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
Getting ready to cook dinner
Comfy beds. The windows do open, and there are also curtains.
