Glamping has become a popular alternative to traditional camping in recent years, and we can only assume that’s because more and more people are realizing how awesome it actually is. Spending the day out enjoying nature, roasting marshmallows over an evening campfire, then curling up in a real bed inside a charming yurt? Sign us up.
Plenty of Washington’s top campground and resorts have glamping yurts these days, which range from rustic and basic to all-out hotel-like oases. These are five picturesque places that offer this unique experience.
- Lakedale, Friday Harbor
Lakedale / Facebook Lakedale, 4313 Roche Harbor Rd, Friday Harbor, WA 98250, USA
Lakedale / Facebook Lakedale Resort is a family-friendly, quiet property on San Juan Island. Their seven yurts sit tucked inside a quiet forest, surrounded by Fish Hook Lake. These yurts have it all: electricity, running water, a big cozy bed, a sleeper sofa, a kitchenette, indoor plumbing, and even private BBQs and hot tubs. You can reserve your yurt on the Lakedale website, but note that they fill up quickly.
- Cape Disappointment State Park, Ilwaco
Management / TripAdvisor Cape Disappointment, Washington 98624, USA
JennyO2000 / TripAdvisor Your yurt experience at Cape Disappointment will be anything but disappointing. They all have bunk beds, a futon that converts into a bed, electricity, lamps, and heaters. You can reserve yours at parks.state.wa.us or by calling 888-226-7688.
- The Yurt Village at Kayak Point, Stanwood

- SageCliffe Resort & Spa, Quincy
Management / TripAdvisor SageCliffe Resort and Spa, 344 Silica Rd NW, Quincy, WA 98848, USA
tvnewseditor / TripAdvisor Are you looking for a more elegant experience? SageCliffe Resort and Spa has every amenity you could ever desire, and their desert yurts are fantastic. The yurts have many amenities, like cozy beds, mini fridges, dining areas, and full bathrooms with showers. But they don’t have TVs or telephones, and that’s no accident… the goal here is to disconnect. The desert yurts can be reserved on the SageCliff website.
- Pacific Beach State Park

Eric Allan / Google Glamping within walking distance of the beach sounds divine, doesn’t it? These cozy yurts have bunk beds, a full-sized futon, electricity, and overhead lights. The heater will keep you warm on cool nights, and the bathrooms and coin-operated showers are nearby. You can make a reservation at parks.state.wa.us up to nine months in advance.
