A yurt is a circular tent-like structure. One of the oldest forms of shelter, yurts were used by nomadic ancient civilizations.

Why Is Yurt Camping Popular?

Yurt camping has increasingly grown in popularity in recent years. Alpha Camp names some of the reasons for that.

• The round shape of the living space means less surface area is exposed to the outside temperatures.
• Yurts provide less wind resistance as the wind moves around the curved edges rather than catching on straight sides.
