Lake District camping barns start at £7 per person per
night
 As
rising prices take their toll on household budgets, camping holidays are gaining
in popularity. Often described as "stone tents," the Lakeland camping barns are
an alternative to sleeping under canvas and don’t need to be transported from
one overnight site to the next.
In a former life the twelve Lakeland Camping Barns might have been a stable,
corn store or a cattle byre, now cleverly converted to provide simple, roomy
self-catering accommodation from just £7 per person per night. They are popular
with walkers but also have growing family appeal since their affordable price
opens up the opportunity of a holiday in the Lake District to everyone.
Owned and run by farmers, each has a character of its own but in common they
all have sleeping, cooking/eating and washing areas and are in stunning
locations with walks from the doorstep. For those not wishing to self-cater,
cooked Cumbrian breakfasts might be on offer from the owner farmer, as are
packed lunches and very occasionally an evening meal but usually guests will
take a trip down to the nearest good food pub or cook a BBQ and dine al fresco
under the stars.
The price of £7 covers the accommodation; electricity, heat and any meals are
usually additional. For sole use the £7 charge should be multiplied by the
maximum number the barn can accommodate, i.e. sole use of a barn sleeping eight
would be £56 per night. Individual barns may be reserved for stays of up to one
week and they all have car parking areas. An adult must accompany all young
people under the age of eighteen and families with children under five and those
with pets are required to book the barn for sole use.
