    Natural Tunnel State Park houses upscale glamping accommodations including yurts that combine the wilderness experience with modern comforts. Located near the Virginia-Kentucky border about an hour from Cumberland, these canvas structures feature queen beds, trundle beds, comfortable seating areas, and private decks with rocking chairs overlooking the woodland setting. The park's glamping campgrounds maintain a rustic feel while providing amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, and access to clean bathhouse facilities. Breaks Interstate Park also offers glamping accommodations within driving distance of Cumberland, providing visitors with unique overnight options in the Appalachian mountain setting. One reviewer highlighted, "This is the first time I have stayed in a yurt, and it was definitely a learning experience. It had a queen bed and a trundle bed, a couch, side tables, and a dining table inside with a pleasant appearance."

    Glamping guests at Natural Tunnel State Park enjoy direct access to the park's namesake geological wonder, a massive natural tunnel carved through the mountain that can be viewed via hiking trails or the seasonal chairlift. The surrounding area features multiple hiking paths, a swimming complex, ranger-led programs, and educational activities about the region's natural history. Kingdom Come State Park provides another glamping option with picturesque mountain views and outdoor recreation opportunities including fishing in the regularly stocked lake and hiking trails leading to spectacular vistas like Raven Rock. According to a camper, "The views from the outlooks at the top of the road are amazing. There is a lake for swimming, and plenty of trails." Most canvas accommodations in the region remain open from spring through fall, with specific availability varying by location.

      Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!

      We camped in pull-thru A43. The site is decently level and spacious. The other campers were very friendly. The bath house was modern and clean.

      There was so much to do here! We ventured out to most of the overlooks; the views were breathtaking! There were plenty of hiking opportunities on trails from easy to difficult. Kayaks also were available for rent.

      There is a hotel in the park, but it's far enough from the campgrounds (A, B, C, and D) that the guests don't bother the campers.

      I can't imagine how glorious this place must be in the fall!

      Small

      Campground is not big which is a plus. Couple miles off the highway so not a lot of traffic noise. Camp store is fully stocked. However the food at the snack shack not so good. Playground and pool are very small compared to other KOA properties. A lot of full time campers which is not a bad thing but leaves very little room for folks just passing through.

      Rocky Top Campground & RV Park

      Long term stay

      I stayed long term while working in the area, including through the winter months, and loved the propane delivery. Coming home to a full tank already dropped at my site was such a nice perk.

      It’s a beautiful, peaceful little campground tucked into the mountains and you can tell a lot of care goes into it. It’s not a parking lot like other places I’ve stayed the sites are tiered on the mountainside but level and large. Staff is friendly, they have a game room and laundry room and the store sells cold beer! It was a nice home away from home while working in town

      Nice people. Nice lot. Nice bath house

      Stoping here for one night for a road trip. People were very curious about our set up. One of the workers was our neighbor and helped more than we needed, however he was great and we were very thankful. Pulled in kinda late. Helped us start a fire and kept it going with some fun tools. We do a lot of dispersed camping in RMNP and like to take our time with things. He was great to speed up our set up so we could relax. Talked with him about an hour. The grounds kept well. No issue. Bath house was good. Only improvement would be AC(if you care about that) But not needed. Fun activities to do aswell; driving range. Basket ball. Pool. Big slide(Saturday 11-noon). Super friendly staff.

      Rocky Top Campground & RV Park

      Loud construction, neverending leaf blowing, not restful

      The campground itself was good. Bathhouse was clean-ish. The one shower stall smelled quite moldy/mildewy. Not a lot of amenities. We stayed a week and all days during the week - Monday through Friday, there was construction literally right beside our RV. Constant leaf blowing. I understand that they are doing improvements, that is great. A head's up about it, possible option to stay at another site, a noise discount, or at least letting us know, so we could make a choice, would have been nice. Would never stay here again.

      Fall trip

      Beautiful campground, site can be a little small. We stayed in the C loop so we never used the bath house or anything. The camp hosts and staff were amazing and lots of help.

      Breaks Interstate Park Campground

      Great spot for nature lovers

      This is a very well maintained park, with many hiking and overlook opportunities.  White tail deer are frequent, and very tame.  Bathrooms are clean and well maintained.  Lots of hot water and water pressure in the showers.  There is a pool and waterpark on site, and a gift shop and camp store.  Was disappointed that the Visitor Center was only open on the weekend (and it was still prior to Labor Day).  Staff was helpful and friendly, although there was no camp host on site on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday nights.

    Guide to Cumberland

    Kentucky River valley terrain frames the glamping options surrounding Cumberland, Kentucky. The region provides yurt camping at elevations ranging from 1,200 to 3,000 feet, with dense forest coverage influencing night temperatures even in summer months. Campgrounds in this region typically maintain operation from April through November, with most yurt facilities closing during winter.

    What to do

    **Fishing opportunities: **At Kingdom Come State Park, visitors can fish in the regularly stocked lake near the camping area. "I've been camping at this state park since the early 2000's and am pleased to say not much has changed... If you like fishing there is a small lake which is regularly stocked with Trout. Bass, Blue Gill, Sunfish, and a few others. It's just a short walk from the campsites," notes Brian B. at Kingdom Come State Park Campground.

    Hiking trails: Multiple hiking paths are available within a 30-minute drive of Cumberland. "The surrounding mountains provide many short hikes that can be easily strung together to make for a longer trek if desired," explains Sarah at Kingdom Come State Park. At Breaks Interstate Park, hiking trails are abundant. "Wonderful park for pretty much everything from zip line to water park, and to some of the most gorgeous trails in the region," notes paul C.

    Water recreation: Trace Branch at Buckhorn Lake offers water activities within an hour's drive. "This campground is a hidden gem. It's in the hills, far off the beaten path, and half of the campsites are right on the water. In addition to campsites, the park has picnic areas, bathrooms, showers, a playground, and a boat ramp," reports Damon O. at Trace Branch - Buckhorn Lake.

    What campers like

    Bear sightings: Wildlife viewing opportunities exist throughout the Cumberland area. At Kingdom Come State Park, Grant M. reports, "We saw a bear across the valley, so take the warnings seriously and follow the instructions." Another camper, Jess B., notes, "I saw more bears while at this park then any other time. But it was never scary because they were always far away."

    Natural formations: Natural Tunnel State Park Campground features a unique geological formation. "We were able to hike a couple of trails and see the natural tunnel," writes Myron C. Rob J. adds, "Canoed Clinch River, caved in the park, and took a short guided hike through Stock Creek to backside of tunnel."

    Solitude: Many campgrounds in the area offer quieter camping experiences. "This campground in the Kingdom Come State Park has about 6 or 7 sites, and they are primitive with no running water, but good pads, picnic tables, food hangers, shade from trees, and fire rings... I've camped there twice and only saw one other camper," says Paul H. about Kingdom Come State Park.

    What you should know

    Road conditions: Access to some campgrounds requires careful driving. For Trace Branch, one camper warns, "DO NOT TAKE 'PLEASANT VALLEY RD' into the campgrounds! That road takes you on a single lane road and if you meet another vehicle, someone will have to backup. The road is extremely washed out and huge chunks are gone. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!" Similarly, at Kingdom Come State Park, Grant M. cautions, "The road in from Cumberland is STEEP! We made it una mini van pulling a scamp, so you'll probably be fine."
