The yurt is a really nice secluded mountain area. While the yurt has some repairs that are needed, and the previous campers did not clean up after themselves, it is an amazing location and I highly recommend the experience.

We only got to stay for one night bc of a fire on Grizzly Ridge. The yurt is due for some updates...the floor is old and a few of the deck boards around the yurt are broken and could be a tripping hazard when carrying your stuff into the yurt. The outhouse is just that. I would not call it a vaulted toilet. It is made of wood and has been used a lot and in the heat of July the smell is enough to bring you to tears and it is gross bc being made of wood...the many misses over the years are evident. We loved the seclusion of the yurt, the view is fabulous! If you come in the hotter months, brace yourself. The yurt is HOT...think sweat lodge! And the bugs are not your town bugs. These jokers practically smoke cigars and might even play a round of uno with you. We were delighted to see hummingbirds and drink our coffee on the deck in the morning. We do wish it had an outdoor picnic table since the yurt gets so hot. We rented a boat at flaming gorge from Cedar Springs Marina. If you can afford to do so, it is a must! The water was refreshing and the views were incredible. We drove from NE Wyoming, and I am not sure if we will make it back. Too far with gear and dogs. But we aren't sorry we came and would recommend it. :)

Unfortunately it had rained quite a bit and the roads were washed out. It was middle of July, but it seemed more like Spring runoff. I was in my pickup, high clearance, large tires, 4WD, but was sliding backwards and only about a quarter of the way up. Had to turn around.

Great way to enjoy the outdoors when it's too cold for camping. The stove kept us very warm and comfortable all night long (my thermometer hovered right around 60 degrees Fahrenheit as long as we kept the stove going). The other accommodations are basic, but adequate. Would stay there again.

Their isn’t very much snow so we were able to walk in without any snow shoes, but I can’t control the weather.

An excellent and well maintained yurt! I will recommend to anyone visiting in the summer or fall to take Forest Road 181 up to the yurt rather than Forest Road 278. 278 is very rough, even for a four wheel drive, high clearance vehicle.
