  • 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 fabulous 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 offers stunning views in a beautiful village location with friendly, helpful staff. Facilities are generally clean and well-maintained, though some mention they are dated and require payment for showers. Pitches are described as level and good-sized by some, while others found them close together, particularly during busy periods. The nearby heritage centre and tearoom are popular additions. Some reviews mention challenging access roads.

Liked Great facilities including toilets, showers, washing up station and laundry station. Great signal for 4G/data so no need to use the WiFi provided.

Disliked Some fellow campers were quite loud but to no fault of the campsite operators.

Electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked Loved the site and absolutely beautiful spot with nearby cafes pubs and restaurants, staff at site cafe and on reception were lovely and very helpful. I would highly recommend this sight it’s in such a lovely place.

Disliked Long walk to showers at the top and having to pay 40p for a three minute shower was not great also shower block was very basic but clean, shame there aren’t more in the lower site. On site info was described as a quiet site but there were people shouting, partying and kids screaming until the early hours which disturbed our sleep.

Electric optional grass tent pitch (backpacker, solo)

Liked Fantastic site overlooking the mountain, quiet and beautiful. Right in the village and by the visitor centre.
There’s a groceries shop in the village with all you need and a pub. Also, a meditation centre with some classes. Lovely walks all around the area.

 Chris S. 1 review

Electric grass campervan pitch (small)

Liked A beautiful idyllic spot with views to die for on the perimeter of a lovely village where time has stood still. Great circular walks from the site. Clean and well maintained toilets and showers. Superb on site cafe. Decent level pitches. Great staff.

Disliked Narrow winding road to get to this place but it has passing places and good tarmac. That said big motorhomes had managed it and the views driving to the site were stunning. Paying for a shower as it should be in with the price.

 Julie W. 1 review

Electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked Lovely, well-run campsite with excellent views across Dentdale. Right next to the village of Dent, so just 5 mins walk to pubs and village shop and lovely walks straight from the site. Facilities were good, plenty of showers, no queues and the Heritage Centre is perfect for tea & scones. We would definitely come again.

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.
