About
Three canvas-sided yurts at the Barretts Pond Area of Myles Standish State Forest, each accommodating four to six people with bunk beds, a table, and chairs, and all three with access to water - though only two of the three have electricity (the park's own page doesn't say which one lacks it). Smoking isn't allowed in the yurts. Two of the three (Yurt A and Yurt B) are wheelchair accessible; the third (Yurt C) isn't. Bathroom facilities with showers and flush toilets are shared with the main campground's camping loops. 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.
