13. Deluxe yurt on the top of a hill in Orderville (from USD 138)
The given accommodation is an extension of the previous property (Zion Resort), thus, the retreat amenities such as community pool, hot tub, tree houses, fire pit, etc will be the same. Even the size of this yurt is identical to the earlier one, but the features are not exactly the same. While the last tent could accommodate more guests, this yurt shows a couple more facilities. This cabin will provide a refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a few more kitchen supplies.

15. Summer camp-like glamping space in Virgin
Glamping is a popular alternative to the standard camping because it doesn’t require you to be away from your routine comforts. And if you do not mind people’s company, we can offer a yurt deal that matches up with your summer camp memories. Being stationed in the town of Leeds, you will find this bell tent retreat at an RV park. The host hasn’t offered television here and you wouldn’t need it anyway. Instead, it’s better to be friends with fellow yurt renters and roast marshmallows on the bonfire with them. By the way, you get to utilize the WiFi, coin-operated washing machine, microwave, and several other community features.
