In Oregon, yurts are made of wood and fabric and they are giving Oregonians a whole new way to enjoy camping in our state parks - especially in the off-season. A yurt is a round, canvas-sided building that has a solid plywood floor underfoot and a sturdy roof overhead. They come equipped with electricity, heat and furniture to comfortably sleep a family of five. With the help of funding from the Oregon Lottery, State Parks offers 190 yurts in parks from Wallowa Lake to Harris Beach - and Lottery profits are being used to add more every year. Yurts make camping easy, comfortable and fun in any weather. And more yurts mean more people can enjoy camping in Oregon's State Parks more often.
