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

Camping in Virginia is one of the best ways to appreciate the great outdoors. A night under the stars, surrounded by beautiful scenery and the sounds of crickets, is all you need to feel restored and rejuvenated. But, if the typical tent set-up doesn't inspire you to load up the car and head to the woods, we may have found just the ticket. Yurts are circular tents historically traditional to nomadic cultures in Mongolia, Siberia, and Turkey. These days, they make for popular recreational accommodations that can be outfitted with amenities such as full-size beds and, in some cases, even electricity. Here are five campgrounds in Virginia that have yurts you can enjoy for a slightly more pampered camping experience. So whether this is your first time or your hundredth time camping in yurts in Virginia, you will want to check out these amazing spots.

1. Hungry Mother State Park

Hungry Mother State Park is a pristine stretch of wilderness in southwest Virginia. There's so much to explore, including the famous Molly's Knob, so be sure to plan to stay at least a full day here. Conveniently, there are three yurts available to rent that will take your outdoor experience to the next level.
