Camping in Virginia is bound to be an enjoyable experience, no matter where you decide to pitch a tent. But what if you didn’t have to pitch your tent at all to enjoy an incredible camping adventure? That’s the idea behind yurts, which are all-weather shelters that strike a perfect balance between traditional camping and “glamping” (a.k.a. glamour camping). If you’re interested in trying out this unique overnight accommodation, head to Kiptopeke State Park for one of the most unique campgrounds in Virginia.
Located on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, Kiptopeke State Park offers a breathtaking experience of the Chesapeake Bay. It’s a memorable day trip destination, and even better if you can stay for a night or two.

The park’s newest camping feature is a yurt campground tucked away in the woods, though not far from the shoreline.

Each of the four yurts can sleep four campers and possibly another with the couch.

Inside, the structures are cozy and spacious enough to spend time inside should it begin to rain. Only one of the yurts is hooked up to electricity, so you’ll want to bring flashlights.
