Self-care o’clock: 7 R&R getaways from Atlanta during Labor Day weekend

For non-resort types who just prefer relaxing in nature, elevate your camping experience by glamping in a yurt. If that sounds like a totally different language, let’s break it down: A yurt is a mixture of a hut and a tent and is made of wood and canvas. The word “yurt” hails from the Turkic languages, due to yurts being used primarily by nomadic tribes of Central Asia. You can find yurts at various Georgia State Parks, including Cloudland Canyon State Park, Red Top Mountain State Park, High Falls State Park and more.
