Take your camping adventures to a whole new level with "glamour camping" yurts. No need to pitch a tent; just check in to your furnished yurt. After toasting s’mores over a crackling campfire, retreat inside to bunks and futons. Mornings can be spent sipping coffee on your private porch, and hot showers are just a short walk away. You’ll find yurt villages at Cloudland Canyon, Red Top Mountain, High Falls, Fort Yargo, Tugaloo and Sweetwater Creek state parks. Some even have canoe and kayak rental right inside the yurt village.

Home to several thousand people from 1000 A.D. to 1550 A.D., Etowah Indian Mounds (Cartersville) is the most intact Mississippian Culture site in the Southeast. Visitors can climb to the top of the tallest mound, imagining life below more than 1,000 years ago. The site protects six earthen mounds, a plaza, village site, borrow pits and defensive ditch. A museum filled with artifacts, plus a riverside nature trail, are also available. Beginning March 31, this historic site will be open Tuesday through Sunday.

If big-name tournaments have you dreaming of a golf getaway, check out the courses found in Georgia’s State Parks. Eight courses offer challenging play at an affordable rate, plus pro shops, lessons and overnight packages. Statewide passes and memberships are available as well. And if you’re looking for a place to stay near Augusta this month, you can choose from cabins and campsites at several Georgia State Parks.
