Camping in the North Dakota winter? Unless you count sitting out in an ice house camping, it’s not a thing many people do or would even consider. But there are ways to camp comfortably during the frigid cold of this season in the Peace Garden State – and it’s better than you could ever imagine. You won’t need to bundle up too much to be able to enjoy this unusual yet luxury-style “glamping” at one of the state’s beautiful state parks. Take a look:
Even in the chill of winter, North Dakota’s Fort Ransom State Park has two unusual yet awesome yurts available for reservation. This is a camping experience like no other.

Each yurt is like its own mini cabin, despite being essentially a large tent. They are heated and furnished to be extra cozy.

They even have full kitchens and bathrooms. With two bedrooms and a loft that can sleep up to six people, this is perfect for “glamping,” or glamorous camping, any time of the year.

While staying in one of these yurts, you can head out onto the park’s trails with snowshoes - available for use there - or cross-country skis. Fort Ransom State Park is a beautiful place year round where you can explore the picturesque river and surrounding valley.

After spending time out in the bitter cold, head inside the yurt to warm up by the fire and relax. It doesn’t get more luxurious in camping than this!

This place will clear your thoughts and make you feel a million miles away from it all even though it’s right here in North Dakota.
