Sukumo Sunny Side Park Campground

Sunnyside Park, a scenic campground nestled alongside a roadside station (michinoeki) with a stunning view of Sukumo Bay, offers an unparalleled camping experience on the Shikoku Pilgrimage route. Following extensive renovations, the facility celebrated its grand reopening, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of Sukumo Bay or marvel at the “daruma” sunsets in winter, which are considered auspicious and adds a mystical touch to the camping experience. The campground spans approximately 4,000 square meters of lush green space, featuring around 20 camping plots that allow guests to appreciate the location’s prime views. The michinoeki not only sells delicious local Sukumo products and goods but also offers various rental items such as tents, BBQ sets, and sleeping bags, facilitating an enjoyable camping experience even for those who come empty-handed.

Reopened in May 2023 after about a year of renovation, this roadside station along National Route 321 has transformed into a haven for both locals seeking relaxation and tourists looking for a rest stop. Sunnyside Park now features a children’s play area and a campground, making it a perfect family-friendly destination that leverages the natural beauty of its surroundings for outdoor leisure activities. This blend of natural splendor, convenience, and family-oriented facilities makes Sunnyside Park an ideal spot for campers on the Shikoku Pilgrimage to connect with nature and enjoy the serenity of Sukumo Bay.
