Our Tipis

We have two sizes of tipi available. Our 14-foot tipis accommodate up to 3 people and the 18-foot tipis will sleep up to 6 people. Bookings are available all year round.

Our tipis are made in the UK, each hand crafted from 15oz Waterproof canvas perfect for use in the Lake District. They all come complete with a liner for extra comfort and a rain catcher so even the wettest of weather will not put a dampener on your camping trip!

Each tipi is constructed using the three-pole method, the remaining poles being laid on the structure to give the tipi its shape, all securely anchored to the ground. Finally the canvas is lifted onto the frame and laced together in the authentic way. Once the smoke flaps are in position and the tipi is pegged down it is now ready for your unique camping experience.
