About
Four yurts high on a bluff overlooking Guernsey Reservoir, each with solar-powered lights and a ceiling fan but no bathroom, kitchen, water, or electricity inside. Wyoming State Parks' own rental-fee page states Yurt 2 is ADA-accessible, though the reservation system's own accessibility flag doesn't mark any of the four as ADA - a real discrepancy between the two sources, not resolved either way here; call ahead if accessibility is a concern.
Fees
$67.20/night. This rate covers the rental unit itself; this park's own day-use vehicle entry fee and any overnight camping fee also apply on top of it, per Wyoming State Parks' own rental-fee page. Bookings for a May 1-September 30 stay open 120 days before arrival; for an October 1-April 30 stay, bookings open 120 days before arrival and close 48 hours before arrival. Reserve online at reserve.wyoming.gov or by phone at 877-WYO-PARK (877-996-7275).
Wyoming State Parks' own rental-fee page states these yurts are closed October 15 through April 30 each year; the exact status for October 1-14 (the small gap between the stated open season's end and the stated closure's start) isn't spelled out on that page. Plan around the confirmed May 1-September 30 window.
