  • 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

Great Dent village location, lovely scenery, good local pubs & walks. Staff welcoming, facilities clean. Some found it overcrowded on bank holidays, with cramped pitches & disorganisation. Coin showers a niggle for a few.

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.

Power optional grass tent site (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.

Liked We didn't stay.

Disliked It was the bank Holiday weekend and we expected the site to be busy, but it was ridiculously full. Vans and tents were crammed in, absolutely no room to move. We just drove straight out.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Really well organised arrival. Dent is an absolutely lovely village with a couple of pubs (one serves food) and a couple of coffee shops. Great walks from the site. Facilities really clean and everything we needed.

Disliked The roads getting to the site are pretty scary in a motorhome !! Very narrow at times and some single track roads - so check your route.
The site was very busy - but it was bank holiday weekend. Despite that it felt well organised and was quiet at night.

Hosts are amazing.

Liked Great site spectacular location - stayed the bank holiday weekend. Rightly so everyone wants to be there. I can only say our experience was more than positive, John hosted us with the upmost regard and couldn’t have asked any more from him. Great pitch / great site / facilities are fine / shop, caffee & centre are all excellent. You have to factor in, it’s picturesque/ popular and damm good, local pubs are great & it’s all in strolling distance. Be back many times I’m sure.

Disliked Nothing at all

Powered grass tent site (large)

Liked Lovely quiet and scenic site. Enjoyed the Heritage center and cafe. Very cute village. Staff super friendly and site well tended. Location beautiful and handy to local fells and The Lakes.

Disliked Extra payment for showers( but nice and warm) with timer, felt rushed to ensure enough time to rinse long hair. Showers/loos would benefit from an overhaul.

Powered grass campervan site (small)

Liked Everything! Greeted by the staff and took straight to the pitch without even getting out of the van. It’s a beautiful location and a very well run site. There is a lovely cafe right opposite to entrance and 2 lovely local pubs within walking distance. The toilets were cleaned regularly and, although basic, served our needs and never an issue. The waste disposal area is well maintained and clearly marked for what goes where. There are some lovely walks along the river and surrounding areas and we can’t wait for our next stay. Dent is a hidden jewel and a beautiful place to visit. It’s definitely our No1 spot ❤️

Disliked The only very minor point was the small shower. I would extend the space out to the fence to create a small separate space for drying and changing.

Liked The location was amazing, I don’t think I’ve stayed at a better one. Shower and toilets were well cared for, I didn’t mind paying 50p for ten minutes! We had breakfast across the road … amazing! A really chilled out campsite … perfect!

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.
