Glamping: Red Top Yurt in Marion, North Carolina

The Park is at about 1800′ elevation in the middle of the Pisgah National Forest, nestled in a narrow valley surrounded by mountains on all sides. Beautiful Buck Creek flows through this valley and along two sides of the campground. The Blue Ridge Parkway is about 5 miles by road. Yurt is a modern adaption of the traditional Mongolian tent, which was used by nomads in ancient times. It is a large, circular structure that serves as a more luxurious and comfortable way to experience the outdoors.
