It&#8217;s a great way to enjoy time outdoors and try different activities. Suttle Lake is <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a pristine alpine lake located not far from Sisters and only 37 miles from the town of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/sunriver-travel-guide\/\">Bend<\/a>. Tucked away inside Deschutes National Forest, Suttle Lake lies amidst a dense forest full of towering Ponderosa Pines in sunny Central Oregon. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1000401.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6999\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1000401-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Suttle Lake Yurt - suttle lake camping\" width=\"679\" height=\"510\" data-id=\"6999\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1000401.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1000401-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1000401-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Despite Suttle Lake&#8217;s reputation of being a great camping location for families, I was quite worried about the notion of taking my kids camping. Isn&#8217;t it strange the things we tell ourselves we can&#8217;t do? I was straight-up scared to be a single mom. (How come nobody ever mentions how awesome it is to be a single mom?) I wondered if I would still be able to do all the things we enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>For example, camping. Can I put a tent up by myself? What do we do if we get all the way out there and I can&#8217;t do it?<\/p>\n<p>Now, this may seem somewhat ridiculous, because for goodness sake, I know dang well I can put a tent up. I wanted to do something I&#8217;ve done so many other times with my kids. I wanted to take them camping, but still, that tent anxiety kept getting to me. So, instead of worrying about how I was going to put up the tent, I rented a yurt.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_79_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-693fb66c3c5a0\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-693fb66c3c5a0\" checked aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/camping-at-suttle-lake\/#What_is_a_yurt\" >What is a yurt?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/camping-at-suttle-lake\/#Suttle_Lake_Yurts\" >Suttle Lake Yurts<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/camping-at-suttle-lake\/#Suttle_Lake\" >Suttle Lake<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/camping-at-suttle-lake\/#Suttle_Lake_Bathrooms\" >Suttle Lake Bathrooms<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/camping-at-suttle-lake\/#Things_to_do_near_Suttle_Lake\" >Things to do near Suttle Lake<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_yurt\"><\/span>What is a yurt?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Until recently, I didn&#8217;t know much about yurts.

We got lucky because this particular lake only has 3 yurts.<\/p>\n<p>Suttle Lake is a small lake near Sisters Oregon found off Hwy 20, about 10 miles southeast of the Santiam Summit. Their yurts have a bunk bed, as seen in the photo below, with one bed on top and the bottom. There was also a futon couch that could sleep another two people, a coffee table, a dining table, and a wood-burning stove. Of course, the best part was that I did not have to put together or break down a tent! I just opened the door and we were practically set!

If there are enough beds, you will not need air mattresses either.<\/p>\n<p>Outside our yurt, we had a picnic table and a fire pit, so we were still able to roast marshmallows and make s&#8217;mores (an essential part of camping of course). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1000406.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7001\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1000406-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Suttle Lake Yurt\" width=\"671\" height=\"504\" data-id=\"7001\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1000406.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1000406-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/P1000406-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 671px) 100vw, 671px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Suttle_Lake\"><\/span><strong>Suttle Lake<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Suttle Lake is great for many reasons, but if I&#8217;m honest, I never would have come here if my friends hadn&#8217;t invited me.
