The mountain range that is the Black Hills stretches from South Dakota to Wyoming, boasting the infamous Mount Rushmore. The area used to be a hunting ground for the Western Sioux Indians, but now it serves as a paradise for those who love exploring the outdoors. While in this mountain region, you can explore two of the world’s longest cave systems - Jewel Cave National Monument and Wind Cave National Park. You are also welcome to hike some of its 75 different trails. For more, have fun horseback riding, driving an ATV, snowmobiling, or mountain biking in the area. Whatever you plan on doing, a trip here is sure to be an adventurous and nature-filled one. To enjoy more of the outdoors, book a tent instead of a hotel room or a holiday home. Keep scrolling for the top yurts in Black Hills, USA.

1. Snowkitty Yurt (from USD 129)

You’ll get to enjoy the wonders of the outdoors while staying in Snowkitty Yurt, which is situated along Mickelson Trail. The accommodation features a large space that can accommodate six guests with a double bed, a single bed, a couch, and a floor mattress. It comes with an outhouse bathroom as well. For making easy meals, a wood stove is provided.

Something to take note of is that the tent has no running water, so you’ll have to manually use the spring pump or take a dip in the nearby stream. There is also no electricity here, but with the abounding nature the yurt is surrounded by, you are sure to keep occupied anyway.
