Yurt Life

Who needs to glamp up their camping experience? The heat and humidity of Florida is intense but that didn’t stop us from camping in style. This camping trip we upgraded to #yurtlife. Three years ago we found this yurt at Torreya State Park just a short drive from Pensacola!! It’s a little hidden gem tucked away in panhandle of Florida. There was maybe a handful of other campers and oh a few critters. The camp hosts were welcoming and loads of fun to visit and the bathrooms super clean. The Yurt came with air-conditioning, two queen size bed and a twin bunked. Plus it had a table with 4 chairs. outside it had water, an electric prep area and adorable seating next to the campfire. Plus the must have picnic table. At $40 a night, it’s a great deal! For day trips we traveled to Falling Waters State Park and the Florida Caverns. Only an hour away is Tallahassee with a ton to do, as well. On our way to the park we also stopped by the springs for a cold, refreshing dip!!

Our must have YURT packing list:

To keep the bugs at bay: Meet the Bug-A-Salt, the Bug thing and our screened in porch.

The bug-a-salt lives up to its name. Flies, bees, cockroaches have all been zapped by this salt shot gun.

The Bug Thing, yes it totally looks gimmicky but it helps pull the sting away from the bite. With Fl fire ants and an evil stinging Caterpillar Cayden found, it has helped.

The Screened in Porch. The bees are buzzing around me as are the flies but I can cook in peace. Thank goodness! Plus it rained last night but the table was dry!
