Yurts in Arkansas

Whether hiking past ancient rock formations in the Devil's Den State Park, trekking to thermal pools in the Hot Springs National Park, or zipping along miles of ATV trails in the Ozark National Forest—exploring the Natural State is all about getting outdoors. Not all camping adventures have to mean pitching your own tent or lugging a heavy pack along backcountry trails, though. Renting a yurt means you can enjoy an authentic camping experience without the hassle (or expense) of bringing all your own gear. Private glamping yurts often come with home comforts like queen size beds and heating or air-conditioning, while five Arkansas state parks offer Rent-a-Yurt accommodation with bunk beds, cooking stoves, and firepits for toasting your s’mores. Head to DeGray Lake Resort State Park to swim, paddle, or play golf; go horseback riding at Lake Catherine State Park, or hook a 20-inch bass at Lake Charles State Park.
