Tipis, open campfires and Cornish trout fishing are some of the elements which make Cornish Tipis an exceptional campsite. A five minute drive away from spectacular Cornish coastline, the 40 traditional North American tipis are spread over 16 acres of picturesque nature, situated around the old Tregildrans Quarry. The site was designed for campers to get back to "real camping" and offers something unique and is perfect for romantics. The Tipis were carefully designed to emulate the real thing, standing 18 ft high, surprisingly spacious and airy. The locally sourced wooden-frame is covered with cotton canvas, making the structure sturdy and breathable, whilst also being designed to be 100 percent waterproof. The living area inside the tipi can best be described as comfortable and well-provided for!
This area of Cornwall, which is renowned for its outstanding beauty, offers a wide range of activities. The old quarry lake is great for swimming in, that is if you don’t mind the resident rainbow trout. There are also loads of walking routes in the area, including a nearby coastal path. Night time calls for a rustic campfire and a spot of stargazing outside your Tipi. Open from March until October, but best experienced in the summer, when Cornwall can be pleasantly hot.
