Nuitée en Yourte - An Amazing Experience

Yurt holidays are a great opportunity for people who want a little additional luxury in their camping experience during nuitée en yourte. Dream up waking up refreshed: no sore back from constant stooping or sleeping on a cold, hard ground. Yurts are especially attractive if you are travelling with young children, camping in winter - or otherwise poor weather - or you’re just a “high-maintenance” camper that prefers not to rough it too much. 

The yurt is the classic habitat of Canada. Made to withstand uttermost weather, this circular shape dwelling has five basic elements: 

  • Lattice walls
  • Roof beams
  • A roof ring
  • A door and
  •  A felt and hide covering
Since the 13th century, yurts have been used by nomadic horse herders as handy or easily transported homes. You will enjoy a tremendous view of the night sky from the yurts! 

Fundy's yurts are a rejuvenated form of the classic yurt. They are comfortable and mild with protected and isolated walls and roof, and a propane stove. In the summer, the yurts are kept cool with windows, dome and door openings providing cross airing.

Two yurts are wheelchair-available.

Your agenda
  • Sleeping bags, blankets and cushion
  • Food, drinks and a water container (Campground water is drinkable)
  • Cooking accessories, dishes and a cooler
  • Slippers or indoor shoes - the first rule of keeping a clean yurt is to remove outdoor footwear
  • Match box or lighter to ignite fire in the cook shelter
What they provide

The campsite consists
  • Yurt (6 meters/ 20 feet in diameter) with a locking door
  • Deck
  • Picnic table
  • Deck armchair
  • Parking for one vehicle
An isolated and frenzied service building includes showers, bathrooms, clothes washer and dryer, sinks for dish washing.

A cook dwelling with wood stove and split firewood are located nearby. There are lockable cupboards in the shelter. Each cupboard is color collected to a certain yurt (example: green yurt = green locker).
