  • 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.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked great site, quiet and great location for walks and nearby food
for a small hamlet it has 2 pubs, several cafes and a heritage centre
very friendly staff

Disliked considering the price to pitch motorhome per night (not the cheapest) was surprised to note there is a further charge to use the showers.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely area, straight into the beautiful village from campsite, lots of walking in the area.

Disliked Thought the pitches were a bit close, had booked an awning pitch but didn't put it up due to the high winds,if we had put the awning up would have been no space between us and next pitch.

Sarah B.

Powered grass tent campsite (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

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.

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.
