Yurts act as a combination of a tent and a hotel room, offering a secure location for a base camp. Nomad Yurts provides themed yurts for Lake Powell glamping. Here is more information on why yurts are appropriate for a base camp:
Stable Structure and Climate Control
For Lake Powell glamping, stay in a yurt as an alternative to setting up a tent. This saves you time, allowing you to set up immediately inside a shelter instead of having to create your own. Yurts consist of wooden frames and fabric walls, and they are in a circular shape that evenly shares the weight. The wooden framing provides durability, and the walls offer flexibility. The secure, circular structure enhances wind resistance and allows it to stay stable in desert conditions. Resistance to the elements offers greater protection for your base camp, preventing you from having to reset camp after a windstorm.
Yurts also work to offer protection from desert heat, helping with insulation and airflow. The breathable materials react to temperature changes, and the circular frame helps prevent cold or hot spots. Nomad Yurts also provides mini-split heating and air conditioning units. This helps keep the yurt at a comfortable temperature, allowing you to relax in a cooler environment after a hot day and offering warmth for cold nights.
Comfortable Furniture and Private Bathrooms
A base camp acts as a setting to relax at the end of the day and provides a safe place to sleep. Yurts fulfill this purpose by providing a couch, dining table, chairs, and a king-sized bed. This furniture offers comfortable spaces for quiet recreation, such as reading on the couch or playing cards or board games on the table. Some yurts also offer outdoor patio furniture and a fire pit, allowing you to watch the sunset or the stars while staying warm. A skylight offers indoor stargazing opportunities.
A yurt is able to provide modern conveniences, offering hot and cold water for showers and handwashing. Some rentals come with private bathrooms, providing a shower, toilet, and sink. This gives you a personal space to clean off sand and engage in daily hygiene routines, such as showering and brushing your teeth. The convenient location prevents you from having to walk to a public bathroom.
Some yurts come equipped with amenities such as pillows, blankets, and linens. Nomad Yurts also offers towels, soap, shampoo, and other toiletries for our guests. This prevents you from having to bring your own, freeing up space in your vehicle or bags.
Food Storage and Preparation Facilities
Yurts offer a secure place to store food for meals and snacks, providing an alternative to keeping food in a cooler or a tent. A mini-fridge helps keep food cold, such as fruit, and allows you to preserve leftovers. Some yurts also provide microwaves and farmhouse sinks. This allows you to prepare food in your yurts. A coffee maker allows you to make a warm beverage to sip while watching the sun rise. We provide complimentary snacks that you can eat while spending time in your yurt or while going on hikes.
Convenient Location to Nearby Activities
Depending on the location, yurts allow you the experience of staying in the desert, offering a convenient location near trails and other activities. This reduces travel time and allows you to spend more time participating in outdoor recreation. Outdoor recreational activities include:
- Hiking: Learn about local hikes in the area. Hikes near Lake Powell include Horseshoe Bend, Toadstools, Rainbow Bridge National Monument, and slot canyon tours.
- Water activities: Explore Lake Powell and other waterways by renting a kayak or paddleboard. You can also go fishing.
- Boat cruises: Explore canyons and see rock formations by taking a boat cruise. This includes formations such as Skylight Arch and Alstrom Point.
You can also visit nearby ghost towns or take guided tours to learn more about the history of the area. The Glen Canyon Dam tour offers information about the construction of the dam. We also provide on-site parking, giving easy access to your vehicle.
Safety Features
Renting a yurt provides protection from rain and severe weather conditions, and some rentals come equipped with safety features. Carbon monoxide and smoke detectors alert you in case of an emergency, allowing you to safely evacuate or take other measures. As an additional safety precaution, our yurt rentals come with exterior cameras to monitor the outside of your yurt. This setup allows you to stay in a more private location while taking appropriate precautions.
