The state of Alabama is gastronomically, culturally, and environmentally rich, and it hosts fun festivals every year to showcase this. It is a popular destination for glampers, campers, and hikers who troop in yearly to enjoy its beautiful outdoors. The 24 state parks in total, making it a real paradise for adventurous souls seeking thrilling encounters with nature. Hotels provide convenience, but one of the best ways to experience Alabama is to check out some of the best campsites in Gulf Shores, a popular city by the coast. However, if camping sounds too basic and you still want to enjoy the outdoors without worrying about the heat, rain, mosquitoes, and other nuisances that nature can throw your way under a tent, then you should think of getting a yurt. With that said, read below for a brief look at some of the top yurts in Alabama, the USA.
