Teepee Tents in Scotland

Teepee tents are often handcrafted, with natural wooden poles, pegs and cotton canvas covers. They're also known as tipi, kata and lavvu, and have a rich history among Native American and Sami populations.

These pre-pitched traditional tents are based more closely on the Native American designs - taller in height than the Sami Lavvu (or Kata).

Teepees are environmentally-friendly accommodation. With a low environmental impact, allowing you to appreciate Scottish nature at its most authentic. Book a teepee holiday and enjoy a unique experience in Scotland's great outdoors.

In traditional Native American cultures, a wigwam is a domed-shaped dwelling. The wigwams in Scotland today are closer to a cosy timber cabin. Built for the 21st century, these wigwams in Scotland are fully insulated and have a basic sleeping space alongside our modern essentials - including the kitchen sink!

Escape to the country and spend a romantic weekend getaway or enjoy a memorable short break with the family in one of these wigwam glamping sites. Relax surrounded by Scotland's stunning nature or get cosy in your cabin after a day spent exploring.

What to Expect

The facilities at tipis and wigwams vary between sites, but here are some examples of what you might find:

Tipis with spacious and bright interiors filled with colourful Afghan rugs and cosy sheepskins.
Some models of tipi have a vent at the top meaning that campfires can be lit within the tipi itself.
Wigwams with clever, functional design to maximise space. Top-of-the-range models come with electrical sockets, kitchenettes, TVs and more.
Self-catering kitchen essentials, such as cooking utensils, plates and cutlery.
Luxury wigwams and teepees - some accommodation will have hot tubs and ensuite bathroom facilities, and some hosts might offer special hampers, breakfasts and BBQ packs filled with local produce.
Pet and dog friendly – teepees and wigwams are often a great option if you want to explore Scotland with a furry friend.
