Bōsō Hanto and Kujukuri have many camping options, parking lots are very busy during summer months and you will have to pay to stay. But during off season it is relaxed and you can park for free. There are Michi no Eki (Parking Stations) which offer free overnight parking and toilet facility. Bathing can be done at the many Onsen ( Hot Spring Bath ) in the region.
