Why not try something different!

Our Tipi Tents are available from May until the end of September and have uninterrupted views of the river Eden. The Tipis are made from cotton and have a raised decking area.

We ask that no cooking is done inside the Tipi and any barbecues must be on the Grass, not on the decking.

You need to bring everything to camp but not the tent. There is an electric supply to the Tipi, but no heating or lighting is provided.

Check in from 3pm, and we ask you to leave your Tipi by 11am on the day of departure.

We would appreciate the traditional way of removing shoes when entering the Tipi, and please leave it as you found it.

Sorry no dogs or candles are allowed inside our Tipis.

A short but pleasant stay

Smith, Craig - 28/10/2025

Nice site. The owners were away when we arrived we never saw them (it was late in the season and the site was very quiet so understandable). The facilities are great but we had a bit of a struggle working out where everything was without the owners to help us and the map on the wall was confusing. A lovely part of the country and great views.

Peaceful and well equipped

Manship, Stephen - 30/09/2025

I was made to feel very welcome. The site is well laid out with lots of smaller fields so you are not on top of one another. Good play areas for children, wifi barn, kitchen and honesty shop are all above average.

2 night stay

We were told on the information board that we were on pitch 11. Unfortunately it took us a white to find the pitch which was near an already parked caravan. Thankfully no one was staying in the caravan. We know it’s nearing the end of the season but we would have liked the grass to have been cut. Otherwise the facilities were very good. We appreciated the information of visiting a garden centre.

We have been to Mains Farm before and we will be back.Pros: Free wifi (but only in the wifi room), lovely surroundings, nearby pub/resaurant.Cons: There is a lack of lighting to help you go to the toilet during the night.
