  • 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 is praised for its stunning location, offering beautiful views and convenient access to Dent village and surrounding walks. Visitors highlight the friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities, and the pleasant atmosphere. The adjacent heritage centre and cafe are also frequently mentioned as positive additions. However, some reviews note issues with overcrowding, particularly during busy periods, and a few comment on the cost of showers and the narrow access roads.

Electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked The views!! 360 degree Mountain Views, exceptional! The village is beautiful with cobbled streets and walking paths- a stream that can be accessed for paddling too.

Disliked It was a crowded site- we did anticipate this given it was bank holiday though. Additionally, we paid for an electric pitch and there were no pitches with hook ups left, luckily we weren’t too bothered.

Electric optional grass tent pitch (backpacker, solo)

Liked Been here before, simple camping field, no issues. I’ve seen the bad reviews but I’m on a motorcycle with a small tent and I just need toilets and somewhere to wash pots. It suits me fine, nice views, couple of pubs in village. Very pleasant.

Disliked Nothing, suits my needs.

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.
