Big Arm State Park In Montana Has A Yurt Village

Camping at one of Montana’s state parks is always an amazing experience, but as most Montanans know, it must be planned in advance. Here’s one outdoor adventure to add to your list for next year: Camping in a yurt. You can do just that at Big Arm State Park.

Big Arm State Park sits right on the shores of Flathead Lake – specifically, Big Arm Bay.

There’s nothing like enjoying time at this crystal clear lake on a warm day.

… or, you can try camping in a yurt.

The yurts are rustic, but they’re stocked with beds and futons.

trinaburgos / TripAdvisor The yurts have some insulation and electric heat, but you’ll still feel the cold in the off season. If you book one before May or after September, you’ll have to bring your own potable water.

You can rent a yurt for $50 per night or for $350 for the entire week.

Big Arm State Park is beautiful, so it’s not surprising that it’s one of the most popular places to camp in the Flathead area.
