State Park - Yurts
Back to State Parks
Yurts-  Imagine
sitting with friends inside a backcountry yurt as snow falls outside
your circular tent, drifting lazily past windows rimmed with frost
from the cold outside your warm canvas walls. Or, waking to a warm
summer morning inside your yurt as a cool summer’s breeze flows gently
through your yurt’s large screen windows. Yurts, reminiscent of
tents used by nomads on the steppes of Mongolia and Siberia, are round
tents on a wooden frame with circular skylights and windows to provide
illumination.
Colorado State Parks offers a variety of yurts designed to
accommodate the casual camper or backcountry traveler. Yurts are available
year-round at select sites.
Yurts are currently available at State Forest State Park, Ridgway
State Park, Pearl Lake, Golden Gate Canyon and Mancos State Park.
Golden Gate Canyon State Park has two yurts located in Reverend's
Ridge campground that offer the perfect escape from Denver among aspen
groves and pine covered hills. Both yurts sleep a maximum of six people.
The yurts are equipped with two bunk beds, one twin-size and one double-size.
Visit Golden Gate Canyon State Park for more information.
State Forest, the largest of Colorado’s state parks, offers
five yurts scattered throughout the park that blend with the rugged
landscape. With names like Ruby Jewel, North Fork Canadian and Grass
Creek, adventurous travelers will find accommodations tailored for
their needs, whether it’s a relaxing weekend outing with the family
or a challenging journey into the winter backcountry. For more information
or to make reservations in State Forest State Park contact Never Summer
Nordic at (970) 482-9411 or visit their website at www.neversummernordic.com.
Visit State Forest State Park for more information.
Ridgway has three yurts located on the Dutch Charlie site that
will keep guests cool in the summer with three large screened windows
and a ceiling fan. In the wintertime, insulated walls and a propane/gas
log fireplace, shelter guests from cold winter winds while they revel
in winter in the Rockies, nestled beneath the towering San Juan Mountains.
As with all yurts in Colorado State Parks, you’ll need to bring your
own bedding. Pets are allowed in yurt #14 only, and an additional
$10 pet fee is required. Visit Ridgway State Park for more information.
Mancos has two yurts located at sites 22 and 24 that are available
for rent year-round by reservation or on a first-come, first-served
basis. Both yurts at Mancos have a wooden lattice wall and ceiling.
They are nicely complemented with a wooden door, pinewood floors,
a ceiling light/fan and a screened skylight in the center of the domed
roof. Three large screened windows, a skylight and a ceiling fan keep
these ultra-modern tents cool and comfortable in the summer, while
the insulated walls and propane heater/gas-log fireplace keep them
warm and cozy in the winter. Visit Mancos State Park for more information.
Pearl Lake has two yurts availalbe year-round by reservation.
Both yurts require a two night minimum stay. Each yurts is furnished
with a picnic table, four deck chairs, and two sets of bunk beds with
the lower bunk being a double sized futon. Just off each deck is a
picnic table and fire ring. You will need to bring your own bedding
such as sleeping bags or sheets, blankets and pillows. During the
summer, visitors can enjoy all the facilities Pearl Lake and nearby
Steamboat Lake offer. Winter offers a completely different experience,
as the yurts are accessible only by snowshoe, ski or snowmobile. Visit
Pearl Lake State Park for more information.
