Tutka Bay Yurt is located on the left side of Tutka Bay as you are traveling up the bay. You will pass under the power line that spans the bay and then the bay will narrow after a group of houses on the left. Hug the side after the narrows and look for a small cove with a triangular trail head marker at the top of the beach. The yurt is straight back from the beach past the fire ring follow the trail along the waters edge about 300 yards. don't go up the switch backed trail.Tutka Bay yurt is very quiet and scenic with a view of the water and across the bay where you might see whales. There is good fishing from the point and you can hike to alpine up the trail although it is very steep with scree at the top. The forest is healthy and there are berries in season.
The yurt is set up with 3 full size (each sleeps 2 friends) bunks set up around a central wood stove. We leave an axe and hand saw in the yurt and a one-burner propane camp stove and a pot to boil water.
There is a bear resistant food storage container on site. Please do not leave garbage in the container and wipe up any spills with the provided wipes. We ask that you cook on the fire ring to keep food smells out of the yurt. There is an outhouse on site, please do not put paper in the hole. Burn it or pack it out with you.
The yurt does lock so it is possible to accidentally lock yourself out. If this happens, just unzip the wall panel - the zipper is just to the right of the door under a velcro flap - reach in and unlock the doorknob.
There is basic safety equipment in the yurt. The yurt cover fabric is fire resistant as is the liner. We put a fire extinguisher in the yurt. There is a first aid kit and basic safety equipment, flares and noisemakers.
You will need to bring bedding and cooking utensils as well as water. There is not a reliable water source at this site. Water is found coming off the rocks at the beach. Go to the beach and listen and you will find it. The flow may dry up completely in mid to late summer. All fresh water in the park needs to be boiled for 15 minutes to be free of giarrdia. Avoid all this and bring your own water.We provide a weekly fire cutting service. If the firewood has been used in the cooking fires or bonfires there won't be any for the stove. Please only use the split firewood for the yurt stove.
Check -in and out is 12 pm. . The yurts are maintained once a week in the summer. Please sweep up and leave dry firewood inside for the next group.
Thank you for visiting Tutka Bay yurt and we hope that you enjoy your stay!
