Yurt campsite
Guest rating: 4.0 / 5
Overview
Yurt campsite is a cozy, riverside camping-style stay in Connecticut, positioned as a simple getaway by the water. The setup is oriented around an outdoor, relaxed experience rather than a traditional hotel, and it is listed as smoke-free and pet-friendly. Public rating is 4/5 based on 2 reviews.
Camping setup
The campsite is described as having a small tent and a larger tent shelter, with an air mattress and tents shown in photos included with the booking. Guests are asked to bring their own bedding, blankets, and pillows. A new yurt tent was ordered with an estimated arrival in mid-to-end July (timing may affect what structure is available during a stay).
Amenities & outdoor features
On-site features include a kitchen, a patio, and free parking. Outdoor cooking and gathering are supported by a charcoal grill and a fire pit. A full bathroom is available via the community center for added convenience compared with more remote campsites.
Nearby dining & local options
Nearby options include Wood River Golf and The 11th Green Restaurant and Pub (about 607 m away), plus dining choices such as The Nordic (about 7.6 km), Double Barrel Steak (about 6.7 km), and Wood River Bar & Grill (about 7.6 km). Additional nearby restaurants include Tavern 265, Cinder Restaurant, Jake's Restaurant, Alaina’s Ale House, The Middle of Nowhere Diner, and Dan's Place (pizza).
Airports & access
Several airports are in the broader region: Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport is about 38.978 km away, while Bradley International Airport, Martha's Vineyard Airport (MVY), Worcester Regional Airport, and Tweed New Haven Airport are roughly 92–100 km away. Travelers should plan on driving to reach the campsite and to access most nearby dining.
Best for
This property best suits travelers who want a simple, outdoors-focused stay by the water, with key comforts like access to a full bathroom in a community center. It’s also a fit for road-trippers and pet owners thanks to free parking, a smoke-free environment, and pet-friendly policies. Couples or solo travelers looking for a low-key fire-pit-and-grill evening may find the setup especially appealing.
Travel tips
Bring your own bedding, blankets, and pillows, since the tents/air mattress are included but linens are not. If your stay depends on a specific structure, confirm what is set up on-site, as a new yurt tent was noted as expected to arrive mid-to-end July. Plan to drive: the closest listed airport is Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport (about 39 km), and most dining options are several kilometers away.
What guests say
The property holds a public rating of 4/5 from a small sample of 2 reviews. No guest review excerpts were provided, so specific recurring positives or negatives (such as cleanliness, noise, host communication, or comfort) are not documented here. Based on the listing details, likely discussion points for guests include the riverside setting, the outdoor fire pit and charcoal grill, and the convenience of a full bathroom in the community center. Another practical theme may be the bring-your-own-bedding requirement and what exact shelter (tent vs. new yurt) is available at the time of stay.
