St Johns-in-the-Vale Camping Barn is a chance to sleep in the solid comfort of stone rather than canvas, with excellent warmth from the woodburner. Enjoy the beauty of the Lake District National Park and rest up after a long day's walking or hiking. Sleep in an idyllic, peaceful setting overlooking St. John's Beck, with stunning views to Blencathra, Helvellyn and Castle Rock, just a mile from Thirlmere.
About the site
