' i YURT CAMPING AT BEVERLY BEACH STATE PARK
In Mongolia yurts are made of yak hide
and yak hair. 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.
