 We booked here 4 weeks prior to Easter as everywhere else was booked solid.
After leaving M6 and passing by Sedbergh the road to Dent needs caution and there are 3 bridges to cross, one of them is quite narrow, a wider van would struggle but we were ok in our 2 berth.
Upon arrival we were shown to a pitch with electric.
The site got very busy and tents seemed to be packed in.
We were kept awake until 2 in the morning by some very noisy campers, after a word with Margaret she soon sorted it, there was no noise the next night. This lady was constantly riding her quad-bike around the site to help people.
I agree that there are'nt enough facilities, especially for campers.
Food was disappointing in the George & Dragon,.
Dent village is lovely and so was the scenery, and it was lambing time. I would visit this site again but not on a bank holiday as it was VERY busy.

Just spent the Easter weekend here with mixed views.
First thoughts of the host (Margaret) was that she was very brusque and offhand, that view soon changed and found this very hardworking woman does a cracking job and couldn't be more helpful.
The site while situated in a lovely area was marred as pointed out by many here for the lack of Toilet/Shower facilities.
The bottom field is crying out for just such things especially over peak periods when there were so many people there vying for pole position.
Overall: Good effort but could do better.

Just spent the Easter Bank holiday weekend in Dent at this site. Reading the recent reviews, if you want to stay warm while camping put extra clothes on or buy a decent sleeping bag. Its not the owners responsibility to keep your kids or you warm in a tent or van when it drops to freezing. As for electric hook ups, why cant you holiday without your TV in your van or your electric blanket. Remember your carbon footprint. This site is a farm site and if you have to queue for a shower so what, slow down . You're on holiday !
We love this site and village. Margaret helps every one she can and probably some more than she should. Would recommend this site to anyone.

Sorry but I find myself unable to agree with the reviews.
We found the site overcrowded and the fact that EHU cables trail at full length outside other units, crossing the site is an accident waiting to happen.
I don't want to be personal but can't agree with the comments about the lady owner either.
I waited in the tiny shop for 20 minutes, ringing the bell etc waiting to be served but no-one came so I walked into the village.
Electric tripped off and was off overnight - and yes I know people can be greedy and foolish with the amount of appliances - but perhaps if the site was not so overcrowded the problems would not have happened. It is the site owners responsibility, I'm afraid to sort these things immediately and if that means paying for an emergency electrician, then it has to be done.
It is totally unacceptable for people - including children to be left shivering in tents all freezing (about -4) night with no form of heating!
I shall certainly not recommend this site to other- despite the lovely setting and magnificent views.

Not sure where to start, so I'll begin with the park itself. Like said in all the other reviews, this place desperately needs more toilets in the bottom field, every time I went to the toilet I had to queue. They could be doing with putting some showers in as well. I tried to buy some tent pegs for my awning from the on site shop in the top field, couldn't believe it when the lady charged me 20 pence each for the only 3 that were left and lent me a few more reminding me I had to bring them back when I was finished with them.
Thankfully a very kind camper let us borrow a load of hers, so thank you very much if you read this.
Anyway I'll tell you some positives now, the village is beautiful. We went on a walk called Flintergills point, it took about 3 miles altogether, just right for our 5 year old. It was really nice. When you get to the top, go through the little gate at the top and you'll see a little stream we sat by there and my sons went in for a paddle it was so peaceful. Don't think we should have been in there, but we weren't doing anyone any harm.
I would go back to this site if they provided more facilities in the bottom field. A play area would be perfect, so go on Margaret give the kids a treat.

Eight of us have just spent Easter weekend at this site. Margaret the owner was great, she had a lot of tents and caravans to deal with, and managed this on her own, The site is set in beautiful surroundings, and is a good reasonably level family site. The only draw back is only 2 ladies loos on lower field! The farm shop sells almost everything, and the cafe/bar on the main road in front of the site is lovely - food is great. Dent has 2 good pubs, but for us the scenery and walking makes the place.
Try this site - dont be put off by any negatives - it is well worth a visit. And like Arnie says - "we`ll be back!"

On arriving in Dent we thought what a brilliant choice of site we had made. Dent itself is fantastic but we felt let down by the camp-site itself.
Initially we thought the owners were friendly and welcoming but realised that when we had a complaint to make this was very different.
I had originally booked for 3 nights over Easter bank holiday but cut this short due to lack of space. The site was absolutely packed it looked like a cross between a car park and a caravan storage facility as there was no space between tents and caravans. On the start of my 3rd day on this site I felt it necessary to advise the owner how disappointed I was with lack of space and privacy. Space was so limited I could not even sit outside my tent as another tent was parked right next to mine. (In fact it was so close to me I slept closer to my neighbours husband than my own!)
I raised my concerns with the lady owner who was not interested although she did say she would inspect. On arrival she did say they were a bit close together but 'what did I expect at bank holiday?' I appreciate it was bank holiday but these are the worst conditions I have ever come across because I couldn't even cook outside for fear of burning my tent and next doors! I asked for a refund for my 3rd night but was told 'No' flatly.
Other facilities on this site were not up to scratch either. Showers were few and far between and could only cater for a 10th of the visitors present so there were a lot of smelly people as most could not be bothered to queue. Toliet situation was not much better.
All in all a disappointing weekend but when the owner was told this she said she had her 'loyal army of followers' so didn't care what I thought.
There are nicer sites in Dent which are better value and more spacious. This site only seems interested in MONEY MONEY MONEY. I'm sure a few more complaints will follow after this weekend as we were not the only ones who were not impressed.

My husband and I booked last minute to stay in Dent and were not to be disappointed!
We arrived on a Saturday lunchtime and although the lower site was very busy with campers, Margaret, the site owner found a lovely spot on the higher field near to the office and farm.
The farm shop sells all sorts of things such as milk, meat, cakes etc.
The village of Dent is wonderful and only a 2 minute walk along the cobbles from the site.
The village has two excellent pubs (one is the hotel with its own brewery!) and a most pretty church.
We only stayed two nights before heading off to the Lakes. However, after 3 nights in that area we found ourselves back in Dent! The site is lovely and the scenery is spectacular!
Definitely would go back again!

The site is split over two fields, divided by the main road through Dent. Though this is not a problem , one gripe I did have is that there is only showers in the top field.
In the lower field the toilet block had washing facilities.
The showers are excellent though, with plenty of room and clean. They cost 20p of which you will need two.
The field is sloping , but get there early and you will be able to get one of the flatter pitches around the outside. For those of you with kids, there is a huge area in the centre for them to play in, though I expect it does get a lot fuller in high season.
The farm sells everything from milk and butter to eggs and bread and marmalade.
All in all, it is a good site, I will definitely be going back there , as it has the added extra of being beside a great village .
At £14:50 per night , it is one of the costlier sites, but well worth atry

Spent the Bank Holiday weekend at this site and overall had a very enjoyable time.
Not the best equipped site that Ive visited. Basically just a big field with a gravel track running through it. The pitches arent that clearly marked out and thus they cram so many people on. The ratio was about 70 /30 tents to caravans.
Getting your pitch is a bit of ordeal as the owner leaves you to wait until she's ready for you (and she very often forgets about you). There is also a little walk up the lane you need to make to book in your arrival.
The toilet block is far too small for the size of the site, and its not very nice having the washing up sinks next to the urinals!
But the amazing beauty of the surrounding scenery and picturesque village of Dent helps you forget the sites shortfalls.
Watch out on the winding narrow roads leading into Dent!
Site rating 6/10
