Stone Mountain Park just added three new yurts to make being outdoors a little easier.
Yurts are a popular glamping trend and they are a round structure that merges the world of tents, huts and houses.
Traditionally, used as portable dwelling by nomadic cultures of central Asia the yurt has become a growing accommodation trend around the globe and in the glamping industry.
Modern yurts are permanently built on a wooden platform and they use modern materials such as wood or metal framing, canvas, plexiglas domes, wire rope and other materials.
In addition, a lot of modern yurts have been insulated to keep guests warm during colder months.
These modern building styles allow for yurts to be customized and accessorized like never before with things such as wood floors, fireplaces, plumbing, electricity and so much more!
At Stone Mountain Park’s sought after campground, yurts have caught on as an option for first time campers and anyone else who is looking for a new adventure in the wilderness.
The campground has three lakeside yurts and are now adding three new yurt units to meet the rising demands.
Stone Mountain Park will be taking reservations for the yurts beginning November 27th.
For first time campers, yurts are a very comfortable way to enjoy the outdoors offering guests creature comforts at your fingertips.
The yurts at Stone Mountain are made of wood and insulated canvas and the units are located on a picturesque lake.
Each yurt features large windows, skylights, ceiling fans and lockable doors, dedicated parking, a potable water spigot, charcoal grill, comfortable log-style furniture, private deck with seating, heating and air conditioning, lighting and electricity that make this dwelling a comfortable option for even the most wary campers.
In addition, there is a queen size bed, twin bunk bed and a double futon, offering up to five campers a good night’s rest.
There are also convenience centers just steps away with restrooms, showers and laundry facilities.
The yurt concept is over 2,400 years old, but round tent-like abodes have now become a popular glamping trend across the country.
