Join us for an alternative camping experience in the wonderful Lake District.

“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.
You can use 4 Winds Lake District Tipis for a summer camping holiday with the kids, for small group accommodation, for a long weekend or a honeymoon with a difference. Whatever the event 4 Winds will ensure to make the occasion a memorable one.

“Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.”

- says Jim Hightower The New York Times, March 9, 1986.


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.





All around is the Sacred Hoop of all life.
In front, behind, to the left, and to the right.
These are the powers of the four directions.
