Yurts (4) · sleeps 6
Harriman State Park, a former working cattle ranch inside the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, has four individually-bookable yurts - Cygnet, Ermine, and Wyethia (open year-round) plus Becker (open May 1 through Nov. 30 only). Each sleeps up to six on bunk beds, with a wood stove for heat and a propane stove for cooking - bring your own food and gear. There's no bathroom in the yurts themselves; nearby vault toilets serve them. Pets aren't allowed. This park also runs several group-only lodging venues (Scovel Education Center Cabins, the Railroad Ranch Dormitory & Dining Hall, and the Bunkhouse & Cookhouse) that book as whole-group blocks, not individual family rentals, and aren't covered by this listing. No individual per-yurt coordinate is published - the map point shown is this park's own facility location.
