Your haven is no mountain cabin. Yurts are circular, wood and canvas structures reminiscent of tents used by the nomads of Mongolia and Siberia. Unlike tents, yurts are roomy, stable structures that provide ideal accommodations for a summer getaway or weekend ski trip. Located on the Dutch Charlie site, Ridgway State Park yurts include many amenities, including a gas log fireplace, wooden doors, pinewood floors, a skylight and three large windows, perfect for viewing the towering San Juan Mountains. From April through October, visitors can enjoy showers, laundry facilities and running water at the Ridgway State Park Camper Services building.
Bathrooms are available year-round.
Ridgway State Park is only 12 miles south of Ouray, home of the famous Hot Springs Pool. Other area attractions include Telluride, famous for skiing and summer festivals, as well as the unparalleled outdoor recreation opportunities in the nearby San Juan Mountains. Yurts at Ridgway State Park provide economical family accommodations. Yurts may be reserved for single parties for the base fee and a minimum two-person charge.
