4 Winds Lakeland Tipis currently operates from Low Wray National Trust Campsite in the beautiful English Lake District. The site was chosen for the views, woodland areas, natural environment and basic and functional facilities. We have brought Native American style into the heart of the Lakes.

Sorry but we can no longer accept dogs in our tipis.



Low Wray Campsite - Ambleside, Cumbria - Location details.

Our new site is the Low Wray National Trust Campsite, close to Ambleside and to the North of Lake Windermere. Within view of the historic and magnificent Low Wray Castle.

Watch the sun rise over England's largest lake and enjoy the magnificent views across the water to Wansfell Pike and The Fairfield Horseshoe. Situated on the western shore of Windermere, Low Wray is the perfect base for a whole range of outdoor activities. There are opportunities for gentle walks and great off-road biking from the campsite. The quiet country lanes will also prove attractive to cycle tourers. Low Wray is an ideal base for lovers of watersports including windsurfers, canoeists and dinghy sailors, with on-site access for launching. Please note however that there is no access for powered craft. The Setting
The Tipis are situated within the main campsite but have a designated area next to the river that flows into the Lake. To protect the natural beauty of the sites, parking is available in designated areas away from Tipi pitches. On Site Facilities

We hope that you understand the need for these simple rules and that they are for the benefit of all who stay at the campsites. What 'They' Said In 2008!
“Stepping out of our tipi early morning with the mist rolling off Lake Windermere below, switching on the piping hot shower and standing in a cedar- scented steam, enjoying the woodland view - pure bliss. We have stayed in a lot of luxury hotels over the years and none of them come close to matching your shower facilities. We will definitely be back.”

- The Troup Family - 2008.


“I just wanted to say a very delayed thank you for our stay at the tipis last month. We all had a great time and I still think Adrian is in shock! They made a fantastic venue for a chilled out 30th birthday party and I've been recommending them to lots of friends!”

- Lucy - 2008.


“Just to say we had a lovely time in the tipi, Thanks for all of your help in organising what turned out to be a lovely weekend.”

- Gemma - 2008.
