  • Campsite with spectacular views over Dentdale in the Yorkshire Dales
  • Settle-Carlisle Railway 10 minutes’ drive; Lake District 35 minutes
  • The Woolshed and Dent Village Heritage Centre and Museum both on site
Yorkshire dales don’t come much prettier than Dentdale, or Yorkshire dales villages much prettier than Dent, so staying at High Laning Caravan & Camping Park means you get double lucky. The site’s less than five minutes’ walk from the village, and all the pitches look out over the breathtaking scenery of Dentdale, right on the western edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. This family-run site is set on a traditional dales farm, still working after many years and generations. Pitches are spacious and handily close to the shops, pubs and cafés of Dent, while major supermarket top-ups can be done in Sedbergh (15 minutes’ drive). However, you don’t have to wander very far from your pitch to learn about Yorkshire dales history; High Laning Farm is home to both the Dent Village Heritage Centre and Museum (featuring tall tales about The Terrible Knitters of Dent and the Dent Vampire), and The Woolshed, a purpose-built emporium selling hand-crafted woollen knitwear. If that doesn’t appeal, there are endless walking paths through and around Dent for walkers, along with miles of road cycling through stunning scenery. If the dales themselves can’t keep you all happily occupied and entertained, the family attractions of the Lake District National Park are only 35 minutes’ drive.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its stunning Dent village location, offering beautiful scenery and easy access to local pubs and walks. Guests found the staff welcoming and facilities generally clean. However, some reviewers noted issues with overcrowding during busy periods, particularly on bank holidays, leading to cramped pitches and a lack of organisation. The coin-operated showers were also a point of concern for some.

Lesley N.

Electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked Setting was beautiful, nice clean site,clean toilets.

Disliked It was very busy and felt crammed in,tents were very close to each other. Booked electric pitch. Told where to pitch and was at least maybe 50 foot away from a point to hook up so had to pay a deposit (refundable) of £30 for an extension lead. Our lead is about 20 foot and nearest point was full.

Aimee W.

Electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked The scenery

Disliked Couldn't see much of the scenery. The camp-site was overcrowded. Guide ropes overlapped with neighbouring tents. No space for children to play, barely any space to sit out front of the tent as the cars were parked so close. Would not return.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Good location to explore.
Close to local pubs and village shop.
Nice cafe at entrance to site.

Disliked Toilets could do with a freshen up.
Bank holiday weekend resulting in site being very busy and allocation of pitches uncoordinated.
Pre booked grass pitch but was located on small concrete plot with no area to sit outside.

Rebecca D.

Electric optional grass tent pitch (small)

Liked Nothing

Disliked Horrendous stay at the campsite!!!!

Dangerously overcrowded with triple the number of people crammed onto the site. Tents very close to one another and a high fire risk. Very loud until the early hours and strong smell of weed. Not enough hot water or showers/ toilets for the number of people.

Extension leads were being used to provide electricity to extra tents from the hook up points. Fire waiting to happen. Greed over safety.

Would never stay again and highly suggest no one else should stay either.

Jenni L.

Electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked Friendly and helpful staff at the cafe and on site. They accommodated my request to be close to another party in a caravan. It got very busy over the weekend but everyone was largely well behaved. The cafe on site was really nice.

Disliked Not the quietest camp but overall no issues. Didn't mind paying for the shower but worth knowing it's exact change.

Wouldn’t stay again but the dales were spectacular.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The views it was stunning.

Disliked Didn’t like the showers or toilets, they were not cleaned regularly enough for the volume of holiday makers it was bank holiday weekend and it was very noisy and cramped. Pitch was on a decline.
Food in the cafe/museum was extortionate!
Bacon roll, egg and bacon roll, eggs on toast and a full breakfast was £48! It was ludicrous and not worth the money. Our 4 night stay was over priced too! You also have to pay for showers.
Electricity kept tripping due to so many caravans on one electric point.

Electric optional grass tent pitch (small)

Liked Location

Disliked I have never known a campsite so busy, the owners promote greed over customer satisfaction.
£30 per night to pitch a small one man tent should get you free access to the shower facilities but that's not the case.
Their onsite café charges £8 for a bacon sandwich, when i expressed surprise I was told it's the 'going rate' these days. One short trip into Hawes later we'd paid £4 for a very tasty sausage and egg sandwich at a sit down café.
My advice, don't go. But if you do bring your own food and a selection of coins for the showers...

Local attractions

From High Laning Farm you can explore the entire Yorkshire Dales National Park; start with pretty market towns like Sedbergh (15 minutes’ drive) and Hawes (half an hour), and then drive the dramatically scenic Buttertubs Pass (35 minutes). Make the most of the fresh air with a walk on the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail (half an hour), or hike up to the single cascade at Cautley Spout (20 minutes). Turn west towards the Lake District to treat the kids to an afternoon feeding farm animals and riding around on go-karts at the Lakeland Maze Farm Park (40 minutes). Families can also take wolves for a walk at Predator Experience (45 minutes), or see rare snow leopards and Madagascan fossas at the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis (40 minutes). If you fancy letting something else do the hard work, climb aboard the Settle-Carlisle Railway from Dent village (10 minutes), from where you have superb views over Dentdale. Stop off at Ribblehead to take a selfie underneath the soaring 24 spans of Ribblehead Viaduct, or venture onwards to Settle for afternoon tea or a pint of Yorkshire beer in one of the welcoming pubs.
