Out in nature and off-grid, our large, 30 ft. diameter Pacific Yurt is in a beautiful setting with lots of wildlife around. We have year-round hiking trails throughout our 95 acres of woods and fields and along our large creek. This is an all off-grid camping experience with nice beds, clean sheets and a composting toilet.

The yurt is on a raised wooden platform and is a 5-minute walk up and down a dry creek bed to parking and your other amenities in our refinished barn / community center.
