The Oregon coast does not disappoint, either in its grand, rocky vistas and pounding surf or — for many days of the year - in its impressive, gale-force storms. It is this awe-inspiring weather that draws many to the shore, and yet, at least for die-hard tent-campers, it is just this weather that makes coastal bivouacs a challenge. Nearly 16 years ago, however, planners at Oregon State Parks came up with a solution. Fourteen coastal campgrounds now offer tidy, modern versions of the traditional round Mongolian yurt, used by pastoral nomads on the steppes of central Asia for generations. These yurts allow recreational nomads to roll up their tents and instead enjoy a dry, comfortable night's sleep.
