Oregon has become a go-to destination for outdoor enthusiasts looking to experience recreational activities with their pets. However, it can be difficult to find dog friendly lodging if you’re planning a few extra days exploring the inspiring landscapes of The Northwest. Many hotels have unfriendly pet policies, and some even charge exorbitant fees just to have your dog come along. But don’t resign yourself to calling up the pet-sitter yet.  

Oregon State Parks offer dozens of pet-friendly Pacific Yurts that makes it easy for pet owners to find affordable and comfortable lodging all over the state. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker conquering Neahkahnie Mountain, or looking to take a leisurely stroll through Tumalo State Park, here are a few pet-friendly Pacific Yurt rentals at some of our favorite Oregon State Parks.
