Little Acre Holiday Park is just a 15-minute drive from the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks. This dog friendly touring park is adjacent to the tranquil Lancaster Canal, ideal for dog walking and relaxing. Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale are close by and accessible by a bus stop 100m away. Good food and drink from the pub at the Crooklands Hotel is less than 100m and always popular (booking recommended).

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesOct 2023

Stayed for 3 nights. Fairly quiet site with a brand new shower block at one end and a rather old one at the other, but nice and warm. Stayed on pitch 13 but found it very tight on space and was next to 2 large vans and towing vehicles who were together. They had several visitors over the weekend with various people staying over, so felt that there was no security at all. Would have preferred to be on the far field which was quieter.

Thank you for staying with us at Little Acre and recommending us on Campsites.co.uk, Brenda. I'm sorry that you stay wasn't as enjoyable as it could have been and that was down to me taking a booking for 2 x caravans on pitches that I normally put campervans/motorhomes on. If there had been campervans/motorhomes on those pitches, pitch #13 would have felt as "open" as all other pitches do and your stay with us would have felt different. I hope that you do come back and stay with me on another occasion and that I can "make things right" for you. Paul.

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesOct 2023

One the best sites we have stayed on. Easy access off motorway with clean, well set up pitches. Attention to detail in facilities with little touches like hand soap, cleaning materials in heated shower blocks (2). We have a dog and the site is located next to Canal walks and a great dog friendly pub and restaurant just over the road. Well appointed location for both the Lakes and Dales. Owners friendly and helpful. All in all, a lovely site so would recommend.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Small PitchOct 2023

So good. We booked before heading home from our holiday. It's a small site with amazing wash facilities. Make sure you stock up on 20p's for the shower. It's 3 minutes of pure bliss. There is a restaurant within walking distance called The Crooklands. Great pitches with amazing facilities. Toilet block looks new. Perfect for a stop just off the M6 (junction 36). Fuel nearby that has a well stocked shop. Great for an overnighter if going north or south. Restaurant within walking distance of the Crooklands that has a lovely menu and atmosphere. You need to book this ahead of time. We have already booked for our return trip north.

Hi Laura, thank you for staying with us and immediately rebooking - it's really appreciated. The new shower block is proving to be very popular, the showers even more so. Enjoy your touring around I hope to host you again in the future. Paul.

Large A-class or Tag Axle Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesOct 2023

What a little gem of a site, booked 2 nights. If I hadn't had to go to work on Monday morning, I would have loved to stay longer. We arrived Friday afternoon and popped our van on our pitch and went and met a very pleasant gentleman who had arrived. He told us about where everything was on site, about dog walks and most importantly, the pub that was 200 yards away. The site is very well maintained, spotlessly clean with descent sized pitches and water at every pitch. Only recommendation is that you don't forget your levellers, as our pitch was very sloping, but never spoilt our stay and would happily return next season.

Thank you for staying with us and I'm glad that it went so well for you, Janet. Hopefully I'll be able to host you again in the future. Paul

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesOct 2023

Lovely location but a bit noisy as it is close to a busy road and the M6. The welcome from the warden was the best I have had so far anywhere, and the facilities are 5 star. Only downside is that there is no motorhome service point to dump our grey waste. Will still return in the future.

Site's response

Thank you for staying with us Mark and recommending Little Acre on Campsites.co.uk. It will be lovely to host you again in the future. Paul p.s the site is usually very quiet, but at times if the wind is in the wrong direction, we can hear the M6 in the distance.

Lovely stay

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Motorhome and Campervan PitchesOct 2023

Lovely site. A welcoming host. The shower block was immaculate, and regularly checked, as was the kitchen and laundry area. We were surprised that there was no grey water drainage option. The site is located within easy walking distance of the Crooklands pub which is worth a visit. The canal walk was a bit disappointing as it was muddy. It would be nice if whichever "authority" invested in a gravel path and keeping it tended.

Site's response

Hi Lekani, thank you for staying with us and I'm glad that you enjoyed the new shower, loo, laundry and washing up block. We're looking at providing a drive over grey waste point, but its proving to be quite difficult - like most rural sites, we're not on the mains drainage system and the drive over point would need to be connected to a soakaway. The requirements for a soakaway are quite exacting and it proving to be quite a challenge to find a suitable location! Paul P.S. the Lancaster Canal is maintained by a charity - the Canal and River Trust.

A tidy site. Lacking in some basic amenities.

Site's response

Hello Jean, thank you for your recent stay at Little Acre. Unfortunately, you hadn't advised me that you would be arriving late, so the office was closed when you got here. With it being dark when you got here, you maybe missed the EHU and water point that was immediately adjacent to your pitch. When I'm able to meet and greet people, I'm able to point out the closest facility block, which for you would have been a heated shower and loo block with complimentary shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and hairdryer. Alternatively, I would have been able to point you in the direction of our brand new heated shower, loo, laundry and washing up block - also with complimentary shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hairdryer and washing detergent. We also have complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the site and I would have helped you to log on to the Wi-Fi network. Sadly, with you arriving late and leaving early, I was unable to find out from you what basic amenities that we are lacking. Safe travels, Paul.

We recently stayed at Little Acres campsite and had a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. The proximity to a nearby great pub was a pleasant surprise, adding to the convenience and charm of the location. The campsite itself was very quiet and peaceful, offering a serene retreat away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. One of the highlights was the great dog walk in the area, providing ample space for our furry friend to stretch their legs and enjoy the outdoors. I highly recommend Little Acres for a relaxing camping experience with a delightful touch of friendliness and tranquillity.

WOW. Amazing little site. What an absolute gem. Everything was PERFECT. From the warm welcome from the owner when we arrived and the useful information he provided, to the ease of setup and location of plots. I have to say the toilet blocks are superb!!! Better than most hotel facilities. A real credit to the owners with no expense spared. Has to be our favourite site to date. Lovely canal walk, close to the pub that has plenty of outdoor seating....perfect to sit in the sunshine with the dogs. The pub itself is dog friendly too. We will be back, that's for sure. Thank you for helping us recharge ready for another week of work!

Well, we stumbled across this gem of a site as the site we were originally staying at was flooded. But my word, what a gorgeous site. The pitches were well maintained, the facilities are fantastic and the owner is extremely friendly. Lovely restaurant/bar 5 minutes away and Kendal is a stone's throw away. The only downside was there was no park for the kids. However, this didn't detract from the site and the views. We will certainly be back.
