Garden Camping and “Crashers”
A note from Hostel Staff-
In keeping with our 15 year tradition of always having a place to stay for backpackers; Camping and Crashing has become very popular for free spirited travelers!
We ask that everyone who camps or crashes comes with a great sense of adventure and knowledge that we are a “Hostel”.
Some nights are quite and some nights are just plain roisterous!
Bring your earplugs and any other trick you have to help you sleep; Unless the sounds of explosive laughter, off key singing and “Breaking Amish” Fun are your lullaby when you are ready for bed!
