A state park yurt on the Oregon coast is a round canvas tent on a wooden deck, with a locking door, heat, lights and beds, a short walk from the restrooms and showers. Fourteen coast state parks rent yurts and two more rent cabins, most of them all year, which makes a yurt the easy way to camp on the coast in the rainy season. Here's what you get, what it costs and where to book.
What's inside a state park yurt
Rustic yurts (nearly all of them) sleep 5:
- Bunk beds, a futon couch or a double bed, with vinyl mattresses. Bring your own bedding.
- A table and two chairs, electricity, heat and lights, and a locking door.
- Outside: a picnic table and fire pit.
- No bathroom or kitchen. You use the campground's shared restrooms and showers, and cooking isn't allowed inside.
Deluxe yurts add a private bathroom with shower, a kitchenette with a mini fridge and microwave, an outdoor propane or electric grill, and a TV with DVD player. On the coast, the only deluxe yurts are at Umpqua Lighthouse State Park. Inside a deluxe unit you can cook only with the microwave provided.
Rules for every yurt and cabin:
- Reservations are required, and you must be 18 or older to rent.
- No smoking, and no pets except in pet-friendly units.
- Parking for one vehicle is included; most parks allow one more for a daily fee.
- Check-in 4 p.m., check-out 1 p.m.

The best picks
- Biggest choice: South Beach (27 yurts, 24 of them accessible) and Beverly Beach (21), both near Newport and the Oregon Coast Aquarium.
- For dogs: Nehalem Bay has 9 pet-friendly yurts on a sand spit a dune away from the beach; Tugman has 8 on a quiet lake.
- Private bathroom: the deluxe yurts at Umpqua Lighthouse, on Lake Marie near the Oregon Dunes; some have a lake view.
- Lakes and dunes: Honeyman, on Cleawox Lake with sand dunes running into the water.
- Steps from the sand: Beachside, where every site is seconds from the beach, but it has only 2 yurts and closes in winter.
- History and family trips: Fort Stevens, with a lake, bike trails, a Civil War-era fort and deluxe cabins as well as yurts.
What a yurt costs
Rates took effect May 1, 2026 and include lodging tax. Oregon State Parks now prices cabins and yurts at the top of its range all year, with no low-season discount, so older figures like "$42–62" you may still see no longer apply:
| Unit | Oregon residents | Non-residents |
|---|---|---|
| Rustic yurt | $73–82 | $91–103 |
| Pet-friendly rustic yurt | $83–92 | $101–113 |
| Deluxe yurt (Umpqua Lighthouse) | $131 | $164 |
| Pet-friendly deluxe yurt | $141 | $174 |
| Rustic cabin | $82–90 | $103–113 |
| Deluxe cabin | $141–148 | $177–185 |
- Non-residents pay 25% more.
- Pet-friendly units cost $10 a night more, and since April 6, 2026 that fee isn't refunded if you arrive without a pet. Up to two cats or dogs per unit.
- A $10 reservation fee applies unless you book on the day.
How to book a yurt
- Reserve at oregonstateparks.reserveamerica.com or 800-452-5687. Search by park, or filter Find a Park for cabins and yurts.
- Six months ahead, with new dates opening at 6 a.m. each day. Summer weekends at the popular parks tend to go first, so be online when your date opens.
- Same-day bookings for yurts and cabins close at 5:59 p.m., earlier than tent sites, because staff hand over keys and codes.
- Cancel online or by phone up to the day before arrival; on the arrival day, call the park. Cancellations carry a transaction fee.
- Accessible (ADA) yurts have ramps and are marked on the reservation page; Oregon State Parks asks other campers to book a non-ADA unit when one is free.
- Stay up to 14 nights within any 30-night period in one campground.
What to bring
- Bedding for every bed: sleeping bags or sheets and blankets, pillows. The mattresses are bare vinyl.
- Towels and toiletries for the shared showers.
- Cookware, a camp stove and food. Utensils aren't provided, and in rustic yurts you cook outside.
- Rain gear and warm layers, even in summer, and a headlamp for the walk to the restroom.
- Firewood bought at or near the park.
Yurts elsewhere in Oregon
Oregon State Parks has yurts inland too, including Valley of the Rogue near Medford (13 yurts, 6 pet-friendly), Tumalo near Bend (7 yurts, open all year), Champoeg south of Portland (6 yurts and 6 cabins) and Wallowa Lake in the northeast (2 wood-walled yurts). Same rates and booking rules.
Yurts or a tent in the off-season?
From October to April, coast campgrounds are quieter and many loops close, while most yurts stay open. With heat, a dry floor and a door that locks, a yurt turns a stormy weekend into a comfortable one; you can still cook on the fire pit between rain showers. If you'd rather camp free, see free camping in Oregon, and for more of the state, our Oregon camping guides.
