Little Acre Holiday Park Reviews

First time caravaners

On arrival was welcomed Paul and Sarah who showed us to our pitch and explained all the facilities. Site was spotless, location perfect for our first trip. Located next to the canal, perfect for walking the dogs. Would highly recommend and looking forward to returning in 2025

Great little campsite

Gorgeous little campsite. Probably the cleanest campsite we have stayed on! Owner was super friendly. Pub was 2 seconds walk away and nice food. Nice walks along the canal. All basic facilities you need when travelling in a motorhome.

Hi Vanessa Thank you for the lovely review of your recent stay with us at Little Acre. Paul

Amazing site

A brilliant little site, close to the M6. The owners are so welcoming and the site is immaculate. Yes the showers are 20p for 3 mins, but they are so worth it. The showers have lovely hot water and they are super clean, if you forget your toiletries there are plenty available. Would highly recommend to dog owners too, it's literally a 1 min walk to the canal path which goes for miles. The pub across the road is dog friendly and the food is great. Would highly recommend and we will be back.

Hi Alison Thank you for staying with us recently and I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. Enjoy your touring and I look forward to hosting you again. Paul

Perfect site

What a beautiful little site this is, everything was spotless and perfect. A lovely email beforehand, explaining everything and a very friendly and warm welcome when we arrived. A bonus was that the tow path beside the Lancashire canal is less than a minute away. We will definitely be back, thank you.

Hi Katie, Thank you for staying with us recently and for rating Little Acre so highly on Campsites.co.uk. Enjoy your touring. Paul

Overnight

Very nice stop off, a bit pricey and then a small shower charge on top, a bit strange in my opinion. But, facilities very tidy and site very clean and well kept.

Hello Peter, Thank you for your "short but sweet" stay at Little Acre. I'm glad that things worked out for you and hopefully, I'll be able to host you again. Paul

Gem of a site

Lovely little site, can see why it was runner up! Smashing fella who runs it, very welcoming. Nice walks along canal path and lovely hotel/bar across the road. We will certainly be back.

Hi John, thank you for staying with us and for the lovely compliment! Paul.

Superb

Very pleased, an excellent site and facilities, with the canal walk nearby for walks.

Site's response

Hi Paul, Thank you for the lovely review of your recent stay at Little Acre. As you discovered, the recent work on the Lancaster Canal towpath makes it much more pleasant to go for a wander ! Paul

Crookland’s little heaven

A very clean and tidy site. Family run to a T, with fantastic facilities and a beautiful location.

Hi Marc, Thank you for your recent stay with us. I'm glad that things went so well for you and that you enjoyed your stay so much. Paul

Nice little stop

A warm welcome by Paul, with plenty of info about the local area. Good facilities and a very well kept site. A lovely walk along the canal and easy access to the pub, with a good menu.

Hi Susan, Thank you for staying with us over the weekend and for rating us as 5*'s on Campsites.co.uk. I'm glad that your stay worked so well for you. Paul

Excellent

Absolute gem of a site, couldn't fault a thing. The owner greeted us and was so friendly and welcoming. Toilet blocks really clean and the shower was really good too, 40p for 6 minutes! Wouldn't hesitate to go back. The pub across the road has excellent food, be sure to book as we saw many people turned away. Overall, an excellent stay.

Hi Lauren, Thank you for staying with us recently and leaving such a lovely review of your time with us. Paul P.S. I'm going to the Crooklands for my tea tonight and I agree completely about booking before you arrive - it's a popular place!

Excellent

Excellent, small, friendly caravan site, which was our very first with our new caravan. Quiet and nearby canal nice to walk along. Staff on site very friendly and helpful. Location perfect, close to M6 and all the South Lakes places of interest.

Site's response

Hi Goodwin, Thank you for choosing Little Acre for the first trip in your new caravan - the next time you're with me you'll be caravanning veterans! Paul

Quiet site near towpath

Could have some signage as to where dishwashing facilities are. We did not know there was another area where they were located. Could do with some lighting at night as very dark.

Site's response

Hi Julie, Thank you for staying with us recently and rating Little Acre as 5*'s. The lack of information prior to your arrival was down to me - I usually send a comprehensive email pre-arrival which includes where the facility blocks are located, what facilities are available and a map on the site. Unfortunately, the area had suffered a power cut and I had to send out a bare bones message via mobile phone, rather than the detailed greetings email. I hope that you'll visit us again and have a full explore of the site! Paul

Excellent find

Absolutely brilliant place. Easy to find and pitch the van. Shame it was just an overnight stop. The toilets are immaculate, with, nail files, cotton wool balls, hand cream and anything else you might need.

