We encourage our readers at http://www.campingkddios.com to try yurts out as a great way to enjoy the Oregon coast as a family. I learned a lot from your yurt history.
Thanks!

We just erected our 30′ foot yurt from Pacific Yurts and I can tell you I have wondered many times that the history of the company is.. You have been around for 34 years, so I am sure that it is a good one! You should make a post about how the company started!

I am one of the few up here in the Adirondacks that has a yurt, in fact I only know of one other one. We documented our installation here:

I can’t tell you how much fun this has been and how excited we are to have our own yurt! I wish you guys would show these things off up here to those in power of the state parks. I am sure they would bu just as successful.

I interviewed Craig while I was working on my book “YURTS: Living in the Round.” As we were getting up to leave the restaurant in Salem, Oregon, a couple at the table next to us stopped us.

“We couldn’t help overhearing you talking about yurts,” they said. “We want you to know that yurts have enabled us to go camping, something we didn’t think we’d be able to do again. We love the yurts!” The man was in a wheelchair.

I’ve heard this story in other places–because State Park yurts are handicapped accessible, people in wheelchairs are able to enjoy a camping experience that might not be possible otherwise, and do so in comfort.

Thanks for your work and your vision to make all of this possible!
