This dog friendly touring park is adjacent to the tranquil Lancaster Canal, ideal for dog walking and relaxing. Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale are close by and accessible by a bus stop 100m away.

We were made very welcome by the owner from the very 1st minute we arrived until the time we left. The site is very clean and tidy. Shower blocks are great & clean with shampoo, body wash and conditioner provided that is situated within the shower cubicle. Its great for walking with easy access to the canal tow path. There is a local pub just up the road that is affordable. I would recommend this site. We'll definitely be coming back.

Great site, only thing I would change is no disabled facilities and I struggled in shower with nothing to hold onto. Toilet block was spotless, modern, personal touches like flowers, jar of cotton balls, mini emery boards, jars of scented oils, free soap, shampoo conditioner in showers. However, there's a 20p charge for 3 mins, can this not be added onto site fees? A new shower block I am told has been granted planning permission, and a laundry room would make this 5 out of 5 for me. The owners are amazing, always on the go keeping it well attended to and attention to detail is great. With pitches that are uneven, they have supplied levelling ramps or large flat stones to assist with levelling - a great touch.

When we get the new shower, loo and laundry block with accessible facilities, please come back again and hopefully we'll get that 5* from you, Margaret. When the showers were free, we got multiple instances of people repeatedly pressing the "free shower" button that either a) exhausted the entire hot water tank which meant that no one else could have a shower until it was reheated or b) emptied the 47kg propane gas cylinder that meant we couldn't offer showers until we could get another cylinder delivered. Since reintroducing the 20p for 3 min charge, we've never run out of hot water or gas! Plus, we now offer complimentary high quality shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, which we didn't do before.

All round excellent

Very clean campsite, toilets and showers were spotless. Brilliant locations and the Crooklands Hotel was a great recommendation. Delicious food and great service. Only stayed one night passing through, but would highly recommend.

Only a stay over but we were impressed and will definitely return. Clean, friendly, so well kept and facilities spot on. Thanks!!
Site's response
Thank you for the lovely review, Steve, and recommendation on Campsites.co.uk. We have a lot of people using the site as a one night stopover - the combination of being 2 mins from junction 36 on the M6, having a pub 200 yards away and the Lancaster Canal opposite our main entrance works very for travellers.

Had to book 2 single nights because of pitch availability. Greeted by Paul on arrival, who managed to juggle bookings and gave us a pitch that we didn't need to move. Toilets, showers and site all well looked after, well presented and spotless. Paul is full of local info and very obliging. We would definitely return.

Thank you Ciaran. I'm glad that the "caravan site pitch juggling" worked for you and that your stay was a success. Paul

A fantastic time at a well managed, beautiful site. Would recommend! This site has everything you need. It is local to a lovely little pub and a garage that sells pretty much anything! Not too far up the road is Booths, a store that sell everything.

We needed a stay on the way down from Scotland to Devon (our home) and this seemed a great middle ground. We were worried about checking in time, but we called Paul who put our minds at ease. We changed pitch when we arrived with no problem - simply due to us liking a pitch slightly better and Paul helped us with everything. A great guy. The site was lovely and near a towpath which was great to take the dog and very close to a pub which was good - although we couldn't go there for food as fully booked (so book up) but instead got amazing takeaway fish and chips from the next village that Paul recommended. The only thing for us was the fact the showers took 20p coins for 3 mins - I don't mind a little charge but we simply do not carry small change anymore. I would suggest a timing mechanism of 5 minutes per shower meaning you aren't rushed but you also aren't just using the water unnecessarily - which is why I guess the charge went in. Add 50p to the site charge! We had a lovely time, felt rested and will return I am sure. Thank you Paul.
Site's response
Thank you for the lovely review, Mark, and I'm glad that your stay with us was a success. We reintroduced the 20p for 3 mins for the showers after we'd had repeated instances of people hitting the "press here for hot shower" button (as in pressing in dozens of times) which either a) drained all of the hot water, stopping anyone else having a shower or b) emptied the 47kg gas cylinder which meant that we couldn't run the showers until the cylinder could be replaced (plus wasted over £70 on a replacement cylinder). We let people know when booking that the showers are 20p and we mention it again in the confirmation - plus, I've always got plenty of 20ps onsite to change for people. On the plus side, when we reintroduced the 20p for 3 mins, we also added complimentary luxury shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Paul & Sarah

Just used this site for a stopover heading further South, but you could have stayed longer. Facilities all to hand. Good location for the Lakes and lovely pub/restaurant within walking distance.

Good spacious site, neat and tidy, great pub across the lane and good walks along the canal. Easy to reach Lancaster and Kendal and South Lakes. Would have liked extra toilets.
Site's response
Thank you for the lovely review and recommendation Michael. We've recently got planning permission for a new shower, loo and laundry block, so for 2023 we'll have additional, brand new facilities.
Fabulous

We had a lovely weekend away, we went out for tea to the Bulls Head a couple of miles away, as the Crooklands was full. We also went on the canal boat for a small charge. Also, we enjoyed family games that Paul and Sarah supplied. Really looking forward to returning.

Thank you Jo. You certainly packed a lot into your stay with us. It'll be lovely to host you again so that you can explore even further! Paul & Sarah

We only stayed here one night on our journey from Cornwall to Scotland- it was the perfect stopover. Easy to find (great instructions!), close to the M6, very clean, not too many pitches, quiet area and a fab Inn a couple of minutes walk away. What's not to like! Would definitely stay again if in the area.
Site's response
Thank you, Claire. Over the season we have lots of people doing exactly what you've done and using us as a very convenient stopover to break up a long journey, from North to South or vice versa. If you're around this way again, we'd love to host you again! Paul & Sarah

Very nice campsite with individual charm. We were warmly welcomed by the very friendly owner and had a good stay. The sanitary facilities are a bit older, but were very clean and we didn't want for anything!
Site's response
Thank you for the 5* rating and recommendation Christine. Yes, the facilities aren't young anymore, but I manage to keep them as clean as clean and fully stocked. If you return to Little Acre in the future, I'll have a brand new loo, shower and laundry facility to show you! Paul

Little Acres is a lovely site with friendly owners. Paul was very informative of the area and gave a recommendation of the Crooklands Hotel. It was just across the road and they served lovely food and had lovely friendly staff and also allowed dogs in the bar area. The site lies right by the Lancaster Canal where you can walk your dog along the banks. The toilets and showers were spotless and provided toiletries for use, should you have left anything behind at home or in the caravan. We would definitely return to this site again.

Great little site, just off M6. Owner was really helpful and friendly. Some pitches are on a slope, so you need blocks for the motorhome.
Site's response
Thank you Stuart. It's always nice to see a customer rating us as 5*. For the very few motorhome pitches that are on a very slight slope, I leave self levelling ramps for people to use, which seems to be well received. Paul

Great little campsite. Good people. Great facilities. Very dog friendly. Great/safe for kids. You need 20ps for the shower. Not very far from the M6 so a plus from accessibility, but you can hear the traffic a bit if you are looking for silence. Will definitely go again. Thank you.

Hi Ann I'm glad that you enjoyed your short get away at Little Acre. Yes, the showers are 20p for 3 mins, but on the plus side, we also provide complimentary shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. It would be lovely to host you and the pooches again in the future. Paul

Tucked away little site right next to Lancaster canal. Well kept and peaceful. Only one shower, but worth the 20 pence as nice and hot. Will definitely go back.

Hi Jacqueline. I'm glad that you enjoyed your peaceful break at Little Acre. When you come back, I'll show you where the other shower and loo block is OR, if you are back in 2023, where are brand new and much larger loo, shower and laundry block is. Paul
