About
Makoshika State Park, Montana's largest state park and a badlands fossil site, is listed on Montana FWP's own statewide fee schedule as having a yurt available to rent. The park's own individual page doesn't mention it at all, and no capacity, amenity, cost, or season detail beyond the standard yurt rate band is published anywhere found - call the park directly to confirm before planning a stay.
Fees
Montana FWP names this park in its statewide specialty-lodging fee schedule (same Cabin/Yurt band as this file's other properties: roughly $50-$66/night for residents, $60-$72/night for nonresidents, depending on season), but no park-specific rate, capacity, or amenity detail is published anywhere found - call ahead to confirm. Montana's day-use entrance fee also applies on top of the nightly rate: residents who pay the $9 state parks fee with vehicle registration owe nothing extra; nonresidents pay $8/vehicle or $4/walk-in per day (or a $50/year or $35/7-day pass). A 50% discount applies statewide to Montana-resident seniors (62+), veterans, and people with disabilities. Reservations open up to 3 months ahead; canceling before check-in carries a flat $10 fee.
No season information of any kind is published for this yurt - not even on the statewide fee schedule that's the only source confirming it exists. Call ahead, especially for a winter stay.
