Why Rent a Yurt?
Eight great reasons why you should
rent a yurt at the #1 Rock Tavern River Kamp
The Cherokee Rose Yurt is one of six yurts you can rent when you stay with us at the #1 Rock Tavern River Kamp on the beautiful Shenandoah River in Virginia
If you are looking for a freeing, close-to-nature, camping adventure, as opposed to booking a hotel, you may have thought about renting a yurt. Here’s a little background about yurts to pique your interest: Horse-loving nomads who journeyed across the steppes of Central Asia have lived in hide-covered, circular-shaped homes since ancient times, and for centuries, their dome-like shape, and the natural materials used to cover them, would protect these intrepid wanderers from the strong winds and severe weather encountered during their treks.
Recently, staying in a yurt has evolved into “glamping,” and because of its elegant simplicity, the yurt exceeds the expectations of traditional tent campers but is not quite as fussy (or expensive!) as a fancy hotel stay. Rugged yet whimsical, the hearty yurt plays a big role in the “glamping” revolution. As an early adopter and advocate of yurts, and “glamping” in Luray, Virginia, #1 Rock Tavern River Kamp has evolved as well – and is now a go-to glamping hub for individuals, couples, small familes or friends getting together for a fun-loving camping excursion in Luray, Virginia. Water-proof material, doors, windows, and an expansive, elevated platform appeal to campers (like you!) who seek the comfort and convenience of a yurt, within a wooded campsite setting.
Does the idea of camping (or “glamping”) in a yurt appeal to you? Wondering where you can rent a yurt in Luray, Virginia? Here are eight, great reasons why you should rent a yurt at the #1 Rock Tavern River Kamp in Luray, Virginia, with some kind words from our guests about their recent stays sprinkled in for good measure:

Here’s why: At the #1 Rock Tavern River Kamp, you are “this close” to to the river’s edge (literally – so, bring your water shoes, you’ll need them because once you walk down to the river of course you’ll want to go in it), and you’ll be “this much closer” to having one of the most relaxing vacation get-aways ever!
