 This is a good site in beautiful surroundings.The showers etc. Are fine, they do what they're supposed to do without any fuss.Site close to river walk which pleased the dog.Dent is just out the gate, which is handy,especially coming back from the 2 pubs.
We thought the site fees very expensive for few amenities compared to other sites we've visited which means next time we visit Dent we will stay at the other site in town for a fraction of the price.

This is a lovely site in a fab location. We camped in the overspill field but neither this nor the main field is too large. The facilities are more than adequate, clean and up to date. The shops, pubs and local beer are all very good. There is a playing field accessible from the site but separated by a stone wall and large trees, the river is a 5 minute walk away.
The owners are friendly and helpful, and the pitches quite generous. Only down side is the need for midge repellant, and slightly high prices, neither of which would deter me from heading here again in a shot.

High laning campsite has been one of my favorite places to stay for many years, however their prices are quite high considering the ammenities on site. The toilet block is kept clean by the site owner Margaret who can be a bit overpowering if you haven`t met her before ( although she has a heart of gold). The village of Dent is a sleepy place, the Sun Hotel pub is good and the beer garden is nice at the back if you have a nice day to enjoy it. On site the views of the hills surrounding you are fantastic but watch out for the midgies around August time take plenty of sprays etc. The main field is good and the ground is easy to pitch on but beware if you get the bottom field it is prone to flooding if it rains heavy. If you are booking on a bank holiday this site will get very very busy so book early to be guarenteed a pitch.

Dent is a fabulous little village in a superb location, and we visited for the Music & Beer Festival 2009. I know I should have expected the site to be busy, but nothing could have prepared me for what we found. We were squashed in like sardines. It felt more like being on a car park than a camp site
he facilities were inadequate for the number of people who were there our weekend, many hundreds of units. The main field has just 2 toilets (men) and 1 shower. If you want a shower you have to go to the farm where there is another block of 5 male & 5 female.
The location is beautiful, but I can't honestly recommend a site where they are prepared to squash people in like they do here.

We arrived at High Laning separately in two cars, we had to pay a few pounds for the 2nd car but there was enough room at our pitch to squeeze it in.
The road leading to Dent (from the M6) is quite small for quite a few miles so make sure you take your time getting there.
We stayed at High Laning over the May Bank Holiday and I have never seen a campsite so busy, every available pitch was being filled. There must have been 1000's of campers filling up the two large fields on either side of the road.
On arrival there is a 'waiting area' on one side of the road (fairly clearly signed) where you are supposed to park. To find reception however you have to cross over the road and go through the gate to the other field and up the farm road to the house (and shower block) on the left at the top of the field (which mainly had campervans in it).
Margaret was busy rushing around on her quad-bike directing campers to pitches. She was extremely busy and wasn't always around so on arrival it was quite confusing as to where to go.
We only had a small 2man tent and were directed to a corner of the upper field close to the parked over-winter caravans (it was probably one of the better pitches) but we were soon hemmed in but more arrivals.
The shower block is quite adequate (20p for a decent shower). There was a coffee vending machine which was useful (although expensive - 60p for a very small coffee). Washing up facilities were adequate. There were laundry facilities as well. The shop had milk, biscuits, pies, tins, sweets etc.
Dent has two pubs but they were both SO busy over the BankHoliday that there was no chance of getting a table in either of them (even when we went at 5.30pm). We sat outside the back of the SunInn where there are some picnic tables beside the parking area and we were served there.
Dent itself is a pretty stone built village but has little amenities (cafe, 2pubs, small shop, church). Over the BankHoliday the population must've multiplied by about 1000times!
The DalesWay goes through Dent and its a nice walk (if a little tricky to follow - take a map!). We walked from Dent to the Sportsman Inn at Cowgill on a sunny day. It was a long walk and we rewarded ourselves with a decent lunch and a pint before walking to the Arten Gill viaduct.
All-in-all, High Laning campsite was good but there were too many people squashed onto the site. Next door there is another campsite (no facilities - just a field) and on the otherside of Dent village is another campsite (which appeared to have facilities), both those sites seemed less crowded.
I would stay at High Laning again but not on a BankHoliday weekend as it was rather over crowded.

Fisherground Campsite - Eskdale
Nestling in the beautiful Eskdale Valley close to Scafell, England's highest mountain and Wastwater, this site is a children's paradise in the heart of the Lake District. The first thing that meets you on arrival is the pond, fed by a stream and usually full of children paddling and playing on tyre rafts. The playground has zip wires, climbing frames, tyre rope-swings and adventure courses.
Grass pitches (some with EHU) for tents, motorhomes, VW-sized campervans (no caravans). Refurbished toilets, showers and laundry. Peace is the watchword on the campsite - catering mainly for families and couples with silence after 10.30pm. Don't forget your marshmallows - campfires are allowed in selected areas. Nearby shop and pub. And there's an added extra: the site sits along the route of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway line, with it's own station. Choo Choo! Find out more here

We have just returned from a very sunny weekend here in Dent. The campsite is very clean . The toilets were kept clean and tidy. The showers were 20p for 3 mins but there was only one on the field we were in, the others were a short walk to the other camping field.
The views were superb. An outstanding part of the country. The washing up sink is in the toilets which is not ideal and the price was quite high. I paid £52 for 2 nights, 2 adults and 3 children.
There is nothing for the children on this site and ball games seem to be frowned on if busy. There are no clear pitches and on busy weekends I imagine you would be very close to your neighbours!.
One of the good things was that there was no push for you to leave - you could stay all day of you wish , which makes a nice change from these sites that kick you off at 11 in the morning!
I would definitely recommend this site.

