A holiday with a difference! Tipis are offered in two different types of location, either in the community space of the village field, or seperately in spacious private clearings. The latter include some double sites where friends or family wish to be together.
The accomodation consists of medium (sleeps 2-3) and larger (sleeps 6) tipis, constructed along authentic North American lines of both unbleached and coloured canvas on a framework of locally sourced lodge poles. These visually stunning and magestic structures often reach over 18 feet in height and offer dimensions of up to 20 feet or more inside.
The site is in the heart of the Cornish countryside and very private, with the nearest village a couple of miles away. We have a warden living on site through the summer months who is on hand to help guests throughout their stay. Guests are welcome to swim and bathe in Tregildrans Lake, or fish for rainbow trout.
Staying in a canvas tipi with family or friends, living close to the earth and the rhythm of nature, is an extraordinary experience. It’s a mixture of old fashioned camping in a beautiful place, with a very modern desire to be more environmentally friendly than just about any other holiday could be. This is the place to explore the landscape of your imagination, the place of your childhood dreams, where you first found adventure, where fish splash in the lake at dawn and sparks rise from your campfire at dusk.
We are a small family company owned and managed by local Cornish couple Elizabeth Tom and Alan Berry, whose family have been farmers and quarrymen in the immediate area for 11 generations. We are committed to providing you with a genuinely individual service from first contact through to holiday experience that is both highly enjoyable and environmentally sustainable. We established CTH in 1997. This is the first and, we believe, still the best tipi holiday site in the UK. We know our area inside out and can always help with a little local knowledge or contacts if you need them.
We have 40 authentic style North American tipis made of cotton canvas on a framework of locally sourced wooden lodge poles, bound with twine and hessian rope. These majestic structures reach up to more than 18 feet high, giving you a generous living area. Compared to an ordinary tent, a tipi interior gives you an amazing sense of space and light. Every time you duck in or out of your tipi door you are aware of the sensation of moving through a different world – at times it’s a nomad’s tent, at others a ship on the high seas with the creak and slap of mast and sail – you decide…
Each tipi is fitted with an external hat to keep the rain out and is equipped inside with the basics you might need for your visit. You will find custom made groundsheets and warm Turkish rugs on the ground and lanterns on the poles.
Prices shown are for a medium tipi on the Vilage Field (not including headage charge), see our website for more sizes and prices.
