Moenkopi Yurts

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.
