Camping at Samaji Campground on Xiao Liu Qiu
Many visitors stay the night on Xiao Liu Qiu. There are two options. 1 is to book many of the B&Bs or “Minsu” on the island. The other is to camp. The largest and nicest camping spot is the Samaji Campground.
Samaji is located at the eastern portion of the island facing the mainland. There are camping spots and little villas to rent.
Prices for a tent are 200 for weekdays and 300 for weekends. Add 100 NT extra is you want breakfast. Samaji will provide you a tent and sleeping bag, but you need to pitch the tent yourself.
There is a website and Facebook page for Samaji. See below. However, the site is only in Chinese. There are many kinds of rooms and packages ranging from 2700NT to 6000NT for bigger villas. You also need to wire an ATM deposit as well. All the information is clear on the website, but if no one can help you translate, just send them a simple emal message as to what you want.
The campsite views are great.
