Zen Yurt in Murphys

4. Zen Yurt in Murphys

31mi from Plymouth · 1 site
We have a beautiful 45-acre slice of foothill forest-meets-town life to offer, with a glamping experience built around a Japanese bathhouse vibe and a lot of DIY determination. The yurt sits next to a "spa garden," a serene wellness area with a sauna, Japanese soaking tub (ofuro), garden nooks, and a Japanese bathhouse-style setup. Almost everything out here is host-built—even the bricks in the bathhouse were hand-hewn. Soak as long as you like, breathe the pine air, and let your nervous system defrag. While the yurt and spa garden sit on the edge of a forest, you’re still only about a 10-minute walk to Main Street Murphys—a ridiculously cute Gold Country town with tasting rooms, great food, indie shops, and a surprisingly legit live music scene. It’s wine country with small-town energy. Maybe what Napa was like in the ’60s? Because we sit right on the border of town and forest, you’ll get a real blend of sounds: wind in the trees, coyotes in the field, and owl calls at night… plus the sounds of kids playing in the churchyard and a dog down the way. It’s not deep-wilderness silent—more “edge-of-town retreat” quiet. For exploring, you can hike straight from the property up our hill—Rocky Hill, as locals know it. It’s a fun, scrambly wander with big views, and it also taps into the area’s Gold Rush history: you’ll find caves and old miner ruins along the way. Come for glamping comfort, backcountry vibes, and town tacos within strolling distance!

Where to go

Stanislaus National Forest

Named after the river running through it, Stanislaus National Forest has three wilderness areas—Carson-Iceberg, Emigrant, Mokelumne Wilderness Area. Hike, backpack, and fish in the Sierra Nevada mountains and spend the night to enjoy the area for a couple of days. Campers who are staying in the forest will need a free pass from the visitor center. Bring the tent or RV to campsites with full hookups, or grab a backpack and hike in to dispersed camping all around the forest. In winter, rent one of the stocked cabins to serve as a homebase for backcountry skiing. Most wilderness trailheads are inaccessible for hiking during snowier months though.

Indian Grinding Rock State Historic Park

In the Sierra Nevada foothills west of Plymouth is Indian Grinding Rock State Historic Park. It’s named for the bedrock mortar holes carved into marbleized limestone used by indigenous peoples to grind acorns from the surrounding oak forest. Campers can reserve traditional bark houses in the park for a primitive camping experience with a historical connection. Indian Grinding Rock also has overnight campsites for tents and RVs with firepits, picnic tables, and token-operated hot showers for a refresh after a day of exploring Chaw’se Regional Indian Museum.

Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park

After gold was discovered by James W. Marshall in 1848, people flocked to the region resulting in the historic Gold Rush. Memorializing the site on Nisenan peoples’ land, campers at Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park can pan for American River gold and see important Gold Rush sites on ranger-led Gold Discovery Tours. Hike and picnic on the park grounds while staying at tent or RV campsites with full hookups at privately owned campgrounds nearby. Or check out the area’s cabin and glamping rentals, some fully furnished with queen-sized beds.

When to go

Plymouth’s elevation gives it warm summers and cold winters with rare snowfall. The higher latitudes and cool ocean currents result in a Mediterranean-like climate, with lots of clear, sunny days year-round. Summer highs can exceed 90°F, but most summer days average 72°F at their warmest. Winter temperatures usually range from 32°F to 64°F.
