Had a blast. This location/campsite is perfect for visiting so many locations. We went to Silverdale, Bowness, Arnside, Grange over Sands. Morecambe. There is a Pub/Hotel 'Crooklands' at the bottom of the road. Bus stop both directions. Canal Walk to enjoy on your doorstep. Site is pristine, well kept, manicured grass, good pitches. The Hosts are wonderful and very helpful. We shall return again as it was such a great location to go visiting from. Big Asda just down the road for provisions and an amazing butcher in Kirby Lonsdale. Also, a brewery which does super food and ale.

Absolutely wonderful stay!! Came with friends and loved it! The owner was really friendly, informative and helpful. The pitches were perfect and the facilities in the new block were wonderful! The site was spotless and the flower beds and grass well kept. Full marks for a wonderful experience!

A good little site just off the M6 - handy stop on the way to Scotland. Dog walks immediately outside the site along the canal and a pub/restaurant over the road. Only down side was lukewarm showers one morning.
Site's response
Hello Charles, Thank you for stopping with us and I'm sorry that the lukewarm showers took the edge off things for you. That was totally down to me - the hot water at Little Acre is provided by solar power and I'd asked the solar power techie to do some tweaks. He tweaked it (as requested by me) and unfortunately the tweaks didn't have the expected result, hence a lukewarm shower for you. As soon as I realised that things weren't working as they should be, we are now heating the water by LPG, until the solar panel tweaker returns today (Thu 15th May), then once again we'll have lots of hot water to use. I hope that you return to Little Acre in the future to enjoy a hot shower again! Paul
The place is first class in every way

Really enjoyed the stay and will definitely return. The shower block was better than some top hotels (and I’ve stayed in hundreds of them).

Spot on. Would recommend, lovely & quiet. Pitch size good for small vans but may be cramped for bigger vans. Friendly welcome, would return for longer.
Site's response
Thank you for staying with us Ian, and I'm glad that your visit was successful for you. The reason that your pitch wasn't as big as the others is because you booked the electric hardstanding small pitch (we only have 1 small pitch at Little Acre) that we only use for campervans ! - we wouldn't pitch anything bigger than a campervan on it, as it wouldn't be a good fit. It'll be lovely to host you again in the future. Paul

Lovely small site at great location for walking, just a few yards from the canal and a pub which does good food. Met by Paul who is very friendly and checked we were happy with our pitch, which we were. New shower block is very nice, 20 pence for 3 minutes but shower is quite powerful and plenty of hot water. Good area for washing up in the same block. Will use site again.
Site's response
Thank you for recently staying with us and rating Little Acre as 5*'s on Campsites.co.uk, Keith. The new shower, loo, laundry and washing up block is proving to be a very popular addition to the site - it keeps me busy topping up the complimentary shower gel, shampoo & conditioner! It will be lovely to host you again in the future. Paul

We really enjoyed our short break at Little acres. The location was great for us. It was just off the motorway in a quiet spot, walking distance to The Crooklands where we had a lovely meal and a convenient bus stop outside there to Kirkby Lonsdale which is one of our favourite places to visit and only 16 minutes away .

Hi Brenda Thank you for staying with us (& bringing some lovely weatehr with you !). The bus top across the road is very handy, with people either going to KL (as you did) or going the other way to Kendal and the Lake District beyond. Paul

Though the site location will not be to everyones taste, it is a location that has surprises! This is a return visit for us but this time with a caravan not a tent. The facilities have been updated since our previous visit and more improvements (if that is the word) are due to start within a few days of our departure (12th May). Paul has worked wonders with the site and facilities, always clean, plenty of good advice and the willingness to help anyone that needs it. As said earlier, a return visit and hopefully more trips in the future. A one word summary is impossible but a fair starting point would be BRILLIANT.
Site's response
It's good to read that your stay with a caravan, rather than a tent worked out so well for you. Yes, the next phase of the improvements started today (13th May) and we have started the complete refurbishment and modernisation of our 2nd loo & shower block - we can't wait for its completion ! Locationwise, we are 2 mins from Junct 36 on the M6 and we're just 15 mins from the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. Having a dog friendly pub that serves good food (& beer !) 200 yards away, bus stops to Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale outside the pub, a 24 hour petrol staion with shop less than half a mile from us which can be reached on foot without walking aside the road and the Lancaster Canal towpath which is only 15ft from our entrance are just some of the things that people enjoy about our location. Hopefully you'll like our recently started and planned improvements for the future when you return. Paul

We arrived later than we had hoped due to traffic and weather conditions. A quick phone call to Paul put us at ease and he was waiting for us on our arrival to show us our pitch and where all the facilities were. He was extremely friendly and helpful. We only stayed one night on our way from Worcestershire to Scotland, so didn't get chance for a good look around. The site is alongside a gorgeous canal, which was great for walking our dogs. The nearby pub looked inviting as well. The brand new toilet and shower block is unbelievable. It's better than many expensive hotels we've stayed in. Overall, we can't recommend this site highly enough. Spotlessly clean, friendly and helpful and a lovely quiet location.

Can't fault the site. Paul the owner can't do enough for you. Shower and toilet block are like a bathroom showroom, 20p for three minutes or 1p each if you've got 19 close friends (there's nearly enough room)! Pub across the road very welcoming with brilliant food but booking is advisable. We will be back.
Site's response
Thank you for staying with us recently Anthony and leaving such a lovely review of your visit (not to sure about 20 people using the shower at the same time - the complimentary shower gel, shampoo & conditioner would soon run out, plus the arguments about using the hairdryers!) It will be good to host you in the future. Paul.
Fabulous, a great location!

This campsite was a really lovely find, probably the best we've stayed at in the last two weeks (on the way back from the NC500). The showers/toilets here are totally awesome, modern, clean and spacious. Paul the site manager was so helpful and friendly, I can't recommend this site highly enough! The icing on the cake for this site is a smashing pub with great food just yards away.

Thank you, Jacqui. I'm glad that your NC500 trip was a success and staying at Little Acre added to your big trip. Paul

Lovely, quiet and little family-run site, with spaces for motorhomes, caravans and tents. All motor pitches have water and electric hookups. A brand new toilet and shower block is now open, washing up and laundry machines are also in the block. We had a lovely stay. The site is definitely recommended and we will return. A* 👍🏻

Very friendly welcome. Site shows all the signs of lots of investment and is very well maintained. Facility blocks are some the best we have encountered and worth the small charge for a shower. Location is great for walking along the adjacent canal. The only negative I can identify is traffic noise, which only reduces very late in the day.

This was our last night away having done a mini tour round Ayrshire, Galloway Forest and the Lakes, so plenty of sites to compare and this was the nicest site of all. Not just quiet and peaceful, but the facilities were spotless. The owners obviously take great pride in their business and were very welcoming on arrival. Would stay here again in a flash when up in that neck of the woods.

Good comms ahead of our visit meant we knew exactly which pitch and where it was prior to arrival. It's less than 5 minutes from the M6, making it handy as a stopover. We had pretty much set up when the owner came over. Very friendly greeting and he showed us where the facilities were located. The new toilet/shower/amenities block was outstanding. Very clean and tidy, and there were individual shower rooms and toilets. They were finished to a very high standard. Our pitch had a slight slope but was easily fixed with ramps. Plenty of fresh water taps dotted around the site too. The site was clean, tidy and well-maintained. Out of the gate and straight onto the canal towpath opposite meant easy walks with the dogs. We would happily visit again.
