Tipi people is not wearing boots or shoes inside the Tipi Lodge. We sleep and sit on the floor of the Tipi and it needs to be kept clean, it is also an act of respect which is mindful of your surroundings. Much of Tipi life is carried out outside the Tipi, washing up, cooking and eating (in fine weather) and we leave plenty of space around your Tipi for playing and socialising.

Wolf Glen Tipis in Scotlandthey make top quality authentic Tipis (See: Links page). Covers and linings are made from heavy-duty, 12oz coated cotton tenting canvas. The poles are cut from local sustainably managed plantations, using timbers such as Norway spruce, Sitka spruce and Scots pine when available. The poles are selected, stripped and sanded to a smooth finish. The Tipis are erected following the traditional Sioux 3-pole construction. The construction of the Tipi and lining means that tipis are cosy and warm in winter and offer a cool shade in the summer. Providing the perfect Lake District camping experience.

A structure that requires a hole in the middle of the roof may not be the best shelter in times of intense rain, but there are strategies to reduce the problem. A hide or fabric ceiling can protect against dripping precipitation and reduce drafts. This ceiling, when used, typically only covers the back half of the Tipi and is slanted slightly upwards to the front, draining water to the rear and allowing smoke from the fire to vent out of the top of the Tipi. Small sticks between the lining rope and the poles can create a gap for rainwater running down the poles to reach the ground without being caught by and dripping off of the lining rope. Contemporary Tipi dwellers may tie a bucket beneath the crown, or install rubber barriers on the poles and a canvas rain catcher which drains from the crown to the outside, to collect rain dripping off the crown of the poles.

A fabric rain cap has now been placed over the top of the Tipi . Historically these types of coverings were not used but if the British weather has necessitated in us putting them on!

The Tipis are fully weather proofed, they have an internal liner, groundsheet, carpet and decorative rugs, they also have a rain catcher attached to the poles at the top of the Tipi if it should rain the rain flows down the poles then collects in the rain catcher and is drained off at the back of the lining.

The designs on the tipis come from Native North American Indian symbols usually of animals, dream sequences or to show the status of the owner. Sizes refer to the typical diameter of the floor space.



Sorry but we don't accept dogs or any pets in our Tipis.
