Tepee Valley Campsite

Kenny and Linda Gilmore are the creative sparks behind Tepee Valley Campsite. Married for 27 years and Markethill-locals, their idea for the alternative campsite was born as a result of their own struggles finding unique experiences to share with their 2 children. We firmly believe that the excitement of sleeping under canvas, lighting and singing... around a campfire, cooking bacon, eggs and baked beans over an open fire and quality time spent playing board games, storytelling with mum, dad or even grandad and best friends all create lasting memories. The couple began with the namesakes tepee (a luxurious Native American-inspired accommodation) and gypsy caravan (fondly named Rosie Lee). The last 9 years of business, however, have seen the introduction of a variety of lavish accommodations: a large and small yurt, geodesic dome, and log cabin. An additional two accommodations - the Shepherds Hut and Abrams House - were designed and handcrafted by Kenny on site, while Linda has lent her magical interior design touch to each and every one of the glamping options. The couple, alongside children Matthew and Katie, are involved in all aspects of the campsite - from grass cutting and site maintenance, to meeting and greeting visitors. They are dedicated to providing glamping experiences which will create real connections and lasting memories. From couples and adult retreats, to the families which originally sparked their idea, they are warm and welcoming to all who arrive in their serene, secluded campsite. Tepee Valley is an award-winning campsite which excels in providing unique experiences for families, couples and adult retreats. It has been recognised across the UK as an excellent option for those searching for glamping holidays and back-to-basics weekends. Tepee Valley won the Northern Ireland Tourist Awards Non-Serviced Accommodation Prize in 2014. These coveted awards recognise the outstanding performers in the tourism industry across nine different categories. NITB chief executive Alan Clarke, left, said: ...Read More
