  • 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.

jason c. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass tent campsite (backpacker, solo)

Liked Great place in a quiet valley. I was on a motorbike and there’s hard standing if that bothers you. Very quiet, so not a place if you want to drink beer and have fires. Much more quiet, chilled place. I loved it. I’ll be back.

Disliked Nothing really. It was 40p for a shower and I had no change on my, but that’s all my fault.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Second visit

Views for me make it worth it

Walks nearby and despite being a small village there's plenty to eat and drink,

Didn't use WiFi

Facilities clean and tidy,

If there are groups of bikers they can get busy and the pubs so be aware

Disliked All good in my opinion

Rosemary B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass tent campsite (small)

Liked Location was amazing! Just on the outskirts of a VERY picturesque magical village tucked away in the deep, deep countryside. The village is well worth a proper wander - it looks like it is straight out of a novel/film set. Amazing views all round & on the way into the village. Think remote and then some.....
Camping fields were clean & tidy and shower/toilet blocks were too on every occasion I used them. The man who cleaned the area was kept very busy as the camping fields were full.
I have to say, I was a little apprehensive after reading some of the more negative reviews left by previous reviewers....
In my experience of the bank holiday weekend and listening to the extended family & friends' reviews, ours transpired to be a very positive experience - we had a lovely time. This was only enhanced by Margaret as she obviously cares very deeply about the countryside and her guests. She arranged a special meat delivery for one of our group and helped out in the shop & cafe when they were very busy. She checked on us and asked after the children most days. A very direct & pleasant lady.
As far as entertainment is concerned - expect to use what is there ie walking & exploring, lovely play field through the wall, heritage centre, stunning views etc.
This is not a theme park - this is the genuine working countryside.

Disliked Incline to the lower field but anyone who has camped before knows how to compensate - this is stunning terrain after all!
WiFi not 100% reliable, but it was exceptional weather - lashing rain & howling wind. But had the weather been a little better we would not have noticed as we would have been out & about more.

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.
