Wondering about yurts for rent in Minnesota? Camping is fun, but it can be a lot of work what with setting up tents, blowing up air mattresses, maintaining coolers, gathering firewood, and starting fires. It can all add up, turning what was meant to be a relaxing trip into seemingly endless amounts of work. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to cut down on the work required of camping but still have a similar experience. One of our favorite ways is by glamping in Minnesota.
