Why Is Yurt Camping Popular?
Yurt camping has increasingly grown in popularity in recent years. Alpha Camp names some of the reasons for that.

- The round shape of the living space means less surface area is exposed to the outside temperatures.
- Yurts provide less wind resistance as the wind moves around the curved edges rather than catching on straight sides.
