About Little Acre Holiday Park

Little Acre is a family-run caravan, campervan and motorhome site suitable for those wanting peace and tranquillity on their trip away. The site is less than two miles from junction 36 of the M6 yet located in a calming rural setting, which makes it an ideal stopping off point if you are on a long North to South, South to North trip, or if you are looking for an ideal base to explore the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. All motorhome, caravan, campervan and roofbox pitches are flat and set on hardstanding on local limestone, with 16 amp electric hook up immediately adjacent to them and reliable, strong and free WiFi included with every booking. All pitches also have a tap very close to them. Located adjacent to the Lancaster Canal, with views of the swans and wildlife, it's perfect for those who arrive on site with dogs and ideal for those who like to walk along a canal towpath and unwind. If holidaying in your tent, head to the neighbouring Little Acre Campsite!

Little Acre Holiday Park is open from 01/03 to 23/11 in 2024 and from 28/02 to 22/11 in 2025.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesNov 2024

Lovely, small site and conveniently located just off the M6. The recently opened facilities are excellent. The only downside was that there was quite a lot of noise from the nearby road.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesNov 2024

A great small site, conveniently placed, with the most fantastic 'hotel like' facilities. We used this as an overnight stop over but we made the most of it, the Lancaster Canal and the fantastic Crooklands Inn, were just outside the site. The owners were really welcoming and helpful. The showers and toilets were the most immaculate we have experienced and recommend highly. They were clean, fresh and had complimentary toiletries. I enjoyed it all, I didn't use the nail files! Excellent.

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesNov 2024

Great little site, a chanced upon trip down south. A few minutes off the M6. It's a lovely site, in pretty countryside and right next to the canal walk. It was super for dog walks. There was a beautiful new shower block, you need 20p for 3 minutes, but well worth it for a very nice waterfall type shower. Even the older shower block was nice and very clean. Definitely hoping to visit again.

Hi Wilma, thank you for the lovely review of your recent stay at Little Acre. Enjoy your travels and it would be lovely to host you and the pooches next year. Paul.
