Now, I know what you might be thinking. What in the world is a yurt and why would I want to stay in one? Well, as usual, we at Trip101 have got your back. For those who don’t know a yurt is a portable, round tent covered with skins or felt and they’re incredible for those who want to camp in a unique and luxurious way. Save yourself the hassle of having to pitch a tent and bring loads of sleeping bags and camping gear, without dishing out for an expensive cabin rental and losing out on the essence of camping. It’s the best of both worlds! You can wake up in the comfort of a yurt, and curl up at night around a fireplace and a good old-fashioned wood burning stove while still getting to open your front door to the wild and stunning landscape. It’s the perfect solution to make sure everyone in your family has a great camping experience. Now, although yurts are quickly becoming popular, they’re not available everywhere, so if you want to check out an innovative and exciting way to camp check out this list of yurts in McCall, Idaho, USA!

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 07, 2024.

1. Silver Fox Yurt (from USD 102)

This inexpensive yurt is in a stunning location in McCall, Idaho — right next to the Payette National Forest Federal lands and some beautiful state-owned forest lands!

It comes fully equipped with four single bunk beds (with shelves full of books to aid in your relaxation efforts), a kitchen, and an indoor fireplace! Plus, the beds come equipped with thick, comfortable REI pads so all you need to bring is a sleeping bag for extra warmth and comfort! Enjoy the rustic comfort of this lodging in McCall, Idaho, in all seasons. Gaze out on the majestic mountains covered in snow, and the vast landscape below. In the winter, go skiing on the ridge of Jughandle Mountain or snowshoeing in Jug Mountain Ranch. If you’re more of a summer camping family, head over in July and take a wonderful hike through the serene Idaho wilderness, or mountain bike from the yurt downhill to Jug Mountain Ranch, then have a family barbecue on the back porch!
