Our Take
What makes Crescent Lake Yurts special
Crescent Lake Yurts bring a touch of comfort to the wild northwest shore of Crescent Lake in Oregon's Deschutes National Forest, where the snow-capped Cascade peaks reflect off pristine mountain water. These yurt rentals elevate the camping experience beyond tent life — you get a solid roof, raised floor, and enough space to spread out, while still being immersed in a towering forest of Douglas fir and mountain hemlock. The lake is stocked with kokanee salmon and trout, making morning fishing from shore or a small boat genuinely rewarding. Hiking trails lead into the surrounding wilderness, and the lake itself is calm enough for kayaking and canoeing. Summer through early fall is the prime window, roughly late June through September, as snow lingers well into spring at this elevation. Bring warm layers even in July — mountain nights drop into the 40s. The yurts at Crescent Lake are perfect for couples, small families, and anyone who wants a Pacific Northwest mountain lake experience without sleeping on the ground.
