Moenkopi Yurts sit inside Dead Horse Point State Park, just off UT-313 outside Moab. This is one of the park's two yurt options, and unlike its counterpart, Moenkopi allows pets, making it a practical pick for couples or families traveling with a dog.
The park itself is known for its canyon overlooks, high desert terrain, and miles of primitive hiking and mountain biking trails marked by cairns. Staying overnight here comes with a real perk: guests with a camping or yurt reservation can remain in the park past the 10 p.m. day-use closure, which matters a lot given Dead Horse Point's status as an International Dark Sky Park. Stargazing from the yurt is a genuine draw, and sunrise or sunset over the canyon walls is often described as the park's signature moment.
Wi-Fi is available, though it's worth noting that the main connectivity point is the Visitor Center rather than the yurt itself, so don't expect strong signal right at the site. Pets are welcome at Moenkopi but must stay leashed at all times, including within the campground, and cannot be left in vehicles.
Bookings run through Reserve America, and the price tier is on the affordable end. Hours for the park run 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, with the Visitor Center open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. For questions before booking, the park's visitor center line is (435) 259-2614. Nearby, Arches and Canyonlands National Parks make for easy day trips if you're staying multiple nights.
Good to know
- Can I bring my dog to Moenkopi Yurts?
- Yes. Moenkopi Yurts are pet friendly, unlike the park's Wingate Yurts. Pets must stay leashed at all times, including in the campground, and cannot be left in vehicles.
- How do I book a stay?
- Reservations for Moenkopi Yurts are made through Reserve America.
- Is there Wi-Fi at the yurt?
- Wi-Fi is listed as available, though the park notes it's primarily accessible at the Visitor Center, so confirm signal strength at the yurt itself with the park directly.
- Can I stay out late for stargazing?
- Yes. The park closes to day-use visitors at 10 p.m., but guests with a yurt or camping reservation can stay in the park beyond that time, which is useful since Dead Horse Point is an International Dark Sky Park.
- What's nearby if I want to explore beyond the park?
- Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park are both close by and make for easy day trips during a stay.
