Yurt camping is one of the signature ways to sleep on the Washington coast: a round canvas-and-frame shelter with a real bed, a roof against the marine drizzle, and the dunes a short walk away. Around Grayland, the yurts belong to the state parks. Grayland Beach State Park, about two miles up WA-105, and Twin Harbors State Park, about seven miles north toward Westport, both rent yurts that book months ahead for summer weekends and clamming openings.
If the state-park yurts are full, or you want a roof with full hookups and on-site amenities nearby, Kenanna RV Resort by RJourney sits right in the middle of it at 2959 WA-105. Kenanna does not rent yurts, but it offers pet-friendly cabins, designated tent sites, and full-hookup RV sites in the same coastal-rainforest setting, two miles from Grayland Beach. Here is how to plan a unique outdoor stay near Grayland, whether you land in a state-park yurt or a Kenanna cabin.
Where to Find Yurts Near Grayland, WA
The yurts in the Grayland area belong to the Washington State Parks. Kenanna RV Resort does not rent yurts, but it sits two miles from the closest state-park yurts and offers pet-friendly cabins as an on-site roofed alternative. Here is how the yurt options stack up.
Grayland Beach State Park Yurts (about 2 miles)
Grayland Beach State Park is the closest yurt option to Kenanna, about two miles up WA-105, and the only one where you can hear the surf from your site. Yurts sit behind the dunes with a short trail to the beach. They book months ahead for summer weekends and around clamming openings, so reserve early through Washington State Parks. Leashed pets are allowed; there is no dedicated dog park.
Twin Harbors State Park Yurts (about 7 miles)
Twin Harbors State Park, about seven miles north toward Westport, also rents yurts and cabins alongside the region’s largest tent loop. The forested setting offers more shade and wind protection than the dune-side sites at Grayland Beach. It is a strong fallback if Grayland Beach yurts are booked. Reserve through Washington State Parks.
Kenanna Cabins: The On-Site Alternative
If the state-park yurts are full, Kenanna’s pet-friendly cabins give you a built roof in the same coastal-rainforest setting, two miles from Grayland Beach, plus on-site laundry, WiFi, a dog park, and full hookups if you later travel by RV. It is the closest thing to a yurt stay you can book directly at Kenanna, with more on-site amenities than a state-park yurt.

Kenanna RV Resort by RJourney
Kenanna RV Resort sits at 2959 WA-105 in Grayland, on the stretch of Pacific coast between Westport’s fishing fleet to the north and Tokeland’s oyster bay to the south, two miles from Grayland Beach State Park. Kenanna does not rent yurts, but for travelers who want a roof rather than a tent, it offers pet-friendly cabins alongside designated tent sites and full-hookup RV sites, all in the rainforest setting that surrounds the park. A dedicated dog park, a half-mile rainforest loop trail, on-site firewood and propane, park-wide WiFi, and laundry round out the property. The single in-and-out driveway gives the park a quieter, more private feel than the busier beach towns up and down WA-105, which is why guests describe it as an easy base whether they are clamming, crabbing, or whale-watching.
Sites & Hookups
Kenanna’s stay types are full-hookup RV sites, designated tent sites, and cabins. There are no yurts on-site; for a yurt, the area state parks below are the option. Every RV site is full hookup with water, sewer, and 20/30/50-amp electric. The park-data export lists both pull-through and back-in sites. Coastal weather means you will use heat more often than AC. Extra vehicles can park in an unoccupied site for a $10 fee, subject to availability. The single in-and-out driveway funnels in from WA-105, a layout guests mention by name in reviews for the lower-stakes feel when leaving a site for the day.
What's On-Site
Kenanna’s amenities run to what coastal-Washington travelers actually use. Full hookups at every RV site, park-wide WiFi, laundry, restrooms and showers, and a picnic table at every site. A playground for kids and a dedicated dog park for off-leash time. The on-site signature is the rainforest walking trail, a roughly half-mile loop that heads west through coastal rainforest and U-turns back. Firewood is sold at the office (local-only is the rule on the WA coast) and propane is available on-site, sparing a run into Westport or Raymond. Horseshoes and seasonal access to clamming, crabbing, and fishing are minutes away. The most-asked check-in question is whether campfires are allowed; they are, and chilly coastal evenings make them practically nightly.
What Guests Say
4.5 stars across 371 Google reviews. Guests cite the rainforest trail and the coastal setting first: the contrast between the Pacific beach two miles away and the rainforest surrounding the park is the standout. Darcy and the team draw repeat praise for going beyond the expected, with guests describing staff who notice a loose hookup or a low tire and fix it before anyone asks. Some families have held reunions here since the kids were small. What guests flag: peak summer fills fast (the state park nearby, where the yurts are, fills first), coastal damp is constant, and cell service varies by carrier. The most common check-in questions are whether campfires are allowed (yes) and where the closest beach access is (about 1.9 miles either direction).

Grayland Beach State Park
The closest yurt camping to Kenanna and the only area campground where you can hear the waves from your site. Yurts sit behind the dunes with a short trail to the beach.

Twin Harbors State Park
The larger of the two area state park campgrounds, with yurts, cabins, and the biggest tent-site capacity in the region, which makes it a strong fallback if Grayland Beach yurts are booked. Hookup sites are small with a 35-foot maximum length, so larger RVs may have difficulty. The forested setting offers more shade and wind protection than the dune-side sites at Grayland Beach. Leashed dogs are welcome on trails and the beach. Visit website.
Tips for Yurt and Cabin Camping Near Grayland
