She has not the least interest in camping?

Could you paraphrase the above sentence? Is she interested or not?

Thanks

Hi,

Cited LONGMAN DICTIONARY as saying:

not the least / not in the least /not the least bit none at all, or not at all

So it means 'she is not interested at all in camping'.

Hope that helps.

Sincerely
