We are excited to offer this amazing tipi camping experience on our working horse property. The tipi design is the basic Sioux design; the makers of our tipi were chosen to provide all the tipis for the movie Dances with Wolves because of their respect for authenticity and excellent craftsmanship. The tipi is 18' W x 15' H. Inside, it is roughly 16' in diameter and 13'2" high. It has a 6' entrance with a zippered door and mosquito mesh. There is mosquito netting around the top smoke flaps and a critter guard mesh that covers the bottom circumference where the tipi and floor meet. To keep things warm on those chilly nights or take the edge off the crisp morning air, there is a small wood pellet stove inside. There is a queen-size futon and plenty of space to sleep on the floor with your own sleeping bags or cots. The maximum occupancy is 6 people. The campsite setup is a mixture of Indigenous and Cowboy Western culture. It features a dining area close to the tipi with a picnic table. You can relax at the fire pit area beside the Kampfire Cauldron (handmade on-site!) and enjoy cookouts, campfires, and great conversations with friends and family while listening to the calm waters of Giles Brook a few feet away. Firewood is included in your stay. An outhouse is also located nearby, so you don’t have to entirely "rough it." Potable water can be provided if you do not bring your own. Local activities include: hiking trails, parks, lakes, horseback rides, kayaking, fishing, motorsports, relaxing by the creek on-site, axe throwing, range, skiing/tubing, and so much more!Tipi site #1 is situated in a grass/sand field and forest with a wide wooden walking bridge over a brook/water to access camping. Tipi sleeps six people: queen futon, floor mat room for four sleeping bags. Parking is available within a short walk of site over grass path, be prepared to carry gear a short distance to site. Tipi campsite is a flat forested area on the banks of Giles Brook, perfect for wading, floating, shallow swimming and small trout fishing. Guests will enjoy 4 acres to themselves, but please note there may be one neighbor or another group visible as it is a working equine ranch; we always promote camper privacy. There is a main NH Route 10 access, and cars can be heard during the day/early evening. Guests will have access to a clean Port-a-Potty toilet. No shower on site. There are no electric/water hookups at this site. Guests will need to be self-contained, deposit waste in bin provided and leave no trace. This is a forest camping area and wildlife are present at any time (deer, moose, coyote, bear, otter, owls/hawks, beaver, etc.). Site does have cell service depending on the carrier. Pet friendly (on leash, nondestructive, waste bags provided). For all info: https://thunder-k.com

Early Spring Tipi Stay

With pets ·

Tipi Camping Forest/Ranch View

We had the BEST experience staying at Jess and Danyell's place - the tipi was everything we could have dreamed and the land was picturesque. A sparkling creek, horses in the pasture, a little wooden bridge, campfire area, picnic table, grill, and convenient (and clean!!) porta potty. The tipi was clean and the bed was so comfortable. We had a solid night's sleep listening to the sound of wildlife and the nearby creek. We had the pleasure of riding horses around the property, which was something we'll always remember fondly. We will definitely be back and recommend it 1000%. Jess and Danyell were the best hosts and made sure we felt comfortable and right at home.
