  • 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.

Sarah B.

Electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked Loved the location - gorgeous setting, nestled in the hills right next to such a picture postcard little village. Lovely family running the site, who were very welcoming. The heritage cafe which is part of the site seemed a bit expensive but it’s really good. The coffee is really good and food is all homemade with proper farmhouse ingredients. Two good pubs and a shop in the village too.

Disliked We arrived on Saturday evening and the campsite was very busy. Some of the campers were noisy late into the night and had music playing. Most were away for a weekend break as they all left of the Sunday morning so the Sunday night was perfect - peaceful and tranquil

Electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked Absolutely loved the site and the little village was lovely. There was lovely views of mountains fields sheep and a lovely village which had 2 pubs a lovely cafe and a nice shop. The place was beautiful and peaceful but there was a lot of noisy kids crying a lot.

Disliked The noisey kids crying and their parents not telling them to be quiet. You have to 40 pence for the showers.

Electric grass campervan pitch (small)

Liked The site offers great amenities. Heritage centre is a dreary addition and offers great food and drink. Margaret welcomed us upon arrival. Very friendly and welcoming.

Disliked No dislikes. I had not read enough to know I needed to pay with coins for the shower and therefore was not prepared for this. I was only there one night so not a major issue. Would be happy to pay if we return.

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.
