Thanks Suzi – I didn’t even think about yurts and cabins on federal land, but that’s a great idea.

The number of yurts and cabins in our national forests is growing. Didn’t see any posted on your state maps but they are there. I think Alaska’s Chugach and Tongass NFs have outstanding cabins but there are bunches available in the Lower 48. Just Google “National Forest Cabin Rentals” and you’ll see just how many. Yurts in our national forests, to my knowledge, are all concessionaire owned and operated and the majority are found in the Pacific Northwest. FYI: the prices are so incredibly reasonable in most cases.

Deb – I was surprised to find quite a few “yurt builders” on the web, in researching this article. They must be fairly popular and, I guess, much cheaper than building a cabin.

My husband and I love to camp in the traditional way, but we love yurts too. Steve has been talking about getting one for years to make into an art studio. Heck, we could live in one. I’ve seen some really amazing interiors.

Hybrid camping – there you go, Eric! That’s great that you finally got your wife to take a few trips with you and your son.
