Royal Gorge Yurts

Our yurt was super spacious and so aesthetically pleasing. Loved all of the features from the patio furniture and outdoor kitchen to the cooler and fire pit. We had everything we needed for a cozy retreat away from home. It’s very clean, has plenty of power outlets and can fit four people comfortably. Sometimes you hear the train pass through but it’s pretty peaceful and you get used to it. I would 100% stay here again.

You won’t get another experience like this! Riverside with your closest friends in their own yurts is one of the coolest things ever. Book now before they are filled up for the Summer!

Amazing view and great yurts! We were just there for 2 days, and even though it was hot, the yurts cooled quickly at night. Beds are comfortable and the staff amazing. Thanks for the awesome trip!

Wish I could give this place more kudos that 5 stars. We rented the yellow and orange yurts with 3 kiddos under the age of 1.5 and everyone had a BLAST. Highly recommend rafting ("V" was an amazing raft guide)! We were there in May, nights were chilly but the heaters in the yurts worked great. ALSO! Unexpectedly ate at the White Water bar and grill all three nights were were there because we love it so much. Already planning our trip back.

We had a wonderful time! Glamping at its best. Easy access to the Arkansas river, and with premium amenities while still "roughing it." The Yurts are well designed, secure and maintained. Premium amenities and access to nearby activities does come at a premium price, but was well worth it in our experience. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to explore the Royal Gorge area.

Excellent place to stay and base camp out of. We were there with a large group and they were extremely helpful and the facilities were great for our trip. The kids had an excellent time playing on the beach, playing corn hole, catching toads and snakes while the adults enjoyed the large gathering spaces to hang out. Definitely recommend and will be coming back.

I've had the pleasure of staying in the Royal Gorge Yurts on a few different occasions, and my expectations are always exceeded! The Yurts stay cozy at night, and cool during the day. The river front location is prime. Make sure to bring some groceries, you won't want to miss out on cooking a meal using the grill & outdoor gas stove. Wind down and relax next to the fire pit to end the day. Don't forget to check out all the other amenities. Book a Zipline tour, or Rafting trip, or simply explore the amazing scenery.

We had an amazing time staying at the Royal Gorge Yurt for two nights. The yurt was very clean. Each yurt has a private patio with a propane grill, which was clean and good quality. Also there was a patio table and chairs, trash can, propane fire pit and adironak style chairs. Inside the yurt were Keurig coffee makers. I recommend bringing a gallon of water for this and you’ll need your own K cups. The bathrooms were near the main road. There were porta potties closer to the yurts, but I always walked up to the building. Those bathrooms and showers were clean. There are large covered areas to hang out with a bigger group of people that have tables and chairs, rockers, horseshoes and corn hole. There is a “trail”, but I wouldn’t recommend it for small children or dogs. There are a lot of cactus right in the pathway, and some narrow paths/steep edges. Otherwise it does have nice views. It was August when we stayed so it was very warm inside the yurt during the day but it cooled off during the night with the windows open and provided fan in the yurt. The staff was helpful when we had an issue with the fire pit and quick to respond. If you book rafting or zip line through them, I believe you get 15% if staying at the yurts so we booked in person to get that discount. I had read a review about not being able to swim in the river. The current is strong, as the rafts go by this part of the river. However the swimming is at your own risk. There is a shallow part near the beach that you can wade in. It is easy to tell where the current begins. My kids had fun! We would absolutely stay in the yurts again. Blue heron felt private and had a great view of the river. This experience was everything we were hoping for, and would love to come back some day!
