Camping in Style - Part 2

Falling Waters

BRYSON CITY, NORTH CAROLINA


It's hard to beat the price of the canvas yurts at this mountain resort adjacent to the Nantahala Gorge, a white-water rafting and hiking mecca in western North Carolina. WCs are communal, but each of the eight units features a queen-size bed, a ceiling fan, a stereo, a coffeemaker, and French doors that open onto a deck. You also get a barbecue grill and a hammock perfectly poised for napping under the trees. ($89.10 per night, for up to four — there's a bonus futon; fallingwatersresort.com)

Luana Spa Retreat

HANA, HAWAII


With its gorgeous views and authentic island charm, this cozy yurt may be the best value on Maui. In addition to a comfy double bed topped with a Hawaiian quilt, there's a small kitchen, propane grill, private bathhouse with outdoor shower, and breezy thatched hut where massages can be scheduled. ($150 per double; luanaspa.com)



Fossil Rim

GLEN ROSE, TEXAS


Bring your binoculars! Shaded by live oaks, the seven spacious tents at this 1,700-acre nonprofit wildlife preserve overlook a watering hole popular with waterbuck, antelope, and gazelles. Also, don't miss the nine-and-a-half-mile driving tour of the facility, where you're likely to see zebras, giraffes, and rare and endangered animals, including white rhinos. ($225 per double, full breakfast and driving tour included; fossilrim.org)

Costanoa

PESCADERO, CALIFORNIA


You may be sleeping in a tent, but you'd never know it at this eco-resort, which sits close enough to the Pacific that guests can hear waves crashing on the beach at night. Each of the 75 canvas bungalows boasts a bed decked out with a heated mattress pad and down bedding — plus Wi-Fi, electric lights, fluffy towels and bathrobes, toiletries, and daily maid service! Bathrooms, alas, must be shared, but they do feature indoor and outdoor showers, a sauna, heated floors, and an outdoor fireplace. After you've settled in, take the mile-long path that leads from the resort to a secluded beach below, or sign up for one of Costanoa's nature hikes, yoga classes, or massages. To explore further afield, schedule a kayak excursion, shop the farmers' market in nearby Santa Cruz, or visit the Pigeon Point Lighthouse. ($95 per double; costanoa.com)
