Looking to get away for a weekend? This beautiful campground in Massachusetts is the perfect natural destination. Best of all, it boasts some truly unique accommodations – real yurts! Here’s why you should check out this magical camping spot.
Otter River State Forest campground is a popular spot for Massachusetts campers and explorers from further afield. It has all the makings of a magical natural retreat.
Featuring sky-high trees, swimming spots, and plenty of space to spread out, Otter River State Forest is a true gem. It’s also one of the few places in Massachusetts where you can rent a yurt!
Yurts can hold more people than a standard tent. You don’t have to deal with setting up or dismantling a tent, and they’re far more waterproof than your basic camping tent.
Plus, unlike in a cabin, you can still hear the gentle patter of rain and the sounds of the outdoors. The large yurts at Otter River are just $55 per night for Massachusetts residents. Smaller yurts are $45 per night.
Before settling in for the night, head out into the woods to enjoy hiking, hunting, biking, fishing, and cross-country skiing opportunities. You should also remember to bring your bathing suit for a quick dip in the campground’s pond.
