A famous travel destination known for agriculture, South Dakota is a state blessed with natural wonders. It offers tourists a long list of activities to do, especially outdoors. You cannot leave the state without visiting Mount Rushmore, where you will see the heads of four former presidents—Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln—sculpted wonderfully on the side of the mountain. Badlands National Park will amaze you when you witness the beautiful formations of hills and mountaintops created from the washing away of sand and clay. You can spend a day in Custer State Park, where you will see plenty of wildlife, lovely streams, crystal clear lakes, majestic granite peaks, and lush green forests. What better way to enjoy the outdoors than by staying in tent accommodations? Keep reading to know the top yurts in South Dakota, USA.
