Yurt Camping in Northern Colorado

Enjoy an outdoor escape from the comfort of your private room by the riverside. Experience Northern Colorado in style with a real bed on our 235-acre wilderness property.

Colorado Yurt Camping

Looking for the perfect romantic getaway, a unique camping experience, or just a relaxing retreat close to home? Our Lotus Belle Yurts are the perfect escape! For those who are used to roughing it in a tent, a yurt offers a much more spacious and comfortable camping experience. 

So, exactly what is a yurt? A yurt is a semi-permanent, circular shelter made of waterproof canvas and durable flooring to protect you from the elements. It’s like a tent – only better. Some people refer to staying in a yurt as “glamping”, a combination of the words glamorous and camping. That’s because a yurt comes with extra amenities you don’t normally have in a tent, such as plenty of extra space and a comfortable bed to sleep in. If you want to enjoy being one with nature without having to give up some creature comforts, camping in a yurt offers the perfect compromise.

About Our Lotus Bell Yurts

Our beautiful Lotus Belle yurts feel light and spacious inside. Guests are able to move freely and stretch out in the space, which is both beautiful and functional. Mosquito net, clear vinyl, and canvas window coverings allow guests to moderate the temperature of the space while keeping insects out. Lay in bed and watch the wind move through the trees, or feel free to close the canvas shutters for privacy.

We request a two-night minimum stay for all yurt reservations. Additional pet fees and cleaning fees may apply.

 Yurt rental sites are allowed 1 tent to sleep an additional 4 people max for an additional $30/night. Additional sleeping options (sleeping bags, blow up beds/cots) are allowed in the 2-person yurts to accommodate up to 4 guests total. Yurt capacity cannot exceed 4 people unless approved by Platte River staff before visit.

Our yurts are available from mid-May to mid-October.
