2026 Camping Cooking Festival

The 2026 Camping Cooking Festival is a camping-stay culinary festival jointly organized by Ilgan Sports and Edaily. Held for three days from June 12 to June 14, 2026, at the Pyeonghwa Nuri Camping Ground in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, the event operates with participants from across the country staying at campsites to engage in cooking competitions and various experiential programs. Participants are approved after undergoing an initial online screening based on recipes submitted during pre-registration. In the final cooking competition, a panel of judges evaluates menus prepared on-site by participating teams to select the Grand Prize, Top Excellence Award, Excellence Award, and Special Award winners. Marking the festival's 10th anniversary, the 2026 event will be held on an expanded scale and is structured as a complex festival combining camping, cooking, family leisure, and outdoor experience content. In particular, promotional booths introducing local specialties and tourism content, along with performances and experiential programs, will be operated alongside the main events, creating an open festival that can be freely viewed and enjoyed by not only campers but also all visitors.
