Cabins and Yurts - 11/17/2009

Mancos State Park’s two yurts provide visitors with an alternative to RV and tent camping. You can reserve a yurt year-round. Yurts are reminiscent of tents used by nomads on the steppes of Mongolia and Siberia. The yurt is a round tent on a wooden frame with circular skylights and windows to provide light. The yurt’s insulated walls and propane heater/gas-log fireplace keep it warm in the winter. Pets are allowed with a $10 per night fee. See the Mancos Yurts page for complete information.
