Best Yurt Camping in Wisconsin-The Ultimate Glamping Experience!
Do you love spending time in mother nature but don’t love packing all that gear? Maybe you want to spend more time outdoors but the thought of sleeping on an air mattress doesn’t sound like your idea of a Friday night? You don’t have to halt the adventure just because tenting doesn’t appeal to you! Luckily for you, glamping has been increasing in popularity since the mid-2000s, and Wildman Adventure Resort can provide you with the ultimate glamping experience- a weekend spent in a Pacific Yurt.
What is Yurt Camping and this thing called “Glamping”?
The Pacific Yurt is an adaptation of the shelters used by Central Asian nomads for centuries, “Yurt” in Mongolian actually means “home”. Yurts have gained popularity in recent years as an alternative to tent camping because it offers a perfect balance between rugged and comfortable… plus it’s fun! There is something to be said about the novelty of sleeping in a circular dome.
Now, what about glamping? It was officially added to the oxford dictionary in 2016 and is a mash-up of “glamorous and camping”. The official definition is “a form of camping involving accommodation and facilities more luxurious than those associated with traditional camping.”
Yurt camping combines the traditional conveniences and comforts of staying in a cabin with the scenery and serenity you could once only get from tent camping in the woods.
Wildman Adventure Resort is the most diverse Outdoor Resort in the Midwest, a place where you can conquer your fears or find a spark for a new hobby. The novelty of staying in a yurt has brought many travelers from far and wide to check it off their bucket list. With the growing popularity of Yurts, you can find them more commonly than in previous years, so why choose ours?
What can you expect from a Yurt Camping weekend at Wildman?
Imagine this for a moment:
You’re stargazing through the skylight as you fall asleep to the soothing sound of the creek that moves trickling water underneath you.
You spent the night sitting around the fire roasting marshmallows, listening to your friends tell stories, while the faint sound of the rapids roared in the background.
As a guest of Wildman Adventure Resort, you spent the day adventuring. Maybe you went on a Stand Up Paddle Board Tour and spent the afternoon paddling through breathtaking scenery. You tried your hand at some paddleboard yoga, cooled off with a dip in the lake, and then let the wind gently push you while you sunbathed on your board. This was a well-deserved, relaxing afternoon after you spent the morning rafting the Peshtigo River, learning how to paddle and steer your own boat through the longest stretch of white water in the Midwest!
