Want to go “glamping” but don’t want to do the setup yourself? Your outdoor suite awaits at Buccaneer State Park in Waveland.

The state’s Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks has partnered with Tentrr to offer 56 outfitted campsites at eight of Mississippi’s state parks.

Six sites are now available for rent at Buccaneer, WXXV-TV reported.

Tentrr’s campsites are made for “less roughing it and more enjoying it,” according to a news release from the DWFP.

Each site includes canvas wall tents with a bed, Adirondack chairs, a fire pit, benches and a propane heater.

Travelers can book a Tentrr site at Buccaneer starting at $85 per night. Double sites are also available starting at $139.

The single locations sleep up to six people, and the double sites — also known as buddy sites — sleep up to 12.

You can reserve and rent spots online through Tentrr.
