YURT RULES:
The yurts at Hyde Memorial State Park were built to provide a unique camping experience for anyone wishing to stay in the park. The yurt sites are located in the campground and are therefore subject to campground regulations. Please respect the yurts, landscape, and the other park visitors by following a few simple rules during your stay:
Check-in time is between 3:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.
Check-out time is before 11:00 a.m.
NOTES
The park is nestled in the ponderosa pine mountain forest at an elevation of 8,300 - 9,400 ft.
WHAT IS A YURT?
A yurt is the traditional dwelling of Central Asia nomads. Made to resist extreme climates, this circular shape abode has five basic elements: lattice walls, roof beams, a roof ring, a door, and a felt and hide covering. Since the 13th century, yurts have been used by nomadic horse herders as portable homes.
The yurts in Hyde Memorial State Park are a modernized version of the traditional yurt. They are warmer than a tent and have insulated walls and roofs, and a propane heater to keep cozy on those cool fall and winter evenings. In the summer, the yurts are kept cool by opening the windows that provide cross ventilation. Yurts provide the ultimate camping experience, combining the comfort of a cabin and the intimacy of sleeping in the great outdoors-:-
