Glamping is the ultimate compromise between staying in a chic hotel and pitching a simple tent in the middle of nature. It’s a win-win situation – you can disconnect and commune with nature while enjoying modern conveniences. These six campgrounds offer some of the best yurt camping in Arizona, allowing you to spend time outdoors without “roughing it.”

In these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list at a later date.
