Lakeland Camping Barns

Lakeland Camping Barns manage several camping barns in Cumbria.

Facilities are normally basic and vary between barns.
Sleeping Sleeping areas are often communal, however some barns have the option for you to block book the entire camping barn for sole occupancy.
Parties travelling with under-fives in your party, may be asked to book for sole-occupancy - check when booking.
Dining and food preparation Not all barns have cooking facilities - packed lunches and other meals maybe available from the farmhouse at some barns if not you will need to self-cater or look for the nearest pub!
Sanitation Mod cons at the Lakeland Camping Barns normally come in the form of a flush toilet and running cold water. Some Lake District camping barns do have hot water and showers - this is normally metered if available.
PetsWell behaved pets are sometimes accepted - although some barns request that you book sole occupancy if you wish to bring your pet too.

Remember: You will need to pack sleeping bags - not all barns provide mattresses - and everything you would need for camping, apart from the tent!
