I love the idea of camping, but primitive camping isn’t necessarily my thing. I would much rather enjoy comfort while surrounded by nature. If you can relate, then glamping is a great option for you! This more glamorous form of camping is the ideal middle ground between a hotel or luxury cabin and roughing it in a tent. One unique option for glamping is staying in yurts in Georgia. These structures are sturdier than pitched tents and typically have electricity and beds. You can find them at many yurt campgrounds in Georgia. Here are seven yurt camping spots where you can sleep comfortably.
1. Fort Yargo State Park, Winder
Fort Yargo State Park is one of the most underrated parks in Georgia. It spans over 1,800 acres and has a gorgeous lake and fantastic trails.
The yurts at Fort Yargo State Park have air conditioning and electricity, and can sleep up to six. This is a fantastic option if you're really wanting to immerse yourself in the park and have an extended stay.
