Hungry Mother State Park Yurts

About

Hungry Mother State Park's yurt camping provides a unique lodging experience in Virginia's Blue Ridge Highlands. The three yurts serve as a cross between tent and cabin camping, offering shelter with furnished interiors including a sofa, chairs, coffee table, and dining table seating four. Each yurt accommodates up to four people and sleeps three with a queen bed and twin trundle pull-out. The large wooden decks provide outdoor living space with a picnic table and fire ring with cooking grate. The two Camp Burson yurts operate from the first Monday in March through the first Sunday in December and have nearby access to electrical pedestals and water hydrants. The Royal Oak yurt runs April 1 through October 31 with no utilities at the site. None of the yurts have interior electricity, water, lighting, heat, or air conditioning, so guests should bring sleeping bags or linens and prepare accordingly. Yurt 2 in Camp Burson is universally accessible. Guests use the nearby campground bathhouses featuring flush toilets, seasonal showers, and laundry facilities. The park offers a camp store at Camp Burson open daily Memorial Day through Labor Day and weekends through October. Hungry Mother Lake provides swimming, fishing, and boat rentals, with hiking trails throughout the 2,530-acre park.
