Little Acre Camping Reviews

Superb little site

This is an incredible little site, managed by an exceptionally friendly and helpful chap. All pitches are immaculate and the toilet/shower block, along with the washing up block (with a dryer and washing machine) are the best I have ever seen on a campsite and we have been camping regularly for the last 10 years! The location is great too; there is a really nice pub across the road, which serves excellent food and has a great choice of beers. The canal is adjoining the campsite and the south lakes hotspots are very close. You can hear the traffic from the motorway at night, but only as a dull background noise and it certainly doesn't stop you sleeping. All in all, I highly recommend this site and would definitely stay there again.

Great camping holiday

We camped here with 2 dogs. Facilities on site were amazing. Showers, toilets and wash room were top class, and even provided complimentary body wash, shampoo and conditioner. The site manager was nice and very informative, great knowledge of local area. Our only dislikes were that we couldn't peg the tent down properly due to hitting either hard clay/rock in the ground and the washing machines were slightly overpriced for the amount of time that was given.

Fantastic experience

Had an amazing time, everyone in the campsite was so friendly. The man who ran the campsite was very friendly and helpful. The toilet and shower facilities far exceeded our expectations! We will be back.

Hi Jack, I'm glad that your first camping trip was such a success for you and it'll be lovely to host you again. Paul

Lovely site

First time camping and really pleased we chose this site. Paul was very welcoming and told us everything we needed to know upon arrival. Shower/toilet/laundry/washing up block seems to be brand new and decorated and maintained to a high standard. Very convenient for scenic canal walks, Kirkby Lonsdale and all it has to offer. Good selection of takeaways in Milnthorpe and a local pub over the road. Will definitely be back.

Perfect stay, great site, super clean

Me and my girlfriend stayed 2 nights and the site was perfect, toilets and showers were super clean and modern. The staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations. The pub across the road does amazing food, highly recommend this site. 20 minute drive to Windermere as well!

Hello Harry, thank you for staying with us recently and bringing some lovely weather with you! I'm glad that your time with us went so well. Paul & Sarah.

Excellent stay at Little Acres

We had an excellent stay at Little Acres and would recommend the site for anyone wanting to stay within close proximity to the Lakes and the Yorkshire Dales. We were met on arrival by extremely friendly and helpful staff who made us feel welcome and made some local recommendations. The showers and toilet block were modern and exceptionally clean, this is one of the keys things we look for when booking a campsite and it lived up to expectations. We were recommended to eat at The Crooklands Hotel which was only a 5 minute walk - the food was excellent with generous portions and certainly didn’t disappoint. We would definitely book here again.

Hi Amy Thank you very much for the lovely review following your recent stay at Little Acre. We're glad that you enjoyed yourself and it'll be lovely to host you again. Paul

Great stop-over!

Great stop-over. Little site with all the facilities you need. The toilet/shower building was modern and neat, although I don't know how regularly they are cleaned as there was quite a lot of dust. An idea for improvement: install a change dispensers full of 20ps for customers to have showers.

Site's response

Hi Melissa. Thank you for staying with us recently and recommending us on Campsites.co.uk. The facility blocks are cleaned 4 or 5 times each day and I agree with you completely - this weekend, for whatever reason was very dusty! Even more surprising, because it was a bit, ahem rainy, a lot of the time. Since the weekend, the dust has disappeared and things are back to normal. We've looked at a 20p change machine, but the cost makes it prohibitive, so for now, the 20p change option is popping in to see me in my office where I've always got plenty of 20p's handy. I hope that you'll stay with us another time to see us dust-free again. Paul.

A really good experience for first time

This was my first time camping on a campsite. I had a really good experience. The weather was a bit annoying but that's out of our control. The owner of the campsite was very nice and polite. The toilets were amazing in terms of location and cleanliness. The other campers there were good people. We had no issues and overall, had a blast!

Hello Qais, Thank you for staying with us recently and leaving a lovely review of Campsites.co.uk Paul.

Lovely little place

Nice place, shame the pub doesn't sell food after 4pm on a Sunday.

Site's response

Hi Charmaine Thank you for staying with us over the BH weekend and rating us at 5*'s on campsites.co.uk Paul p.s The pub served meals throughout the BH weekend, but were so busy that they became booked up and weren't able to serve people who arrived without a reservation.

A lovely place to stay

We had a lovely time camping at Little Acre, we stayed on an electric-free pitch with our large tent. The owner was very welcoming and we saw him around the site checking things were all in order and tidying. The facilities were fab and very clean! Would recommend!

Site's response

Hi Amelia. Thank you for staying with us over the bank holiday weekend. We were full over the weekend and keeping everything as nicely as I could kept me busy (my step count was quite impressive to say that I didn't leave the site!) Thank you for the recommendation. Paul.

