Experience Minnesota Camping in Yurts & Cabin Tents

Adventure is a part of Minnesota life. Traveling around our beautiful state and seeing the forests, waterfalls, lakes, and trails is an adventurer’s dream. People who travel the state know how it works. They go swimming, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, camping, hiking, and biking. They love to spend their nights under the stars by one of 10,000 lakes. While we talk about camping, it is an adventure sport in which you spend your nights away from home under the tents or yurts in some faraway forests. Nature and its serenity in these places bring calmness to mind and heal the physical wounds faster.

Yurts and Camper Cabins and their importance in the tourism industry

Yurts have been a reasonably new addition to the tourism industry. Yurts are insulated canvas camps with wooden flooring and wood stoves. People who cannot sleep on the floor can use this camping innovation during their camping expeditions. Each yurt has a window, bunk beds, a domed roof used during snowfall, a bed, and a table. The dimensions of the average yurt are 16 to 20 feet in diameter. It can accommodate 7 to 8 people. Yurts in the state parks do not have electricity or showers.

True North Basecamp Cabin Tents includes two twin beds and room for extra costs that can be rented. The exterior includes a picnic table and fire ring with a cooking grate. There are also modern showers with conditioned water within a short walk of each cabin tent. Cabin Tents cost $69 nightly Sunday to Thursday and $99 Friday and Saturday. Book yours at this link.

Three state parks in Minnesota offer yurts during the tourism season. These parks include Afton state park in Afton offers two yurts, while the Glendalough State park also provides two yurt camps. Cuyuna Country State Recreation Park also offers three yurt camps.

You can have great camping in the middle of all the facilities. A night under the stars and the shining skies can be thoroughly enjoyed with the yurts. You can have a trip full of amusements, luxuries, and passions.

Minnesota is a state where you can always find the perfect spot to enjoy a nice camping trip. The state is full of options, and yurts are located everywhere. Yurts have a more remote feeling than cabins, as they are far away from the roads and trails. You can only get there by hiking, biking, or canoeing. It would help if you had a sleeping bag and a flashlight, and you are good to go.
