I had my first yurt experience last weekend. Wendy and I stayed in Newport, Oregon at the South Beach State Park. It was blissful. Here are a few photographs from our yurting experience.

Shana has been on me for years to go ‘yurting’. My only gripe is that the dog can’t go too.

To DC and others- Oregon State Parks are now opening up a couple yerts for pet use on a trial basis - beginning May 2009. One of the yerts is here in the South Beach campground. I also had been wanting to try it, but I hate leaving my lab at home. He wants to be right there with me, especially at the beach! I’m calling next week for a spot at the beginning of the summer.
I think the parks system will find that the dogs are never the problem….it is only bad owners/campers that cause the issues. And many of them were going to make issues, be obnoxiously loud, and leave a mess without a dog ever being present to begin with. Hopefully the park administration will see the benefit of opening up more yerts (and cabins) for campers with pets in the future. So DC, get on the phone and make your reservation now! Finally we (dog owners) can get a chance to try this out too!

Willie,
Thanks for the update. Let us know if the reservation is successful, and I’ll be making my reservation soon after!
Thanks,
