Cloudland Canyon State Park Yurt Village offers a distinctive glamping experience on Lookout Mountain's western edge, with a collection of furnished canvas structures featuring comfortable accommodations and modern amenities. These semi-permanent yurts provide a significant upgrade from traditional camping, with electricity, heating, and private outdoor spaces where guests can enjoy the natural surroundings. One visitor noted, "A lot is packed into a small space with so many creative touches," highlighting the efficient use of space that still delivers comfort. The park's yurt village sits within easy access to spectacular canyon views, waterfalls, and miles of hiking trails, making it an ideal base for exploring one of Georgia's most scenic state parks. Additional glamping options in the area include the Skyland Ridge Yurt Vacation Rental, which features full bathroom facilities with showers and toilets in a more private setting.
The surrounding area offers diverse recreational opportunities for glamping guests seeking both adventure and relaxation. Hiking trails lead to stunning waterfalls within Cloudland Canyon, including Cherokee Falls, which reviewers describe as "beautiful" and "worth the walk." Lookout Mountain provides panoramic views of the Tennessee Valley, with nearby attractions including Rock City and Ruby Falls just a short drive away near Chattanooga. According to a camper, "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Go to the website for more information on this and other options at this property." Wanderland Campground presents another glamping option with yurts set in a more rustic environment that still allows for comfortable overnight accommodations. Most glamping campsites in the Rising Fawn region remain open year-round, giving visitors flexibility across seasons, though some amenities may be limited during winter months.

ScoutA great find to hang your hat for the evening. New owners look like they are doing amazing up grades. Our site 57 didn’t have a picnic table or fire ring but I’m sure they are working on it. Fairly quite and we would for sure come back and give it a 5 star when their done on the remodel.
TravelerEnjoyable place to stay, quiet nights. Very chill atmosphere. Would recommend.
ScoutI was worried that I would arrive and find all the campsites occupied. This was not the case. When I got there around 5:30 there was only one other site taken. I didn’t see them until the next morning. By morning, there were two other sites occupied.
TravelerHard to find, really busy but most of them were hikers let left at nightfall.
GuideI was working near here and it was convenient place. So I drove through and it was very clean campsites are pretty good size . Fire pits, tables, etc. Bath house is clean and well maintained. I stayed 5 nights at site 16 by the bathrooms and my site had water electric. But all sites do. But mine had internet access being by the bathroom. Nice place. Lake beautiful also has boat access beach too swim at fishing deck. Highly recommended
ScoutExcellent campground! We were on the west rim. Bathrooms nearby and very clean! Sites were spaced enough you don’t feel like you’re on top of your neighbors. Lots of trees. Playground for kids was great and there’s tons of trails of varying difficulties. There’s a grill at each site so bring charcoal! Really enjoyed our weekend stay and would definitely go back!
GuideBeautiful views from the trails. I went during the summer in July so it was on the busier side. There is a lake with a beach with boat and paddle board rentals. Seemed like a great spot to fish. Prepare for possibilities of bears as they were around. One night I must have not fully secured my bear box and a bear found my cooler. I tent camped on a pad where I can find some service (T-Mobile) but most spots are spotty. Next time I come, I want to try the back country locations. Trails are awesome with a cool story about the place around the tower and fortification. Attendants at the camp store were really nice. If groceries are needed there is grocery stores in the nearest town of Chatsworth down the mountain
GuideWe had a hard time finding our campsite in the West Rim Campground due to the construction at the entrance, but we made it to the temporary visitors center and they got us checked in and how to get to our campsite. It backs up to woods, nice space between sites. Ours is gravel and has water and electric, but there are full hookup sites available as well. We did the waterfall hike one day and the west rim loop the next. The waterfalls were beautiful, but a LOT of steps (600+ metal steps) !! I would definitely stay here again
ScoutPeople are nice and it's a great place to put a rv and chill with nature
Cloudland Canyon State Park Yurt Village provides elevated glamping accommodations on ten wooden platforms arranged in a dedicated loop. The yurts measure 20 feet in diameter with canvas and wood construction, offering electricity and heating during cooler months. Each unit contains furniture including beds with mattresses, futons, tables, and chairs, allowing visitors to camp without extensive equipment. Outside, each yurt features a deck, picnic table, grill, and fire ring where guests can prepare meals and enjoy the surrounding forest.
Hiking the West Rim Trail: Set aside 3-4 hours to complete the 5-mile West Rim Trail loop, which offers panoramic views of the canyon. At Cloudland Canyon State Park, "the trails are moderate to strenuous because of elevation gain and roots/rocks," according to a camper, who adds that "the West Rim campground is VASTLY superior with tons of privacy, tree cover, great terraces at most sites."
Explore backcountry camping areas: For a more secluded experience, hike to one of the backcountry sites located 1-3 miles from parking areas. "One of my favorite campgrounds in Georgia is at Cloudland Canyon State Park. A small hike from the parking area, there's plenty of space in these woods for a quaint and quiet stay," notes a reviewer who appreciated that "our backcountry campground had a fire pit and even a picnic table, and was nestled beside a babbling brook."
Visit nearby attractions: Plan day trips to Chattanooga attractions just 30-45 minutes away. "Close to Cloudland Canyon & Lookout Mountain & Chattanooga! Clean facility and friendly staff," writes a visitor at Lookout Mountain-Chattanooga West KOA, adding "we wished we had more time! Could spend 4-5 days here and have a lot to do!"
Platform camping options: For those seeking alternatives to standard glamping in Rising Fawn, the park offers raised wooden platforms for tent camping. At Fort Mountain State Park, a similar platform setup impressed one camper who noted, "We chose Fort Mountain for the variety of camping options they had, specifically the platform sites. As one of our primary requirements for camping is privacy and a place our kids can run around without bothering anyone else, having a place slightly off the main road sounded perfect--and it was."
Walk-in site privacy: The secluded walk-in sites provide a more traditional camping experience with added privacy. A Cloudland Canyon visitor explained, "Love the tent-only serenity of the walk-in sites. There is a separate parking lot at the back of the park for the walk-in sites, which are a short distance away (easy to haul your gear). The sites have a tent pad, picnic table and fire ring, and lots of privacy as the sites are very far from each other."
Waterfront options nearby: Multiple campgrounds within 30-45 minutes offer lakeside camping. A visitor at Chester Frost Park enjoyed "beautiful views, waterfront sites, good fishing" and noted they were "staying on the lake front and watching the sun set."
Limited shower facilities: While glamping accommodations at Cloudland Canyon include access to bathhouses, these can get busy during peak seasons. "We were near the showerhouse which is newer, two showers, two sinks, three stalls, doors propped open, bugs flying about," reports one camper who also noted "there are laundry facilities in the same building."
