“Creature comforts have taken much of the grit out of sleeping under canvas”

“The tipis are large and eye-catching, and almost as well-equipped as a top-end mobile home with a cooker, barbecue, mattresses, lanterns and a tribal headdress or two to get you in the mood.”
- says Andrew Eames reporter with the Daily Express.

Camping in a Tipi (Teepee or Wigwam as they are often called) is a truly unique way to lessen your carbon footprint whilst visiting the Lake District.

When the sunshine filters through the canvas or the candlelight flickers across the tall majestic poles supporting this traditional dwelling you will feel a tangible sense of a simpler existence. The ethos of the North American Indian was to be at one with Grandmother Earth and to respect nature at 4 Winds we also adhere to this ethos.

New for 2009. For extra comfort we have added a comfortable double futon bed, portable gas heater and outdoor picnic table and bench set to all our 18ft tipis.

You can use a 4 Winds Lake District Tipis camping location (See: Locations page) for group accommodation, for a long weekend, a honeymoon with a difference, a summer camping holiday with the kids, for celebrations of any kind or to enjoy one of our themed events (See: Events page).

When in the Lake District you can walk in the tracks of our famous devotees such as Beatrix Potter, John Ruskin and William Wordsworth (See: Lake District page)

A 4 Winds Lakeland Tipi camping holiday offers you the chance to experience the Lake District from a truly original approach.

COOL CAMPING AT ITS BEST! 4 WINDS LAKELAND TIPIS are featured in the new book COOL CAMPING KIDS which is on sale from today.
