Hanging out in the fresh air isn’t exactly everyone’s cup of campfire-infused tea (although they can enjoy this tea if served in one of the best camping mugs out there). Fortunately, thanks to the growing popularity of glamping destinations and upscale wilderness wonderland experiences that include exquisite bathrooms, chef-prepared s’mores and other enjoyable amenities, more and more people are coming into contact with their “inner campersâ€. “There is also another form of camping that is suitable for the non-outdoor setting: camping in a yurt.
What is yurt camping, you ask? Yurts are basically portable outdoor structures that look like huge round tents. They were originally used by nomadic groups in Asia. The word “yurt†translates to “home†in Mongolian, which makes it a much more inviting and comforting place to be when you are setting up a home on your next family camping trip. (Let’s face it. If you’re a glamping fan, car camping might not meet your standards.)
And good news! Some of the best locations for yurts include campsites in Georgia, Oregon, California, Colorado, Texas, etc. Pack your bags and get ready to hit the road, as each place is beautiful and offers all kinds of ways to be one with nature the way you want. Discover our choices of places where you should say “yes” to the yurt.
