About
Four canvas-sided yurts at Wells State Park, each accommodating four to six people with bunk beds, a table, and chairs, plus access to water and electricity (the park notes electrical service isn't reliable enough for medical equipment). All four are wheelchair accessible. There's no dumping station at this park. Bring your own linens and cooking gear. 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), with no separate cabin/yurt rate - confirm the actual rate when you check availability and select dates. 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 mid-October.
