hidden gem.
With no complicated prep, you just show up and enjoy a resort-like atmosphere and quality barbecue as day glamping. Here’s the Christmas mood we found at ParaFra Cheonan.
White Cabanas and Christmas Photo Zones in Cheonan
ParaFra is the kind of place that makes you gasp the moment you arrive.
Though it’s just outside Cheonan, the white tents, cabanas and lights feel like a Southeast Asian resort.
In winter and at year’s end, the atmosphere grows even richer.
A giant Christmas tree and warm mood lights between the tents make every photo look like art.
Strongly recommended: book the sunset-to-evening slot (first session)
The mood changes completely once the lights come on.
Grilling barbecue under twinkling lights in the quiet winter air fully charges your Christmas spirit.
The tents are well heated, so you can take off your coat for photos.
With kids, the Christmas ornament photo zone in front of the tents guarantees plenty of great shots.
No Gear Needed: The Day Glamping System
ParaFra Cheonan isn’t overnight glamping; it’s closer to day glamping plus a premium barbecue zone.
So there’s no gear to pack; just show up.
How it works
* Usually two 4-hour sessions
(times vary by date, so confirm when booking)
What to bring?
Nothing. Really, just yourselves.
Charcoal, grill, table setting, heating and lights are all ready.
Just grill, chat and take photos.
Heating and windbreaks
Each tent has a heater and wind cover, so it isn’t cold even in winter.
The temperature stays comfortable enough for kids.
The Barbecue Is Actually Good
Great glamping vibes mean little if the meat is disappointing, right?
ParaFra Cheonan serves meat on par with a barbecue specialist.
Required menu purchase
(tent fee is separate, and each person must order a barbecue menu)
* Korean pork belly and neck set: the most popular
* Hanwoo ribeye: for special occasions
The meat comes neatly portioned.
Self bar (really useful)
* Unlimited fresh vegetables
* Ssamjang and sauces
* Kimchi
* Ramen corner
* Rice, sausages, drinks, alcohol and marshmallows for sale
* An instant ramen cooker
The smell of ramen drifting between the tents
really boosts the winter camping mood.
In Winter, the Fire Pit Is the Answer
The highlight of ParaFra is the fire pit in the center.
Crackling firewood and warmth in the winter night air make it a healing spot.
After barbecue, gather here with a coffee or toast marshmallows,
and you’ve got a scene from a holiday movie.
Fire pit availability may vary by conditions on the day, so ask before you visit.
