Camping in a yurt is an amazing experience. These huge, permanent tents have everything you need for the ultimate camping trip, and luckily for us North Dakotans, many of our state parks have them. The state park with the most, however, is Cross Ranch State Park, and they practically have a yurt village. Check it out:

North Dakota's Cross Ranch State Park is located near the town of Hensler and is on one of the last sections of free-flowing, untouched parts of the Missouri River.
