About Cornish Tipi Holidays
The site is in a peaceful woodland valley surrounding a clear, spring-fed lake where guests can enjoy fishing, wild swimming and boating. It includes 20 acres of woodland full of ferns, bluebells, oak and meadowsweet creating a truly special atmosphere whether you choose to stay in the tipis or camp. The Meadow is the main camping area, offering non electric grass tent, campervan and caravan pitches, each allowing up to six people. This area is also home to the wedding marquee so is ideal for more festival-style camping as music can sometimes be heard until late, with the cafe also nearby. If you are wanting more peace and quiet, opt for one of the almost wild pitches. Located away from the main area, these pitches are great for those wanting to be immersed in nature. For those who prefer glamping, enjoy a stay in one of the sites North American style tipis. All come equipped with the basics, including groundsheets, warm rugs, and fairy lights. Guests will need to bring their own bedding and airbed or camping mattress if they want to be extra comfy. Tipis in the Village Field are left plain inside for you to add a nice comfy airbed or similar for your tipi adventure.
