Oregon Coast Yurts
There are some very cool yurts in Oregon, some are in a state park and some are owned privately. We’ve given you a mix of both below depending on your yurt needs! The state parks tend to be a bit more simple and the privately-owned yurts definitely have a few extra luxuries.
We have them split up from North to Central to South along the coast for you and included all the links you need for booking your stay.
North Oregon Coast Yurts
1. Fort Stevens State Park
Fort Stevens State Park really does have it all, including hiking, swimming, a huge sandy beach, and several historical attractions, making it the perfect place to set up camp in a comfortable yurt. There are around 4,300 acres to explore, with one of the main attractions being the huge shipwreck right on the beach.
The yurts sit in the large campsite, and they all have a bunk bed and a futon, a table and chairs, electricity, and heating. As the campsite is so large, it is great in terms of amenities, with clean restrooms near most sites.

2. Rustic and Traditional Pacific City Oregon Coast Yurt
These Pacific City yurts are locked on a camping resort, meaning you’ll have all the amenities that you may want from a camping trip, but it comes with the added perk of each yurt coming plenty of privacy.

Pick from the standard or the deluxe yurt at Umpqua Lighthouse State Park, depending on the level of luxury you are looking for in your camping trip.
If you don’t mind splashing out a little bit, the deluxe yurts come with a private bathroom and shower and a small kitchen area, which could be a good option if you are looking to stay for an extended period of time, or in the winter when outside bathroom runs are not very appealing.
The yurts are quite large, some sleeping seven people with a mix of bunk beds and futons, but you have to bring your own bedding.
To get to the beach, you have to follow a trail for about a mile, so it may not be your first choice of camping if you want to be right on the beachfront. It is still a beautiful setting, with the campsite surrounded by forest and right next to Lake Marie, which is perfect for hiking around and fishing.
It is also very close to the Oregon Dune National Recreation Area, which is good for hiking and off-roading.
