The best yurts near Lowell Point

Lowell Point puts you steps from Resurrection Bay and some of Alaska’s most rugged coastal hikes, with over a dozen yurts available for your next trip. These round, insulated tents keep you warm when the weather turns, and you’ll find most come with showers, toilets, and the all-important campfire ring. Nightly rates start at $100, with the average hovering around $145. If you want a spot with character, check out Nauti Otter Vintage Campers and Cabins (2 reviews) or Seward Camping (1 review). Most yurts put you close to hiking trails that wind into the rainforest or along the beach—expect bald eagles overhead and the occasional seal in the surf. Showers and flush toilets are standard at many sites, so you won’t have to rough it. Bring layers, keep your bear spray handy, and take advantage of those long summer evenings around a fire.
