Camping yurts are lightweight, portable shelters, ideal for family camping, vacations, temporary accommodation, special events, or even weddings. They are very spacious with lots of headroom, yet pack-down small and can be easily loaded on a car roof. Our Yurts are an investment in both beauty and practicality, no camping shelter is more attractive and utilizes space as efficiently as a Yurt.

Yurts were originally created by the Mongolians hundreds if not thousands of years ago. Unlike the permanent yurts you now see in many State Parks and campgrounds, our Yurts are more traditional in the sense they are lightweight and portable. They are specially designed for camping, weighing in at about 120lbs (12ft yurt) and are very, simple to set up and take down -as you will see from the video further down the page.

Here are a list of events that we will be showing our yurts in 2012. Come and have a look at one in the flesh and I can answer any question you may have. Keep an eye on the events page as more will be added.

In late Summer 2011, we were approached by a big advertising agency to see if we had three yurts available for a major car manufacturer's photo shoot!  Of course we jumped at the opportunity and had a great time setting up the shoot in Klamath Falls, Oregon (about 2hrs south of us).
We were not allowed to talk about it for a few months, but since the Honda's new CRV came out in December 2011, we can shout about it. The above photo is the center page spread of Honda's new CRV brochure - very cool.

Our yurts can be used for year-round camping. You stay cool in the summer, by raising the bottom of the wall canvas, which draws-in cool air and the warm air rises and exits through the roof wheel in the center.
You can keep snug and warm in winter by simply adding a wood stove - perfect for those winter hunting trips. Our yurts are not designed for permenant living, but for camping, temprary accommodation in the back yard, workshops, quiet spaces etc. etc.  Many States are now requireing planning permission for yurts, but as these are camping yurts and truly temporary, they are exempt. (Check with local laws though).

Yurts and Gers have been used for thousands of years by Mongolians and other eastern natio, nbecause they are spacious , lightweight and very portable. Due to the financial crises and economic downturn, people are now using yurts as cheap alternative housing.
