Glamping in fully furnished, traditional tipis. A ten minute drive to the coast and 20 minutes to Eastbourne!

About Big Sky Tipi Holidays

Big Sky Tipi Holidays offers a slice of traditional canvas living in fully furnished tipis, tucked into the East Sussex countryside ten minutes from the coast and twenty from Eastbourne. Guests praise the warm welcome and peaceful setting, with families particularly appreciating the relaxed, dog-friendly vibe and the chance to unplug completely — there's no WiFi, which adds to the back-to-basics charm.

The tipis themselves are well-equipped and cosy, and the site strikes a nice balance between simplicity and comfort. Showers, toilets and drinking water keep things practical, while the location makes it easy to explore the South Downs or nip down to the beach. A few visitors mention that facilities can feel a touch basic if you're after more bells and whistles, but for those after a straightforward, nature-focused escape, it delivers.

What a wonderful glamping site! We’ve just returned from a weekend there as a group of five families with young kids (ages 4-8). The tipis are large and comfy and have everything you could need. And the site is huge with lots of space for kids to run around. The woodland is a magical place. Nearby the observatory and castle and great, and easily walkable outings. We’re already talking about going back

Had a lovely 2 days at Big Sky Tipi’s. Sarah was great throughout the experience. Very helpful & kind. Wonderful walks from the camp site right on the 1066 walk. Very dog friendly. Bathrooms super clean & hot showers. Camp fires at night roasting marshmallows ……perfect!

What a special place! Sarah and Geoff were so friendly, a welcome change from recent hotel stays that was much appreciated. They thought of everything, from fridge space to extra blankets and a light that illuminated the gorgeous inside of the tipi. We absolutely loved the themed illustrations on each tipi, beautifully designed by different independent artists, and the accessible bathroom was the most beautiful I’ve ever been to as a wheelchair user! It is extraordinarily difficult to find accommodation that is wheelchair friendly and pet friendly, and although I was incredibly skeptical about being frozen overnight, this was the most pleasant stay, I felt as cozy as a freshly baked cinnamon bun! I loved learning more about the Sioux Indians especially as I’m currently reading Braiding Sweetgrass which is all about Indigenous wisdom. We were also delighted to be able to take advantage of eggs from their rescue hens, and if you’d like them, a smores kit, bacon, and sausages are also available! Regarding wheelchair access: There are step free tipis available, but should you stay in one that isn’t like we did, be reassured the two steps leading to the entrance are shallow. The terrain is a bit tricky to navigate, particularly just before the accessible loo where there is a dip, but other than installing some sort of deck particularly for wheelchairs to traverse I’m not sure that can be helped. It is rural and that’s part of the charm. We hope to be back soon! Thank you for such a lovely stay.
