I stayed in September 2024 and enjoyed by stay very much. Luckily, the week was not too hot and a fan offered air movement. Two of the yurts offer electricity but it's all on one wall (I brought an extension cord). The third yurt is handicap accessible but no electricity. No plumbing in any of the yurts but community bathhouse is within walking distance and stayed clean. Water pressure in showers was very nice. Yurts have an outdoor fire pit with grate but no water hydrant outside either. You will need to tote water from the bathhouse for your use. Mattress was firm but doable. The yurts are furnished with small table/chairs, Q Bed, sofa and chairs, coffee table. Windows you can open. The yurt I was in did not offer a blind or window coverage on the door but nothing a towel didn't take care of. And yes, real doors that have a code to get it.
