Staying in a Lake Powell hotel or yurt allows you the opportunity to participate in multiple outdoor experiences. Nomad Yurts provides private structures for a desert glamping experience. Here is more information on how to plan your stay at a Lake Powell yurt:
Deciding on Accommodations
Planning your trip includes booking your stay at a Lake Powell hotel or yurt. Perform research to find appropriate accommodations for your preferred travel style and location. For a glamping experience, check the nearby Lake Powell yurts. These allow you to stay near the desert landscape while providing easy access to modern conveniences.
Yurts refer to structures with fabric walls and wooden frames that act as a smaller cabin. A yurt offers protection against the wind, and the circular design and skylight allow for natural light to fill the space. The oversized circular setup offers more room to store luggage, and the private bathroom prevents you from having to share one with several families. Some yurts also have gas fire pits outside with a circular patio and furniture. This offers a comfortable space to watch the sunrise or the stars.
Staying at a themed yurt offers an alternative to standard accommodations. Nomad Yurts offers yurts with different themes: the Lotus, featuring Southeast Asia; the Mystic, displaying Moroccan designs; the Local, based on the American Southwest; and the Clockwork Oasis, which is inspired by the Industrial Era. This offers a unique experience for your vacation.

- Lake Powell cruises: A Lake Powell boat tour or cruise allows you to see unique rock formations and learn more about the local history. Options include the Rainbow Bridge tour and Antelope Canyon tour. For a romantic experience as part of a honeymoon, book a sunset cruise to enjoy fine dining.
- Slot canyon tours: A slot canyon tour provides an off-road trip and allows you to explore canyon passages. Some tours take you to the Horseshoe Bend Outlook, allowing you to photograph the view of the Colorado River. You can also see coyotes, foxes, and owls during the trip.
- Stargazing tours: The lack of light pollution keeps the sky near Lake Powell clear. Rainbow Bridge is an International Dark Sky space. Booking a stargazing tour offers an opportunity to learn more about the constellations.
Other recreational activities near Lake Powell include exploring the different ghost towns of Hite and Paria. During your downtime, you can play board or card games on the kitchen table in your yurt. At night, stargaze through the skylight or on your porch.
Researching Available Amenities
Checking your yurt’s available amenities allows you to see what will be provided during your stay. Some yurts come with a king-sized bed, providing a comfortable place to sleep, and offer bedding, towels, and toiletries, including soap and shampoo. This prevents you from having to bring your own, saving room in your luggage.
Knowing what food preparation units will be available helps you decide what type of food to bring. Nomad Yurts offers a farmhouse sink, microwave, coffee maker, and mini fridge. This allows you to store fresh food, including fruit and lunch meat. You can also prepare microwaved meals and snacks, such as popcorn.
Glamping also offers outlets and LED lighting. This makes it easier to charge phones and navigational equipment and prevents you from having to bring lanterns. Some yurts provide WiFi access, allowing you to watch a movie on a laptop or use your phone to coordinate bookings or check the weather.
When booking your accommodations, check to see if they offer parking. Having parking near your yurt makes it easier to unpack for your stay. It also allows you faster access to your car during travel days or during an emergency.
