Winter Camping in a Yurt at Afton State Park


      Video of this camping trip here. Winter yurt camping

So much fun to camp here! There are two yurts that each sleep 7 people and are available year round. There is no electricity, no pets allowed, and no cooking indoors, a pit toilet just a short walk away. The park provides the wood for heating, but you must purchase firewood. You can reserve these Reserve here and they are $70 per night with a $7.00 reservation fee.

We clamped ours up a bit with battery operated lights and candles


You cannot drive to the yurt but the parking lot is not far, and there are wagons to use to haul your gear 



First look inside. It was COLD! 

How gorgeous is this!


First things first, getting the fire going. It took a couple hours to warm the yurt up. 


The heating wood is in a shed nearby
