Camping in a tipi tent

Sleeping like a Native American in a tipi tent is a unique experience you won’t soon forget. The terms "tipi" and "wigwam" are often used interchangeably, but there is a key difference: they are made from different materials. The tipi was originally a cone-shaped tent used primarily as a dwelling by Native Americans. Its wooden frame, covered with animal hides or canvas, was easy to set up and take down when tribes needed to move.

What is a tipi tent?

A tipi tent has a cone-shaped structure and is typically made from durable canvas. Its slanted walls allow wind and rain to slide off easily in bad weather. Tipis also offer surprising amounts of space, both in height and width, making for a comfortable stay. The shape also promotes good air circulation, keeping the interior pleasantly cool in the summer months.

A tipi tent is more than just a place to sleep—it’s an experience. It allows you to step away from modern life and return to a simpler way of living, one that is deeply connected to nature. Camping in a tipi tent is a great way to truly unwind and feel like you’re escaping daily life. For children especially, it’s an unforgettable adventure!
