We had a fabulous stay at Little Acres campsite. The site is very clean and well run, the shower and toilets are lovely and clean, it costs 20p for 3 minutes and we all managed a good shower for no more than 60p each! The owner was very friendly and helpful. Lovely walk down by the canal and a great pub a stones throw from site which is also dog friendly!

Lovely little site with a really friendly guy. Arrived late but was messaged ahead with pitch number as reception closed so, perfect. Great pub/restaurant just around the corner. Facilities were all clean, but limited at the moment. New shower block being built, so that'll be great. Lovely canal walk within 3 minutes walk. Would recommend.

This site is very handy for M6. Basic facility block kept clean by friendly warden - the shower was very good, 20p for 3 mins. Access to lovely canal opposite entrance. Crooklands Hotel short walk away - booking advisable for meals. Good location for visiting Sizergh Castle, Levens, Kirby Lonsdale and Lakes. Quiet and relaxing.

Your experience starts even before you arrive, with a very friendly, informative email from the owners telling you your pitch number. They're also really quick to answer any emailed questions you may have. The site is dead handy for the M6, although you'd never know you were that close as its quiet and you are completely in the countryside. There is a canal opposite with lovely walks and the added bonus of a swan family complete with 8 cygnets! There were very well behaved dogs on site while we stayed so obviously lots of good dog walks around. We were there for the Great North Swim and it was 20-30 minutes to the main transport points of Bowness and Brockhole. The site has two areas - one with hard standings for tourers/mohos, and a camping field with a few hard standing pitches along one edge. Each has a facilities block, although we only used the one in the touring area which was spotless and well stocked, with lots of little extras like cotton buds and emery boards should you have emergencies. The showers had lots of hot water and were 20p for 3 minutes which is plenty, and in a shower room rather than a cramped cubicle. There's a hair dryer on the wall too. They are building a new facilities block in the camping field which I'm sure will be of the same high standard. The owner dropped by to check all was OK and have a little chat, and was available but inconspicuous all day - other than that you are left to your own devices if you want to be. They were generous with sharing information and seem to have spares of everything should you need it! The pitches all have EHU and water very close by - it's as close to being fully serviced without actually being fully serviced as you could be. There's been a lot of work done since we were there last year, and our pitch looked really smart. They've changed the entrance to the camping field which makes it feel more open and the two areas feel more connected. We were in a caravan and had friends in two tents so appreciated that a lot. The birds also loved the open hedge that has been exposed by making this change as they were in and out all day! The pitches are level but not necessarily flat - not a criticism at all, just the geology of the area, but a note to readers to have steady blocks/wedges - although I'm sure the owners will be able to sort you out if you haven't! Definitely recommend this site and hopefully be back next year!

Fabulous small site with great easy access from M6 (1 mile); very friendly welcome; great towpath walk and good pub/hotel very close; good shower facilities with lovely touch of toiletries etc. more new facilities under construction. Good, mostly level, hardstanding pitches with EHU and water to each. We'll be back!
Site's response
Hi Catherine. Thank you for rating us as 5*. Whilst you were here, you were on pitch #30 which has become the most requested motorhome/campervan pitch for rebookings in 2023 since we moved things around. Enjoy your travels and it will be lovely to host you again in the future. Paul

Beautiful location, garden is beautiful, plenty of space, toilets are the best I have ever seen. Beautiful walk along the tow path, a hidden gem. So close to M6 so a great stop off point. Friendly staff, and rabbits, ducks, loved it.

Hi Brenda - you missed mentioning the swans and cygnets! "Our" swans, on the canal just opposite the main entrance, have just had 9 cygnets and give everyone a smile that spots them floating on by. Paul & Sarah

Upon arrival, the manager was very polite and welcoming. When we arrived the campsite was busy due to a local festival. Good mix of campers, campervans and caravans. For the amount of people staying at the location, there would have could have been more toilets/showers. Although there did look like a new building was being built, which might be more facilities. Just remember 20ps as you'll need them for the showers. Showers had a tendency to get colder closer to the end of a 3-minute cycle.
Site's response
Hi Rob Thank you for the review and recommendation. Yes, you're correct, there is a new shower, loo & laundry block being built onsite, which we anticipate being open by the end of June and once completed, we'll have double the capacity, plus additional washup & hand wash facilities. I'm off now to double check the performance of the shower as it should run at a consistent temperature all the time - getting cooler as it get closer to 3 mins isn't part of the plan. The showers are 20p for 3 mins and we have complimentary shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and hairdryers to use as well. Travel well and hopefully I'll be able to host you again in the future. Paul

I cannot rate Little Acre highly enough, just spent 2 nights and wish it had been longer. From arrival to departure, Paul could not do enough to make my stay perfect. I have 2 little dogs, one is on chemotherapy and it has made her very reactive to other dogs, not aggressive just very vocal, which can make staying on a site very stressful. Well, she like me must have felt very much at ease as she only barked twice, I cannot wait to return. Thank you so much Paul.

Hi Pauline. Little Acre is very dog friendly and it sounds like your 2 pooches were every bit as chilled as you were. Hopefully we'll be seeing you again, sooner, rather than later! Paul

A very warm welcome was received from the owner to this beautifully cared for and located site. The site when busy could do with another toilet block but the owner is addressing this with a new build. We loved the fact it was well situated close to the motorway and to the Lancaster canal (brilliant for walking a busy spaniel). The toilet facilities were immaculate , each hard standing had its own water/electric point and nothing seemed to be too much trouble for the owner who lives on site. It was quiet and the other campers/caravan owners respectful of each other. There appeared to be many people who were regular returners to the site as well as tourers. Highly recommended if you need a night stopover or wish a longer stay to visit the south lakes or Yorkshire Dales
Site's response
I think that you've summed up Little Acre spot on, Lorraine! When you stayed with us, we had every pitch taken, so we were as full as we were ever going to be. The new toilet/loo/laundry block that you saw being built onsite*** is about 3 times the size of the one that it is replacing and once completed will be a welcome addition. Thank you for the lovely review. Paul *** it should have been ready for Whit BH weekend, but unfortunately the timetable has slipped a bit
