Futons inside yurtYurts are round stationary structures with canvas walls that feature: a single and double bed bunked together, a double bed size futon, an outdoor seating area, and outdoor deck. Yurts are a fun and easy alternative to pitching a tent yourself, but still allow you to experience the rustic feel of camping outdoors. Perfect for the new camper! Maximum 5 people per yurt.

The yurts are available March 1 through November 30, with a maximum stay of two consecutive weeks. Weekend reservations must include two nights -- Friday and Saturday, OR Saturday and Sunday. All other times of the year, yurts may be rented for any number of nights up to 14 days. Reservations are accepted up to 7 months prior to the date of arrival.

Since animals are not allowed in yurts, guests should leave their pets at home.
