About
Six yurts at Loraine Campground, each labeled a "small" yurt on the park's own live site map with a confirmed 15-amp electric hookup. None of the six are wheelchair accessible. The park's own materials don't describe yurt-specific bedding, capacity, or bathroom details beyond the shared campground's flush-toilet and shower comfort stations (two of which are accessible). Pets aren't allowed in Massachusetts DCR yurts or cabins statewide, even at parks where regular campsites allow pets.
Fees
The park's own live fee notice lists only its general campsite rate ($17/night MA resident, $54 non-resident, plus $6 for sites with electricity), with no separate yurt rate - confirm the actual rate when you check availability. A $4.50 non-refundable reservation fee applies per booking, per Massachusetts DCR's statewide camping reservation policy.
This campground's live 2026 booking calendar runs early May through late October.
