Go Glamping At These 5 Campgrounds In Pennsylvania With Yurts For An Unforgettable Adventure

In some ways, the thought of camping is romantic – getting close to nature, falling asleep under a starry sky, and roughing it like our forefathers. However, not all of us like sleeping on the cold, hard ground, dealing with pesky bugs as we try to sleep, and worrying that the rain will suddenly crash down on us. Glamping allows us to enjoy all the beauty of nature with more of the amenities of home. That's what you’ll find when you check into these five campgrounds in Pennsylvania for yurt camping.

1. Happy Acres Resort – Waterville

Escape to the mountains at Happy Acres Resort, a beautiful getaway near Little Pine State Park. The year-round campground is home to the Owl’s Nest, a cozy yurt that offers a slew of amenities, including a Jacuzzi tub, a skylight, and a covered deck. Nightly, weekend, and weekly rates are available. Learn more on the official website of Happy Acres Resort.

2. Yogi Bear’s Camp Jellystone at Kozy Rest – Harrisville

Camp Jellystone appeals to kids of all ages and kids at heart. While you’ll have quite a few unique accommodations from which to choose, you can’t go wrong in one of the two yurts if you're looking for "yurt camping near me." Both sleep up to six guests, and both now feature A/C for those hot summer days. Spend your days exploring the campground, which features everything from swimming to laser tag, before cozying up in your yurt. Get all of the details on the official website of Jellystone Park at Kozy Rest.

3. Bald Eagle State Park – Howard

Escape to nature at Bald Eagle State Park, home to two Pennsylvania yurts that sleep up to six guests.
