The best yurts in Utah

·

Utah’s rugged landscape sets the stage for yurt camping, and you’ve got 10 options across the state that put you right in the action. Expect round, insulated shelters—sturdy against desert wind, surprisingly quiet at night, and spaced out for actual privacy. Average rates hover around $299 per night, but you’ll find some as low as $130 if you book early or travel off-peak. Most sites offer wifi, clean toilets, and allow pets, so you won’t have to rough it. The top spots are Zion Backcountry Sheep Camps (45 reviews) and Opinion Yurts (2 reviews). These yurts put you close to sandstone cliffs and quiet trails, but far enough from the crowds. Book fast—Utah’s best yurt stays go quick, especially when temperatures drop and the stars come out.

This land has been in our family for four generations to graze our herd of sheep. We renovated our camps to provide a comfortable glamping space to those who want a one-of-a-kind experience in the backcountry. One of our best features is the solitude and exposure to Mother Nature. Here, you won't find quiet hours, disruptive campers, or noise and light pollution. These sites provide the ultimate experience for those willing to go off the grid, off the main road, and into the backcountry. This space is where the tourist crowds disappear and the rugged, raw beauty appears. As the crow flies, the property is just over three miles from the east boundary of Zion National Park. This land is where our family calls home and has been in the Lundgren family for four generations. It is still used for agriculture purposes today. In early June, you may see sheep grazing in the nearby meadows and mid-to-late summer, cows roam the area adding to the uniqueness of the experience. This part of the country is home to textured red rock, blue skies, and numerous desert flora and fauna, making it an ideal spot for photographers. Some of the animals you might spot include owl, bear, mountain lion, bobcat, deer, coyote, turkey, snakes, lizards, as well as many different types of birds. There is very little light pollution making the night sky dazzling and unforgettable.
