Spring has officially sprung—and with it comes longer days, blooming wildflowers, and the irresistible call of the great outdoors. While tents and camper vans might be the usual go-to for an overnight under the stars, there’s another option that brings a touch of magic and nostalgia to your next spring getaway: camping in a tipi.
Tipis offer a one-of-a-kind experience that blends simplicity with soul. Rooted in Indigenous design and refined over generations, tipis are built to breathe with the seasons. In spring, when chilly mornings give way to warm afternoons, the natural ventilation of a tipi keeps you comfortable. The circular layout feels cozy yet spacious, and the soaring ceiling connects you to the sky above—perfect for those dreamy early season stargazing nights.
There’s something special about waking up in a tipi as the spring world comes alive. Birds start their morning chorus, the air carries the scent of fresh earth and budding blooms, and light filters in through the tipi’s smoke flap in a way that makes you feel part of the landscape. Whether you’re perched near a mountain meadow or tucked into the trees by a river, springtime in a tipi is like stepping into your own little nature retreat.
Many tipis used for modern camping are equipped with creature comforts like raised beds, rugs, lanterns, and even wood stoves for those cool spring evenings. But they still offer that rustic charm that lets you unplug and reconnect—with nature, with your travel buddies, or just with yourself.
Pro tip: bring layers! Spring weather can shift quickly, and the inside of a tipi adjusts with the elements. A cozy blanket, your favorite camp mug, and a good book go a long way.
One of the best parts about tipi camping? The evenings. Imagine settling in around a crackling campfire, sipping something warm, and watching the stars emerge while your tipi glows gently in the background. It’s not just camping—it’s an experience. One that lets you slow down and soak up the season in all its muddy-boot, marshmallow-toastin’, moon-watching glory.
Spring is a time of renewal—and what better way to shake off the winter blues than with a tipi adventure? Whether you’re planning a weekend away or adding a unique stay to a road trip, tipis are a memorable way to experience the outdoors from a whole new angle.
So pack your sleeping bag, grab your sense of wonder, and head out to where the grass is growing greener and the tipis are waiting.
