What is a yurt?

A yurt is a circular, tent-like structure. Yurts were one of the oldest forms of housing and were used by nomadic civilizations of antiquity.

Why is yurt camping popular?

Yurt camping has become increasingly popular in recent years. Alpha Camp gives a few reasons for this.

• Yurts offer less wind resistance because the wind flows around the curved edges and does not get caught on straight sides.
