Lodging
Yurts and Huts
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. Huts are minimal shelters accessed by off-road-capable vehicles, or hikers in the summer and skiers in the winter. Yurts and huts are available year-round. All yurts and huts require a minimum two night stay.

Golden Gate Canyon State Park
Golden, Colorado
Yurts among aspen groves and pine-covered hills offer the perfect escape from the city. Yurts offer rustic accommodations perfect for someone who wants to be close to nature year-round and have a heater, electrical outlets, table and chairs, and beds for six people.
Mancos State Park
Mancos, Colorado
Yurts at Mancos have a wooden lattice wall and ceiling, complemented by 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 yurts cool and comfortable in the summer, while the insulated walls and propane heater/gas-log fireplace keep them warm and cozy in the winter.
Pearl Lake State Park
Clark, Colorado
Leave your tent at home and stay in one of the yurts available for reservations year-round at Pearl Lake State Park. Yurts have electric heat and power, beds, and a table and chairs. Outside there is a picnic table and fire ring. Winter offers an exceptionally remote experience with trees and yurts covered in snow and only accessible by snowshoe, ski or snowmobile.
Ridgway State Park
Ridgway, Colorado
Architectural Digest magazine considers these round, tent-like structures to be architectural wonders. Warm in winter and cool in summer, they’re a great way to camp without having to "set up." The Ridgway yurts offer stunning views of the surrounding peaks through all four seasons.
State Forest State Park
Walden, Colorado
The yurts and hut at State Forest State Park offer you the perfect home base for adventure! From hiking to stargazing to backcountry skiing on pristine alpine bowls, there is no shortage of fun to be had just outside your door. Access varies from drive up in the summer to a several mile snowshoe or cross-country ski-in during the winter. All yurts and the hut come with heat, cooking supplies and an outhouse, but don't have running water or electricity.
Sylvan Lake State Park
Eagle, Colorado
Nine miles away from the main campground, the yurts at Sylvan Lake offer peaceful seclusion among the aspens. They offer rustic accommodations with heat, solar lighting and pit toilets, and are close to stream fishing, hiking and wildlife viewing.
Pet-friendly Yurts
Traveling with your furry best friend? Many parks offer accommodations including yurts, cabins and campsites that allow pets. Be a responsible pet guardian: Pets must be kept on a six-foot lead and be immediately cleaned up after.
Dogs
Many yurts offer pet-friendly accommodations for a small fee. Visit the park reservations webpage for more information.
