Features

    • Tipi site #16-17 are seasonal accommodations available May Long – September Long weekend.
    • Each site has access to a building that hosts a private full-serviced bathroom and a full-serviced enclosed cook-house.

    Maximum capacity per tipi is 4 people.

    • If you’re looking to experience that “oneness with nature” then sleeping in a tipi is for you. Lodgepole pine poles, a canvas covering, and a raised deck under your feet that helps keep the interior area clean and dry.
    • There are 4 single raised platform beds with mattresses for you to sleep on that may be re-arranged.
    • Tipis are an adventure. There is an opening at the top where the tipi poles extend out of the tipi and the doors are not weather or bug proof. When it rains water naturally runs down the inside of the poles and may drip down on the beds. The best way to avoid this is by moving your bed between the poles. Unfortunately we can’t guarantee that you won’t get wet.
ACCESSIBILITY
  • 1 accessible, private shower in Registration Building
