Did you know that there are over 30 unique yurt rentals in Ontario? That’s a whole lot of yurts!

In today’s post, you’ll find a range of yurts to rent in Ontario that best suit your needs. We’ll be covering yurt rentals in Ontario’s provincial parks, private yurts, basic yurt camping tips, glamping yurts, winterized yurts, dog-friendly yurts and everything in between!

To save you some time, I highly recommend using the Table of Contents (collapsed below) to help you find the type of yurts you’re looking for.

What is a yurt?

A yurt is a portable, large and circular tent traditionally used by nomadic groups in Central Asia (particularly in Mongolia) and other areas of North Asia as their primary form of shelter.

Nowadays, modern yurts have multiple purposes and are used as:

  • temporary housing
  • guest lodging
  • spaces for meditation
  • for glamping

What is the difference between a yurt and a traditional tent?

In general, a yurt has more room than a traditional tent and can take a bit longer to erect than a normal tent. Most yurts, especially yurts in Ontario are semi-permanent, waterproof structures that often come equipped with basic amenities to set you up for a more comfortable stay.

Overall when compared to a tent, yurts in Ontario are aimed to help campers reduce the amount of bulky gear you need to bring for your stay.

What kind of amenities do yurts in Ontario have?

In Ontario, you’ll find a variety of amenity ranges in yurts.

Basic yurts, like the yurts available for rent at Provincial Parks or National Parks, typically offer a few beds (typically bunk beds), a small table and a few chairs.

Privately owned yurts can offer a wide range of luxury amenities including but not limited to:

  • Luxury linens, beddings, and mattresses
  • Electrical lighting, WiFi, and Charging Outlets
  • Kitchenettes / BBQs
  • Electrical heaters, fans, and portable air conditioners
  • Entertainment (i.e. board games, sports equipment etc.)

As private yurts can vary in amenities, always be sure to check exactly what amenities are available in the yurt and if any supplies are included before booking and packing for your stay.

Where can I find yurt rentals in Ontario?

Since yurts are offered as either vacation or camping accommodations, you’ll see these yurt rentals available on both provincial parks websites and on private lodging websites like Glamping Hub, Airbnb and HipCamp. If you’re resourceful with your search keywords, you might also be able to find some private, standalone yurt listings as well.

What can I expect when I rent a yurt?

If you’re renting a yurt for your next glamping vacation in Ontario here are a few things you can expect:

  1. Not every yurt is available year-round, some rentals don’t operate in the winter – so be sure to check availability!
  2. Winter yurts often come with an electric space heater, a gas stove, or a wood stove to keep you warm – you won’t freeze, but you may also find it a bit chilly at times, so be sure to pack extra layers (like warm socks and slippers) if you’re thinking of trying a winter yurt
  3. Most do not offer lights, electrical outlets or WiFi – many of these rentals will be listed as an ‘off-the-grid’ experience
  4. The number of amenities/features provided can vary a lot – be sure to read each listing’s fine print so you know exactly what you need to pack
  5. Provincial Park Yurts are cheaper to rent but have significantly fewer amenities than private-hosted yurts. Conversely, provincial parks tend to offer more exciting trails, hikes and better outdoor activity amenities than private yurts.

Yurts in Ontario provincial parks

Provincial Park yurts offer the most basic amenities of all yurt rentals in Ontario. However, staying at these rentals grants you access to everything the provincial park has to offer including its amazing trails, designated off-leash areas, wildlife, and most importantly running water / hot water comfort stations.

National parks with yurts in Ontario

There is only 1 National Park in Ontario where you can rent yurts – Bruce Peninsula National Park.

Bruce Peninsula National Park has 10 yurts for rent. Similar to the provincial park yurts, bookings for the Bruce Peninsula yurts are incredibly popular.

Booking a national park yurt:

Parks Canada’s Reservation System opens every January and February for booking reservations from April to March of next year. Popular summer days tend to get booked out before spring, so definitely plan early!

Amenities to expect in a Bruce Peninsula Yurt

Provincial park yurt rentals typically sleep between 2 – 6 people in bunk bed-style sleeping arrangements and typically include a propane BBQ, broom, and dustpan too.

Bruce Peninsula’s yurts offer more amenities than the basic yurts found at Provincial Parks. A minimum 2-night stay typically costs about $256 CAD or $128 CAD per night.

Here are some of the amenities you can expect when staying at one of these yurts:

  • Murphy beds
  • Shelving for storage
  • Woodstove
  • Large Patio Deck

Restrictions

Unlike some of the provincial parks that are open year-round and allow dogs, the Bruce Peninsula yurts are only available during the summer camping season (mid-May to the end of October) and do not allow pets.

Do other National Parks other than Bruce Peninsula Park have yurts?

While the other national parks in Ontario do not have yurts like the Bruce Peninsula National Park, other national parks offer a similar experience via their A-frame semi-permanent structures known as “oTENTiks”. These structures come with an indoor table, chairs set, and indoor lighting.

Here is a table of national parks in Ontario that offer oTENTiks:

Private yurts for rent in Ontario

Over the years I have compiled a list of over 25+ private yurts in Ontario that you can rent.

Often found on private farmlands, and other large properties, private yurts offer the most luxurious overnight experience.

In addition, private yurts also offer the opportunity for campers to pack light. Many private yurts in Ontario are only a short drive away from town centres and cities so for campers looking to pack ultra-minimally, you might not even need to pack food since you have plenty of takeout options nearby!

At a minimum, every private yurt on this list is outfitted with higher-quality bedding linen and upgraded seating and table arrangements. In many cases, you’ll also find optional experiential additions to your stay (like farm tours, alpacas stays, and other unique activities available on the property).

So without further ado, here is the list of all the private yurts I’ve found online – if you’d like to see where the yurts are located in the province, feel free to jump to the map of yurt locations just below this list.
