A night under the stars just seems so – romantic? Adventurous? Fill in the blank since we all have our own reasons for seeking the tranquility of nature when we camp. But, sometimes camping isn’t so glamorous. Not all of us enjoy sleeping on the hard ground, fighting off mosquitoes, and wondering just where those strange nighttime noises are coming from. Luckily for us, some parks in Pennsylvania offer yurts for overnight adventures that allow us to enjoy all the comforts of home while camping.
Tucked in Indiana County, Yellow Creek State Park in Pennsylvania stretches across near 3,000 acres and boasts the 720-acre Yellow Creek Lake.