Site's response

Hi Sheila Thank you for staying with us for your overnight stay (lots of people stay overnight with us and are very welcome to do so!) and rating us as 5*'s on Campsites.co.uk. Paul

Outstanding facilities

A lovely site very convenient for the M6. Our stay was only for one night and we were almost late for the check in, but this was fine after I phoned en-route. Facilities excellent and really clean, close to a lovely looking pub and the canal for walks. We found the M6 a little noisy, but the location was what we needed. A well maintained site.

Site's response

Hi Karen Thank you for your recent stay with us. Your phonecall made all the difference, as I could reassure you that all was good with your arrival time. Hopefully we can host you again in the future. Paul & Sarah

A great park

This is a fantastic family run park that was central to everything we wanted to do in the area. The facilities were spotless and the attention to detail unbelievable with extras provided in the showers and washrooms. The washer dryer facilities were also faultless. The pitch we had was perfect for our needs as we tow a motorcycle trailer behind the motorhome. However, looking around the site, we didn't see any bad pitches. The family who run it were so friendly and always on hand, and happy to help with any questions we had regarding the local area. This is a park that we will use many times in the future. 5 stars is a true reflection!

Hi Andrew, Thank you for the lovely review of your recent stay at Little Acre - by complete chance, the following visitor onto your pitch was a motorhome with motorbike trailer as well! Enjoy your touring and we'll see you next time. Paul & Sarah

Great site with great facilities

Great location, clean and great facilities.

Site's response

Thank you Susan. Enjoy your touring around. Paul.

Perfect site in every way

Excellent site, well maintained and the facilities have been well thought out. Clean, very clean. Close to the Lakes and Dales and perfect for stop overs as well as longer stays. Didn't see anyone or staff on site but contact via email left instructions and left to own devices. Great site will be be back

Site's response

Hi Robert, thank you for staying at Little Acre and rating your stay so highly on Campsites.co.uk. I'm sorry that I didn't get the chance to say hello - my son was playing rugby 100 or so miles away, which meant that we'd set off before you arrived and it was dark when we got back! Usually, I'm around and about all day to meet, greet, show people around and help in any way that I can. Next time around we'll be able to put faces to names! Paul.

Convenient stop over

A very convenient place to stop over on way to/from Scotland along the M6 with easy access off of the motorway. No-one to greet or book us in so we just pitched up on the space advised earlier by email. Facilities all good and clean. Unable to empty grey eater tank as slight uphill grade to the drain made this impossible. Overall, pleased with our stopover and would consider again.

Site's response

Hello Don, thank you for choosing Little Acre for your stopover. On your arrival day, a family commitment 100 miles away meant that I couldn't be here when you arrived, but I'm glad that the pre arrival email including directions straight to your assigned pitch, a map of the site and details of all of the facilities at Little Acre meant that you were able to find your pitch and enjoy your convenient stopover. Paul.

Fantastic

Spotless facilities, beautiful views will definitely be returning 👍

Hello Aicha, thank you for staying with us recently. Here's to your next trip to Little Acre. Paul.

Great site

We've just stayed here for 3 nights as we were visiting friends in Arnside, so it was ideal for us. It's a great little site, well kept and the owners are lovely, very helpful and friendly. The shower block is lovely and clean and has some nice little personal touches, the only draw back is there were only 2 toilets and one shower in the block we used, hence the 4 stars. Will definitely stay again when we're back in the area.

Site's response

Hi Cath, thank you for staying with us and leaving such a lovely review of your stay at Little Acre. We have 2 shower and loo blocks at Little Acre and you were closest to the smaller of the two - but size isn't everything and the loos and showers would have been always available for you, without having to wait. Enjoy your (long!) trip home and it'll be lovely to host you another time. Paul.

Highly recommended

An excellent little site, run by very helpful and welcoming people. The location is fab, it was easy run into Kendal for the shops and places to eat. I highly recommend this site and will definitely be returning.

Site's response

Hi Brad, thank you for staying with us recently and leaving a such a lovely review of us on Campsites.co.uk. We look forward to hosting you again. Paul & Sarah.

Spotless facilities. Very friendly

A lovely quiet site, 19 mins away from Kendal centre. With friendly hosts and spotless facilities.

Site's response

Thank you for staying with us Tracey. As well as going to Kendal, quite a few folk have a short trip to Kirkby Lonsdale as well, both are about 7 miles away. Plus on Mon-Sat you can take the bus to either place, with the bus stop being about 200 yards away. Paul

Few days of sight seeing

We have stayed at many sites during our travels and have had personal wet rooms allocated to our pitch in 2 of them. But the standard of Little Acre's toilet/shower facilities, laundry room and washing up area was 5 *. They were absolutely immaculate and were better than some hotels! A fairly good route to the main attractions of the Coniston & Windermere lakes, obviously driving not walking. A great pub only minutes away (walking), Paul was a great guy, he showed us around as we arrived and was always helpful. The showers were 20p and were fantastic! Thank you.
