Checklist of 38 Department of Highways camping areas for Winter and New Year

     During the winter and New Year season, the atmosphere of tourism becomes quite bustling, especially in the northern region where people travel to relax and experience the cold weather. Those who enjoy nature tourism or camping will invariably search for tent coordinates to get close to nature.

     The Department of Highways has opened tenting areas nationwide to facilitate travel and relaxation and to provide alternatives for citizens and tourists. Each location is situated within the jurisdiction of the Highway Department, with staff available to provide convenience and services to the public 24 hours a day. These services include drinking water, toilets, and highway information. The public can stay overnight or rest at these locations free of charge.
