A perfect location for experiencing sunrise, sunset, and a bit of seclusion, the Moenkopi Yurts offer a glorious camping experience up at Dead Horse Point State Park. With sweeping views and a private spur to the Intrepid Trail System, this yurt site can be your quiet spot of heaven while enjoying the Moab area.
Each yurt of the five Moenkopi yurts contains sleeping space for up to six people, in the form of a bunk bed and a pullout futon couch. An outdoor propane grill allows for cooking on-site and the propane is provided by the park. Heating, air conditioning, and electrical outlets are available, and tables are available both inside and outside of the yurt. Modern restroom facilities are located within easy walking distance. Bedding is not provided.
Pets are allowed in the Moenkopi Yurts (yurts 1 – 5) ONLY. Guests will be charged a non-refundable fee of $20 per pet, per stay. A maximum of two pets are allowed per yurt.
Bedding is not provided.
Perfect place to stay. Very clean and a huge plus to have AC/heat with the drastic temp changes. In between all the parks and hiking. The visitor center has ice so you don't need to trek into town if not needed. Will definitely be back.
Everything was as expected. The yurt was even warm when we arrived and it was 18 degrees outside. In the winter the floor is a little chilly bring slippers. The yurt is very large with plenty of room. The bathrooms are nice and clean, but they aren't heated. If you have to sit down I'm sorry :).
Wonderful and unique place to stay. My dad and I stayed here two nights in December and it was a highlight of our trip to Utah. The yurt was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The heater made the yurt cozy, but I would recommend bringing a sleeping bag. The restrooms were very close and very clean. The best part of staying here is the proximity to Dead Horse Point and Canyonlands National Park.
We enjoyed our stay, though... first night, the Monoxide alarm went off about midnight. Piercing. After trying different options for over an hour, we removed the batteries and slept in our truck (have a baby and pregnant wife). The park changed the battery the next day and that fixed it, but still, it was a rough night and maybe those batteries should be changed on a schedule rather than forcing a guest to have stress and pay for a night to sleep in their car (3 people just died from Monoxide at a resort in Bahamas, so this is serious stuff).
All that said, we would stay there again and hope the alarms don't go off.
FYI, the best yurts with views are 2, 3, and 4, with 3 & 4 probably best overall. We were in Yurt 1 which turned out great for having a toddler. Lots of deck space to run around, safely with railing. Also a more spacious picnic table and fire pit, though they're on concrete and not in the dirt, so it doesn't feel as 'natural'... but again, with a toddler it was ideal.
