Elephant Rock Nature Park is a beautiful hideaway for those seeking a quiet escape from the pressures of everyday life or those just wanting to relax in nature. Nestled within 210 acres of Ozark woodlands, Elephant Rock Nature Park is laced with hiking trails and beautiful overlooks of Oklahoma's crown jewel of waterways, the Illinois River. Elephant Rock also provides private access to the river along with peaceful, shaded and clean campsites. Guided treks and float trips are available as well.

Each yurt features air conditioning and heating, a full kitchen complete with cookware and utensils, a bathroom with a shower, two full-size beds and a full-size futon.
