Very pleasant weekend. Had the whole site (and the river) to ourselves, just Chung and our spouses. 
Will definitely visit this spot again.

No cabins here. No need for a/c up there. It's quite cool at night. You just need a tent with good ventilation and to camp in good shade.

Strange as it may seem, I've noticed that some folks prefer the penetrating embrace of the morning sun. I guess they're hoping to get an early start on their tan.

About a two hour drive from Taipei. The resort just down the road from this campsite has cabins as well as segregated hot spring pools which should appeal to a pampered spouse.
Also a few other good hot spring rooms and outdoor complexes in area and a good places to eat. While the wife soaks take the kid up the river to swim in natural pools.“Everywhere else in the world is also really old” said Prof. Liu, a renowned historian at Beijing University. “We always learn that China has 5000 years of cultural heritage, and that therefore we are very special. It appears that other places also have some of this heritage stuff. And are also old. Like, really old.”

Since you ask so politely, the tan is doing great, thanks!
