Forget about pitching a tent. At the most unique campsite in Mississippi, you don’t need a tent, and that’s because it’s got a yurt! But not just any yurt. This yurt is spacious and stocked with everything from books and games to an antique piano. It’s pure magic!
Yurts (which are round, tent-like abodes) have become pretty popular in recent years. And the trend has made its way to Mississippi!
The yurt doesn't have plumbing or a kitchen. Don't worry, though. There's a "luxury outhouse" nearby and a fire pit - complete with a cooking grate - just outside the yurt.
Remember to bring cooking supplies, utensils, a cooler, etc.
It’s preferred that all food prep and consumption take place outside the yurt, which is no problem since there’s a large picnic table with plenty of seating.
No matter the time of year you visit, you can enjoy some outdoor fun. In the cooler months, you can hike along the nearby trails, and in the warmer months, go for a dip in the swimming pond.
