Dinah Hoggus Camping Barn Details

A camping barn is just as it sounds - a stone barn offering simple overnight shelter for walkers and cyclists. The barns are roomy and offer a wooden sleeping platform, table, cooking bench, cold tap and toilet, a bucket and bowls, and clothes hooks and trash bags. The Dinah Hoggus Camping Barn is a traditional Lakeland field barn on the outskirts of the village of Rosthwaite in the Borrowdale Valley. It sits next to the old packhorse route to Watendlath and is convenient for the Coast to Coast walk, and is also only around 300 yards from the village pub. The cooking and eating area are on the ground floor, and the kitchen features an electric kettle, microwave and electric cooktop. There are 12 mattresses provided on the first floor, with the sink, toilet and shower in a separate room. There’s also an electric dryer available, although electricity will cost extra based on a meter reading at the beginning and end of your stay. Dogs are welcome if you’re booking the entire barn; parties with children under 5 must also book the entire barn. Check in is after 4 p.m. and checkout is at 10 a.m. Group bookings at the camping barns within the Lake District are welcome, and they offer a capacity of between eight and 18 people. The barns cost £10.00 ($14.50) per person per night, and you can book at [http://www.lakelandcampingbarns.co.uk/](http://www.lakelandcampingbarns.co.uk/).
