Cornish Tipi Holidays

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. A greener holiday - we want to offer our guests a really sustainable holiday. A return to real camping means the lowest possible impact on the land and environment. Our carbon footprint is so low that our tipi poles don’t even break the surface of the earth.