Just what we needed

Location is so handy for the M6 in both directions. You can hear the traffic but it's not bothersome, the site itself is peaceful. Site manager was really friendly and helpful. The facilities were lovely. The toilet / shower block felt luxurious and was very well maintained, as were the grounds. Only 20p for 3 min shower, complimentary toiletries and free hairdryer. Local pub etc in Crooklands which is within walking distance but also additional options in Milnthorpe, only a few minutes away by car. We travel to Scotland from Devon a few times a year and will absolutely stay here again.

Thank you for your recent stay with us at Little Acre, Carolyne. I'm glad that we were "just what you needed" and look forward to hosting you again. Paul

Camping

We had a lovely 10 night stay on a spacious pitch for our large tent. Facilities were very clean, lovely showers, very friendly owners, who were happy to chat and advise on places to visit. Definitely recommend and would return thank you.

Hi Ruth, it was a pleasure to host you and your family for your long break at Little Acre recently. Sarah will work out some new places to try for your next trip to us. Paul.

Fantastic campsite

Absolutely fantastic campsite, small and quiet. Good location, very simple to get to places further afield. Toilets and showers were absolutely brilliant, warm and clean. A lovely bakery and pub within walking distance too, absolutely would come again.

Thank you for staying with us and leaving such a lovely review of your time at Little Acre, Nicola. Paul

Basic campsite with fantastic facilities

Really lovely little campsite with amazing facilities and the loveliest owner. Shower blocks are the best I've ever seen at a campsite, as were the washing up facilities. Very warm welcome to the site, with information about local walks too. Great campsite, would have happily stayed longer.

Site's response

Hi Katie, it was lovely hosting you recently. I'm glad that things worked out for you and hopefully we can host you for longer next time. Paul and Sarah.

Fab stay at Little Acre

Our first stay and it won't be our last. A lovely site, with great facilities and very well maintained.

Site's response

Thank you Julie. You're very welcome to come to Little Acre again and I promise that I'll greet you properly next time! Paul.

Lovely little campsite!

A lovely little campsite - very close to the motorway and only a 15/20 minute drive from popular parts of the Lake District like Windermere and Kendal. The facilities were very modern and clean and well stocked up with the necessities. It's the first time I've had a limit on my shower (20p for 3mins!) but it certainly made me realise I spend far too long in my one at home! We met Paul upon arrival and he was incredibly cheerful, polite and helpful. We had plenty of space to choose from when pitching our tent. Overall, a fab weekend away!

Site's response

Hi Emma, thank you for the lovely review of your recent stay at Little Acre and I'm glad that it went so well for you. Paul.

Superb

Fab location and easy to find. Outstanding toilet and shower facilities. Very friendly and helpful owner. We had a fantastic break with our friends and will definitely be back. Only 1 tiny issue was that most of the camping pitches are on a slight slope. However, the owner offered us a choice of pitches on arrival, so it was our own choice. Thanks for a great break.

Site's response

Hi Anthony. Thank you for the lovely review and staying with us recently. The good side of the pitches being on a slight slope, is that the tent field drains very quickly and we never get any issues flooding. Hopefully I'll be able to host you again. Paul.

Excellent site

Excellent site with modern, clean facilities. Site owner very helpful and friendly. It is Cumbria, so the ground is very stony - you will need decent rock pegs and a hammer to pitch a tent!

Site's response

Hi Peter. It was really good to host you recently and I'm glad that you enjoyed your time with us. The good side of the tent field being on a bed of stones is that is drains very, very well and we rarely, if ever have instances of the tent field getting waterlogged. If anyone arrives without a hammer/mallet I've got several onsite to lend out to folk. Thank you for recommending us on Campsites.co.uk, Paul & Sarah.

Fab find

Lovely site with added touches, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner in the showers. Washing up facilities include washing up liquid too. Very clean, lovely owners! Immaculate and very friendly. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. Crooklands is a pub just across the road, if you want to eat there, I suggest booking a week in advance (which we didn't do) - should have read email provided and followed the link to book. Great little find!

Site's response

Hi Julie, thank you for your recent visit and lovely review of your stay. Hopefully I'll be able to host you again in the future. Paul.

Lovely stay

Excellent campsite. Warm welcome. Lovely kept facilities. Toiletries provided in shower.

Thank you for your visit and for recommending us on Campsites.co.uk, Gill. Paul

Lovely campsite

One of the best campsites I’ve visited. The only thing that I didn’t expect, but did get used to it quickly, was the sound of the cars on the main road which was busy throughout the night.

Site's response

Hi Llia, thank you for staying with us and bringing some lovely weather with you. You can come again! Paul

Excellent site

Just got back from Little Acre, site is friendly, clean and well run. Little extras like shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, cotton wool pads and nail files. In the wash up and laundry, you find washing up liquid and washing pods. All I can say is we will be back and will recommend it to tenting and motorhome friends 😁
