A great location, both just off the M6 and next to the canal. The pitch was spacious, the facilities were very clean. We only stayed the one night but walked some of the canal, which was interesting. Would recommend to others visiting the area.

Second stay here and nothing to fault. A great location for day trips to the lakes and the crook lands, the pub near-by was lovely for a meal out. The site warden is super nice, the toilet and shower facilities are superb. We will stay again as we have planned more towns and villages to visit.

Location is great, nice and easy to find. Lovely campsite best one we've been to. Shower block is immaculate. It's that good we've booked again for our next stay. Paul the owner can't do enough for you, helped us out with our WiFi etc. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful little site just minutes away from the motorway so was perfect as a stopover whilst travelling south and we received a very warm welcome. Toilet/shower facilities were lovely, very modern although I thought 2 x showers and 3 toilets for the one area (unisex) was on the low side. Will definitely return as thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for staying with us and it would be lovely to host you again, Caroline. The new shower, loo, laundry and washing up block has proven to be a great success and is very popular - so popular in fact that people often go past the other shower and loo block that we have onsite (even though its closer to them!), to use the new block. Once we've completed the total refurbishment and modernisation of the other block, it'll be interesting to see which one becomes the most popular one! Paul

During our stay, the site facilities were undergoing renovation so in essence, they were halved. This did not present a problem when the site was not full, but when the campsite is full (during the weekend), it was difficult to access the facilities. If I had been aware of this at the time of booking, I most likely would not have booked our stay. In saying that, the facilities that were available were first class (With the exception of the throne room). The site is superbly located and the owner was really welcoming and friendly. Facilities renovated, I would definitely stay again.
Site's response
Thank you for staying with us and recommending us on campsites.co.uk, Stan. The complete modernisation of the gents facilities in one of the blocks continues apace and we're getting ever closer to being back to full shower and loo capacity. We've brough the "throne room" out of retirement whilst the work is being carried out, so in effect all that we've currently missing is a single urinal! I appreciate that the throne room isn't a cutting edge facility, but it's clean, fully stocked and is functional. We'd love to host you again when the gents and ladies facilities in the original facilities block have been totally replaced, refurbished and modernised (it's been a much bigger job that I envisaged when we started) Paul

If you're looking for a quiet site to relax with the best bathroom facilities ever, then this is your site. 2 min walk to hotel for meal and lovely walk along the canal if you have dogs. Paul is lovely and helpful, this place is kept clean and tidy. Lots of care and attention. I saw this site last year when attending a dog competition and I was hoping it was dog friendly and it was, yipee! All dogs were under control and safe, in case children are about. Canal is a lovely place to walk dogs, which is right on your doorstep and everyone was friendly. Cannot thank them enough as its hard to find a place with 4 dogs (all well behaved 😁) The shower and toilet were amazing, I noticed on the wall the award for this, and for me was 5* clean and to be honest, best shower ever. You pay 20p for this, but the best 20p for 3 minutes ever. First time, I just had to stay for another 3 min as it felt like a spa, lol. Between the dog competition, I went and took dogs to beach only 10 min away. Check out the tide times. The beach before Arnside meant I could park and walk dogs in a huge area. Happy, relaxed dogs but not ideal if you have mobility issues. Motorway on your doorstep with garage if needed. Thank you for a stress free stay.

We were there for a break on the road of Scotland. Hard pitches are fine, with water and electricity. Sanitaries were very nice, clean but you have to pay 20p for 3 min of shower. The little road beside is a bit noisy in the morning, but this is a great camping site.

We loved our stay at Little Acre! It was our first stop before travelling up to Scotland, and after staying at many campsites throughout the trip, it was the best and cleanest facilities that we came across. The customer service was brilliant also. We had an in-depth email of the facilities and our pitch prior to arriving and we had a very warm welcome upon arrival. Highly recommend.

Stayed 1 night at this superb site. On arrival, our welcome and pitch details were visible at reception, and it took us less than a minute to find our pitch. The owner was so friendly and very welcoming. The site was immaculate and the pitch a perfect size. Electric hook up and running water at all pitches made things so easy and accessible. The new facilities block is modern, gorgeous and has everything you need. The wonderful showers (a bargain at 20p for 3 minutes) were amazing and the toiletries and hair dryer were a welcome bonus. The laundry room was well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.

Set alongside a canal, with a nice pub/restaurant opposite, the site is in a lovely setting. We were welcomed by Paul on arrival and found our pitch with EHU and water alongside. The toilets and showers were in a new building and were the best we've found, clean and spacious with complimentary shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and more. Waste disposal at rear of block and Elsan emptying too. A small site, but the care taken by the owner to keep it looking good pays dividends.

Little Acre was our last stop on a 10 day tour of the Scottish Borders and Ayreshire. It was our 9th campsite on this tour and it didn't disappoint. A very warm welcome from Paul (wife Sarah and Sandy the dog). The shower block and washing up facilities were a credit to Paul. Definitely attention to detail and well thought out. Location to the M6, the canal and the Crooklands Hotel add to the success of this great site. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

Lovely, quiet, pretty site just next to the canal which was amazing for us with a dog. The site was clean and tidy and well organised. The communication before we went was clear, with good directions and helped knowing which pitch we were on. Fantastic pub just round the corner with amazing food. Shower facilities were newly done and super clean. The host who met us on arrival was really friendly and helpful and even booked us a table at the pub for tea! Thank you so much, we can't wait to return soon.

Little Acre Holiday Park is one of the nicest sites I have stayed on and will definitely be going back! Whilst it is small, it is set out very nicely indeed, has a shower block that is second to none and very polite and friendly host. It is in a fabulous location next to the canal and has super walks for our dog! We look forward to staying here again in the future ⭐️🏆

Greeted by the owner who was a lovely man and made to feel so welcome. The showers and toilet facilities were top class, high end finish on all the appliances and complimentary soap and shower gel provided. The pitch was large and plenty of space between vans and the grass area was very well kept. There is a canal close by and a pub across the road, what else do you need? Very tranquil, picturesque site, we will definitely stay here again and not for a stop over next time.

Excellent! Great little site. Amazing shower block immaculate. We had the best pitch onsite I think, on the edge of the camping field. Very quiet. Paul the owner was really helpful with a mind of knowledge. Great location for getting to the Lakes. We tried to book an extra night but fully booked. Free Wi-Fi throughout the site which is a bonus. Will definitely be back. We only live an hour away so great for few days stay. I'm disabled and the only thing I would suggest is a little basic shop, milk and a paper basic things. Overall, excellent.
