Yurts, traditional Mongolian homes, are large, comfortable, canvas-walled, wood-floored tents. Yurt-camping has become popular in North America.
Nickerson State Park, in southeastern Massachusetts, offers yurt-camping. You can stay in a comfortable four-person yurt, complete with beds, indoor lighting, dining table and outdoor deck for just $30 a night ($210 a week). Campers need to bring their own bedding, camp stove and cooking gear.
An 8-mile bike path connects Nickerson State Park with the Cape Cod Rail Trail, making the park an excellent choice for cycling couples looking for a cheap romantic getaway. Showers, washrooms, swimming, canoeing and hiking are available. Water can be found just outside the yurt.
