Second time here and was so much fun.

This is a must! Highly recommend.

It was a magical experience to stay in a lush rainforest with towering trees and berry bushes all around. There was hardly anyone staying on our side of the campground (probably because we were there on weekdays), so it was extremely quiet and peaceful. The yurt withstood a serious rainstorm on the first night just fine, and we were grateful to not be in a tent! Also enjoyed hiking on nearby trails. Would definitely love to return next year.

Simple. Clean. Peaceful. Easy to find. I highly recommend staying here.

We enjoyed the yurt and campsite. It was very clean and comfortable

The yurt is just a canvas tent on a platform but it is really cool. It has a real door with a glass and a skylight to let in light. It has flaps you can raise for airflow. There is a table and chairs. The bed is a cheap metal bunk bed but I have slept in worse. Don’t expect to use the top bunk if you are not an acrobat. There appears to be a burrowing creature who inhabits the space below the floor and murine visitors inside. The campground is awesome with a beautiful river and huge larch trees. It has the cleanest, sweetest smelling outhouse I have ever had the pleasure of using. There is potable water but no firewood was available. My wife loved it so that made more pleasant to me.

We were so positively surprised at how picturesque the site of the yurt was! Additionally, it had just enough amenities to allow us to cut down on the gear we had to pack for our flights up: bunks, table chairs, lots of hooks to suspend packs. A truly wonderful experience.

Lovely place to camp, the yurt was nice as you could get out of the elements (weather). The lower mattress of the bunk bed, or the springs, were very worn out and uncomfortable. In fact, I woke up with sciatic pain on one side because of the poor quality of the mattress/springs and did not sleep well either. The spot was nice, close to the Yaak River, which would be great to kayak, so hopefully will return to this sweet little yurt, except sleep on the floor with padding. Hopefully it's available besides the summer months, as it's a nice little place to get away from town, your every day life, etc.

Lovely spot by the Yaak River. Others have pointed out that it’s right along the highway which is true, but this is the Yaak and not a ton of traffic. The yurt itself is less charming than I might have thought. Take note of the windows that can be rolled open because it’s a bit musty in there. And it’s true that the bathrooms are “insanely clean.”

We stay at the Yurt every summer and kayak the Yaak. Perfect place to stay and enjoy the surrounding area.

Older Yurt with woodrats living under the yurt. Door needs to be replaced. Nice location. I will pitch a tent in same campground the next stay. The campground hosts keep the restrooms sparkling clean and campground well maintained,

A simple, quiet getaway in the Yaak valley. We usually prefer to camp in the more private locations such as cabins an lookouts, so we were a little apprehensive about going to a public campground. It was quiet with plenty of space between camp sites. We took our 5 and 3 year old grand children.
They had a great time! (grandma and grandpa too!).
The outhouse was exceptionally clean, by far one of the cleanest that we have seen in a USFS campsite.
@JamesB7853748 · Camped on Jun 11, 2022 at Campsite #9
Great site. Bathroom was the cleanest we have EVER experienced. Kudos to the site manager.
@JeannieB499899 · Camped on May 2, 2022 at Campsite #9
This yurt is pretty basic. We were there May 2nd and it was really mildewey, smelt pretty bad and was damp in there. We have a pretty cozy bed in our truck and we chose to sleep there instead. Our reservation said it was on site 9 but it was actually on 10. Close to the river which is nice, good picnic tables and fire pits, toilets were insanely clean. Right off the highway so you hear cars.
@MarkW933 · Camped on Jul 13, 2020 at Campsite #9
Great place to spend a week and float the Yaak River. Nice quiet campground
@LeeV898 · Camped on Jun 29, 2020 at Campsite #9
Simple, clean set up with good fishing. Yurt isn't totaly sealed so plan on mosquitos getting in at night. Campground is clean, quiet and has no cell service....perfect!
@AdamS504 · Camped on Jun 13, 2020 at Campsite #9
Great experience!
@JillP616 · Camped on Sep 14, 2019 at Campsite #9
We stayed in September. The camp ground was quiet, only 2 other campsites were occupied. It sits right next to the Yaak river. It was beautiful and peaceful.
It had bunk beds and table and chairs. You will need to bring all of your supplies just as if you were camping. Bring your own firewood if you do not want to buy it from the camp host.
