2 nights at Camp Colton
Camp Colton was beautiful! I wish I could’ve stayed longer. The chanterelle yurt was great. The fire pit and the hiking trails were awesome. Would definitely come back!

Carly’s property and yurt made for a perfect weekend getaway! Though just minutes from downtown, it was quiet, private, peaceful, and secluded. The space had everything we needed, including a functional toilet and shower. Along with the cozy vibe of the yurt, there were plenty of options for hiking trails and close to a vineyard for wine tasting. I highly recommend this property for a nice, cozy getaway.

We had a wonderful relaxing few nights at Camp Colton. It was wonderfully quiet with only crickets, the creek, and birdsong. We loved exploring the trails with our pup. The puffball yurt was perfect for two of us plus our dog. It was warm during the chilly nights, had electricity, the fire pit had a great grill top, and the nearby bathrooms were nice. Even waking up to the sound of rain on the roof one morning was nice! Highly recommend and we'll be back.

Weekend Trip to Amico Roma Farm
We had a fantastic and relaxing time with our pups. They loved running around in the grass, and sleeping inside by the cozy wood stove. The yurt is completely equipped, we barely had to bring more than some food and our clothes!
We walked over to the winery next door, wandered the trails on the property, and relaxed with games and books. A really special weekend!

Absolutely beautiful place to be! Our family loved staying in the yurt, sitting around the fire at night, and falling asleep seeing the stars through the clear window on top of the yurt.

Amazing place! Super private, beautiful yurt with a private bathroom and shower that felt like a 5 star resort. We didn’t get a chance to go in the sauna but it looked super well done.

Weekend Trip to Camp Colton
We loved our cozy stay at the Puffball yurt nestled into a gorgeous retreat area with several little trails to take in nature. The small fireplace inside the yurt kept us warm at night and we were thrilled at how clean and well designed the bathrooms are. Neal was a great help as well in getting us situated and answering questions. Highly recommend!

Incredible customer service with any back and forth needed and you can tell the love and time they have put into each campsite. This place is perfect for peaceful evenings, relaxing and connecting with your partner or friends. If you do stay here please respect the property because it's an absolute Delight being able to share an experience like this. Thank you Carly wishing you the best.

Carly’s yurt was perfect! Ample privacy, wonderful finishes, hi quality water and power. We loved it and would definitely come back! It would be lovely for a longer visit but we were traveling through, from Colorado.

I almost didn't want to leave a review because I want to keep this place all to myself. This space was so perfect for a glamping get away. Everything you could need while also staying out in the woods was provided. I felt like I was back at summer camp with some swanky upgrades (the private showers and laundry?! Outstanding). I wish I had stayed more than one night, but I am most certainly going to be a frequent guest all year long for weekend get aways! What an absolute gem.

1 night at Camp Colton
If you’re craving peaceful, no‑frills glamping nestled in a lush Oregon forest, Puffball is a dreamy pick. Tucked deep among towering evergreens and perched near Canyon Creek, this yurt offers one of the most secluded stays at Camp Colton. The host thought of everything—every little touch and comfort to make it feel so cozy and glamping‑perfect. Bathhouse with hot showers just a short stroll away. One thing to note though, if you arrive after 5PM, make sure you let them know ahead of time and that the number they provided is correct. Mine was not and we tried calling for half an hour finding way to get inside our tent.

The yurt was so nice. Really thoughtful with the way they set things up. Clear instructions for everything. The shower was beautiful and private. I walked down to the sauna and a family of deer was walking past. A wonderful place to reconnect with nature. Carly was considerate and kind in our communication. I would love to come again and would suggest it to others.

Camp Colton provides a gorgeous glamping experience close to Portland. When you need relaxing and ease more than remote and rugged, this is the place.
Big trees, moss, ferns, scenic creeks, with beautiful metal sculptures sprinkled through, we enjoyed exploring the land. We walked each of the wild trails multiple times, delighting in the small waterfalls, quirky bridges, and wild flowers. Our two small dogs loved it.
The premium fire pit kept us at the campsite cooking and enjoying each other’s company at night. The yurt was comfortable, especially the bed, surrounded by greenery and a bird symphony in the morning.
We had so much privacy while being close to the bathhouse which featured hot, private showers, multiple toilets, drinking water, and laundry.
It was easy to leave and explore other parks in the area and pick up anything we forgot.

The whole campground is incredibly beautiful. We stayed in a yurt, the beds and bedding were way above and beyond expectations. All of the mattresses including the bunkbed mattresses were magnificently comfortable.
So, the yurt had a wood stove, but when we tried it a couple of times it filled the yurt with smoke even when we only left the door open long enough to get it going. I don’t know what’s going on with it, but we decided it was completely unusable. There was some kind of plug-in heater that didn’t put out enough heat to accomplish much. The yurt has practically zero insulation so it was drafty and cold especially near the walls. The second day I went and bought a heating pad thinking that would do the trick. It was an even colder night. I went outside at 2AM and could see my breath. I ended up taking a space heater from the bathroom and that made it reasonably comfortable for the rest of the night. I wished I’d brought a couple of space heaters and electric blankets. BTW this was in mid-June….so..?
We brought our 4-year-old twins along, and they loved it! My only complaint is that there is Foxglove everywhere. This plant is literally toxic. It’s fine it’s left alone, but it made me nervous with the kids running around. If you visit, please just be aware.
On a final note, the staff was wonderful—specifically Neal. He was very friendly and happy to help. The place is up-scale and all of the campers were quiet and respectful. It was much better than a state park!

We really enjoyed the art and found it pretty cozy. It was very private. We explored the grounds and went to the winery next-door. We definitely recommend.

The best yurts near Lyons guide
Where to go
Along the Santiam River
Lyons offers easy access to outdoor recreation and camping along the Santiam River, which attracts anglers with its variety of salmon and trout species. Popular spots in the area include the North Santiam Recreation Area, Buell-Miller County Park, and the Santiam State Forest.
Detroit Lake and Around
The Santiam River spills out into the Detroit Reservoir, a massive lake that’s popular with water-sports enthusiasts and campers alike. The area around the reservoir is full of campsites and trails, most within the Mount Hood National Forest, and is home to the Breitenbush Hot Springs retreat center.
The Silverton Area
The area just north of Lyons, near the small city of Silverton, is full of places to explore, including the Oregon Gardens and Silver Falls State Park, known for its dense collection of waterfalls. The Bavarian-inspired town of Mount Angel is also nearby; come in mid-September to experience its annual Oktoberfest celebrations
When to go
Lyons is in the Willamette Valley, which has a relatively mild climate, with hot and somewhat dry summers and cool (but not cold temperatures) and plenty of rainfall the rest of the year. Summers here get busy, owing largely to the area’s close proximity to the densely populated Interstate-5 corridor, but things start to get quieter after Labor Day, when kids go back to school, particularly on weekdays.
