This was our first holiday in our own caravan. We took our 5 dogs with us. Little Acre is a lively quiet holiday park with some lovely walks & scenery.

Located just a few minutes from M6 J36, this high quality site is ideal to explore the South Lakes or as a convenient stopover for onward journeys. The hard standings are level, spaced and well serviced. There are two toilet and shower blocks, both very modern and kept super clean. Upon arrival, we were made very welcome. Just a short walk from the site is the Crooklands hotel, which offers sensibly priced high quality food and well kept real ale - please just be careful crossing the main road as the traffic is fast and the visibility not great, especially when dark. A short drive away is the village of Milnthorpe which has many amenities including some excellent cafes. Overall an excellent, well managed site. Recommended.

Nice welcome on arrival. Shown to pitch. Only a small camp but all the facilities were spotlessly clean. Brand new shower and toilet block with launderette and washing up area. 20p for the best three minute shower I've ever had. 3 minutes was easily enough time.

I'm glad that your stay at Little Acre worked out so well for you, Ste. Paul & Sarah.

Lovely, small site. Toilets and showers absolutely lovely. Very well maintained grounds. Owners very friendly and knowledgeable. Slight road noise but didn't keep us awake. Would definitely go back. Hotel restaurant across the road reasonably priced. Food lovely. Bus stop just outside on main road.

Communication prior to the stay was great. During the stay when I had a question the response was extremely quick and helpful. The shower block we used was super clean and very warm. The only criticism was the 20p per 3 minute shower. It seems a bit strange in addition to the cost for the pitch. The site is situated on the 567 bus route from Kendal to Kirkby Lonsdale and we were able to visit both places. The local pub/restaurant was a two-minute walk away and was worth a visit (book in advance). The canal towpath is next to the site and provided a lovely and easy walk. We would return and enjoyed our stay.
Site's response
Thank you for staying with us and we'd love to host you again, Carole. The showers have been 20p for 3 mins for an awful long time, but for a while, the showers became free. Sadly, we had multiple instances of people repeatedly pushing the hot water button until either a) the hot water ran out or b) (even worse) the 47kg gas cylinder was emptied. With a) the showers were unusable for 45 mins until the hot water was replenished, with b) the showers weren't usable until the following day when the expensive gas cylinder could be replenished - both scenarios were incredibly annoying for customers and me alike! When we reintroduced the 20p for 3 mins, we also added complimentary shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, heated and illuminated mirrors and hairdryers - plus, the showers have never run out of hot water again!

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.
Site's response
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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
