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.

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.
