Runnage Farm Bunkhouse And Barns

Runnage Farm Bunkhouse and Barns is a camping-barn and bunkhouse operation on a working farm in the middle of Dartmoor National Park, near Postbridge in South Devon. The barns, sometimes called stone tents, are basic shelters where groups bring their own sleeping bags and cooking kit, and along with the bunkhouse they make a weatherproof base for walking, climbing, cycling and canoeing on the open moor. It is popular with youth clubs, scouts, Duke of Edinburgh Award groups, cadets and extended families who want to book a whole barn together. There are grass pitches for tents and small campervans too, though the operator has said that, until further notice, the camping fields are open only to camping-barn guests and training groups, so independent tent campers should contact the farm before travelling rather than assume a pitch. Set beside the East Dart and Walla Brook, Runnage Farm Bunkhouse and Barns sits deep in the moor with dark skies and river swimming close by, which suits self-reliant campers over anyone wanting hook-ups, hardstanding or on-site entertainment. Postbridge, with its ancient clapper bridge and a pub, is a short drive, and moorland walking starts at the gate. This is proper Dartmoor group accommodation near Postbridge in South Devon, best booked directly with the farm to confirm what is available for your dates.