Good location on the edge of Dent, only 5 min walk to village centre.
We camped on the lower field, which had plenty of flat pitches and great views to Rise Hill.
The lady (I guess the owner) was extremely helpful and provided us with a of sheet site instructions and rules (which is great idea)and lots of leaflets on the local area. The reception doubles as a farm shop with lots of fab local produce from meat to perserves.
Pros:
- Great location, great for walkers or those happy to potter around the village.
- Flat pitches in lower field, which when we went had far more tents than caravans than in the top field.
- Decent, clean toilet block in lower field with washing up facilities, hot water and waste disposal.
Cons:
- Showers only available in top field toilet block. Very small cubicles and 20p doesn't get you far. I admit I didn't have my contact lenses in (!) but the block appeared to be unisex, with separate entrances for male and females.
I will happily return to this site - and this time bring the BBQ for their sausages!

This site is a lovely relaxing place,it is next to a working farm which has some interesting smells and noises coming from it,which added a little more to our holiday. The village of Dent is a lovely little place to walk around, not far from the site. The owners of the site are very helpful and friendly,the toilets and showers are kept clean. This site is ideal for driving to plenty of areas near and far, loads to see,even a little museum outside the site. My family and I will be going again,

We have been to High laning for several years now and enjoyed every time, However the prices that are now being charged are quite steep for the facilities on site. This is rather disappointing as we are now looking for other sites to visit.
Don`t get me wrong this site is very good if you want a quiet weekend away in beautiful surroundings but be warned take some midgy repellent with you especially around July - August.
Also this site will get very busy at Bank holiday times so book before you set off and be prepared to pay around £20 - £30 for the night.

Just returned this morning from High Laning Camping and Caravan Park. We had a lovely spot given to us by Margaret who was very helpful. Although a bit chilly (which is actually an understatement!) we did have a lovely time once we thawed out, recovered from a burst airbed, and making three trips during the night to the toilet block with a grumpy three year old - we are the Grizwalds!
Site very clean, shop a little expensive but worth a visit if you need basics and its a lovely walk through the cobbled streets to the two pubs. We ate in the George and Dragon which was ok - although had to send my meal back as it was burnt! Children liked it though which is what counts!.
This is my second visit and will definitely go again - with leg warmers, my own bed and without the kids!

We have just returned from the lovely village of Dent. The site was very well organised and the owner Margaret was more than helpful. The facilities were spot on and very clean there are plenty of showers and toilets, also a well stocked shop, Margaret was always on hand if needed. The area is wonderful for the likes of us walkers, or if you just want a relaxing time the scenery was to die for, the weather could not have been any better, we have come back with a lovely sun tan, hows that for an Easter weekend, We even booked an extra night. The two pubs in the village were super, both serving excellent food and a good selection of real ales, and both dog friendly. We will definitely return soon.

We have just come back from a four night trip to Dent. We arrived in the wind and rain to a quiet little site with hardly any other campers on there, apart from a few stored caravans. We had to leave the car slightly away from the pitch as areas are roped off to stop the field getting muddy. We thought the price of £16.50 per night for our tent (with two of us staying in it) was quite high, the most we have ever had to pay, especially considering our friends only had to pay £15.50 for their camper van which included electric hook up.
The location is lovely, beautiful views and very remote. However the site got incredible busy over the Easter weekend, the pitches didn’t seem to be clearly defined with not a lot of order to where people pitched. We went out for the day in our car and came back to a motor home set up in our space. Margaret sorted this for us the next day by giving us a cone to put out during the day to save our space.
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We loved the George and the Dragon pub. Excellent food, you can also have a selection of Dent ales. :o) There is a little shop on site and a village store which has everything you could need. There are plenty of lovely walks you can do from the site, we would recommend going to Ribblehead from Dent station on the train and walking back!
Facilities were basic but clean. 20p for a 3min shower or if you’re lucky a 4 min one!

We arrived to find that the main field was closed due to ongoing work. The owner asked us to pitch the caravan in a crowded area across the road. Much of the space was roped off to protect the grass. The area is uneven and there were, in our opinion, no suitable pitches available for a larger caravan.
It owners could have informed us of the problems and ongoing work when we booked the site. The pitch fees had not been reduced to reflect the situation and seemed pricey at £16.50. We left the site and found an alternative. The owner said that if we were leaving we had to reverse out of the narrow entrance into the narrow main road and not go on the grass to turn.
People with larger caravans should choose their route to the site carefully.

Lovely area and really nice location.
Pros
I would definitely recommend a stay in Dent. Its a short distance off the M6 and made a good/nice weekend trip. We went for the bank holiday and found plenty to do although most places are a cars journey away. Ingleton Falls were beautiful.
The shop was well stocked with local produce. There's not much to see/do in the village but the church is nice to visit and its a pleasant short walk through. There are also two pubs which get very busy but are nice when you can grab a seat.
Cons
20p warmish shower. Wouldn't mind paying the 20p if the showers were warm enough to stand under.
It was a busy weekend so tents went up haphazardly in no particular order. The tents next to us ended up blocking the path to the toilet block.

Stayed here for one night very nice owners. Take long leads for hook up and big level blocks as it does slope. If you go to the pub take a torch as there is no street lights. Only made it to the sun inn very good food and beer. I would come back to stay. Not the best of roads to get to it. Will be a busy place in summer. Cant comment about toilets as I didn't use them (used my own)
