Writing about our travels in the vast land of China by RV with passion to do the difficult way

The camping area is close to Shanghai, where you can stay for a nice weekend with/without kids

This Mid-Autumn festival in Dingwen RV Camping Base is not easy to find on the internet or other media but could be seen in the camping/traveling below app. Both of the map applications did not have address information. At least Google maps can show the buildings, but Baidu only shows fields.

This is what we use during our trips. With the app, you can find camping, rentals, repair shops, and all other things needed for traveling in China. There are some more useful apps, so check this page for more information. The biggest limitation with Woyouzhijia is that when searching with it, it has a search radius of a max of 200km and is only in Chinese.

Arrival at the Tenting Mid-Autumn festival in Dingwen RV Camping Base on Chongming Island

The campsite is located in between some farm fields and the sound from the highway could not reach or be heard at all. Plenty of green areas and waterways and some forest surrounding the campsite. In the area, we could find restaurants with standard local dishes for lunch/dinner, and there were plenty of seating places for a bigger group.

Activities for the kids in the activity house

Kids immediately found the activity house in this Tenting Mid-Autumn festival in Dingwen RV Camping Base, where they had fancy and nice equipment, starting from microscopes with specimens you could study. For the dark night, telescopes were available, and I hope the Shanghais lights and pollution are not preventing star watches. Ping pong is a must; also, they had a small shop with some snacks and drinks. At that moment, shelves were not filled fully in the shop, but as per the owner, they will fill more and have a bigger variety later.

BBQ at the camping with new equipment

The campsite had brand new BBQs that you could borrow. We took that change immediately and made some Russian-style Šašlik. Having your tables and chairs with you is a nice add-on so you can enjoy dinner in the piece and with your family. The owners/staff are very friendly; if needed, they can provide tables/chairs and BBQ to your place to enjoy meals on the spot without dragging everything from home.

The place can accommodate about 30 RVs, and campers with tents are welcomed

The price is 180CNY/day, including water/electricity. I think this is very reasonable as it includes the water and electricity
