Location & Accessibility

Nestled in the heart of Thousand Island Lake, the Thousand Island Lake Starry Sky International Campground is a hidden gem in Chun’an County, Hangzhou. To get here, you can either drive along the scenic highway (about 2 hours from Hangzhou city) or take a bus to Thousand Island Lake Town and hop in a taxi to the campground, located inside the Beer Town Adventure Park. The journey is part of the adventure—think winding lakeside roads and lush greenery!

Natural Scenery

The campground lives up to its name: imagine waking up to crystal-clear lake waters, mist-covered mountains, and skies so clear they sparkle at night. Thousand Island Lake itself is famous for its 1,078 islands, each with unique shapes and stories. At the campground, you can kayak through the lake, hike trails surrounded by pine forests, or simply relax by the water while spotting wildlife like herons and kingfishers. At night, the lack of light pollution makes it a perfect spot for stargazing—hence the name “Starry Sky”!

Cultural Touches

While the area is mostly known for nature, there’s a touch of local culture too. The nearby Beer Town (a fun, European-style village) hosts occasional festivals with music, food stalls, and craft beer tastings. You might also meet friendly locals who’ll share stories about the lake’s history—like how it was created by damming a river in 1959, turning farmlands into an island-dotted paradise.

Amenities & Comfort

Don’t let the “adventure” part fool you—the Thousand Island Lake Starry Sky International Campground is packed with comforts. Choose between cozy cabins, tent sites with real beds, or even glamping yurts. Bathrooms are clean, and there’s a lakeside restaurant serving fresh fish dishes and local specialties. For thrill-seekers, the campground offers equipment rentals for activities like paddleboarding, zip-lining, and mountain biking.

Immersive Experience

A day here feels like a mix between a nature retreat and a playground. Start with a boat tour of the lake’s iconic islands, then challenge yourself on the Adventure Park’s rope courses or rock climbing walls. At sunset, join a bonfire with live music and s’mores. When it’s dark, lie back in a hammock and watch shooting stars—the campground’s namesake experience! Families love the kid-friendly activities, while couples and friends find plenty of quiet spots for relaxation.

Why It’s Worth It

What makes Thousand Island Lake Starry Sky International Campground special? It’s the best of both worlds: remote enough to feel like an escape, but with all the conveniences of a modern retreat. Whether you’re a nature lover, an adrenaline junkie, or someone who just wants to unwind, this place has something for everyone. Plus, the photos you’ll get (lake reflections, starry skies, jungle-like trails) will make your friends back home seriously jealous!
