RE:does anyone have any experience with yurts?

I've only encountered yurts once while I was working. There was a proposal for a yurt community on an outlying island off California, Catalina Island, that wanted to construct quite a few yurts with dirt roads and limited access and firefighting water system. We tried to make it work for them but in the end, they weren't willing to budge on some of the safety aspects we wanted and we weren't budging as well.

I'd like to stay in a yurt. Some of them are actually quite nice with all the amenities, yet still somewhat like camping but more glamping! There is a small naturist place in Hawaii that has a couple of yurts as accommodations. We've not stayed there but good friends have and they stated the yurt was quite comfortable.

surprisingly, there is a fair amt of info on the web, but not a lot of commercial builders.
it seems reasonable to go the way of the yurt instead of a park model, if looking for a recreational leased site.

There is a state park here in central MO that has hurts for camping. I'll put the on to here when I find the name of the park.

We had a couples massage in a yurt at a resort here. A young friend of mine built some on a farm for students to live in. That was the first time I heard of them.

Hangin' Loose, Keaau, Hawaii (Big Island). We've not visited but close friends did and had a nice time and enjoyed the yurt.

thanks for the pic - wife says that yurt interior looks quite civilized. I like the attached party deck.

Those look pretty cool. I would pay extra to be in that over a park model at a resort. Also seems More naturist.
