Pittsylvania County Is Getting Its First Glamping Resort

Host Lisa Rowan sits down with Cardinal News reporter Grace Mamon to explore Echo Valley, a new micro resort coming to Pittsylvania County that’s bringing glamping — glamorous camping — to southern Virginia. The resort will feature dome-style units, walking trails, spa amenities, yoga retreats, and farm-to-table meals, all tucked into a wooded property that’s been in the same family for over a century.They also unpack why tourism is booming in the Danville region, how Echo Valley navigated rezoning hurdles, and what residents had to say about traffic, land use, and growth. It’s a story about rural innovation, changing travel habits, and how small-scale development is reshaping local economies — one dome at a time.
