Whether you're exploring the Dales or the Lakes, Little Acre Camping is ideal - only a 15 minute drive from both. Relax in the tent here and take the pooch for a stroll by the peaceful Lancaster Canal (just adjacent to site) or hop on a convenient bus to Kendal or Kirkby Lonsdale (both 15 minutes away). Just across the road, about a five minute walk away is the popular dog friendly Crooklands Hotel, with a bar and very good food served all day.

Very homely campsite and very welcoming. Spotless facilities. Very well maintained and organised. A little bit noisy from traffic in the tent field but otherwise very relaxing.
Site's response
Hi Margaret. Thank you for recommending us to others on Campsites.co.uk. The tent field is the closest to the road and IIRC, there was a lot of tractors doing haytiming during your stay. Fingers crossed that you next visit is quieter. Paul

Was our first camping holiday with our dogs. Very warm and welcoming hoist. Spacious tent pitches. Ideal location for dogs. The toilets for the camping side would be much better if they were the same size as the caravan ones but other than that everything is spot on. Highly recommend and will be returning!
Site's response
Hi Jodie. I'm glad that your first trip camping was so successful and that you're coming back to stay with us again. In the last few weeks, we've had planning permission approved and this Winter we are adding a new and much larger shower and loo facility, with extra wash basins, extra washup sinks, laundry facilities and underfloor heating - which will be larger than the facilities on the caravan "side" ! Until next time. Paul

First time staying at this lovely little campsite and really enjoyed our 2 night stay, so much so we have booked to stay again in 2 weeks. Pizza on Friday night is a fantastic bonus and very tasty. Country Fest was on, which made for a very enjoyable Saturday morning, then we had a lovely walk along the canal to watch Hutton Roof Crags Fell Race. Sunny weather made the weekend even more enjoyable. Looking forward to our next stay already.

Lovely site and Paul the site owner was great too. It was clean and quiet after 10pm. I couldn't believe how good the WiFi on the site is either, kept my 14 year old happy!

What a little gem this site is, slap bang on the canal and the views are fantastic. The pizza van on Friday nights is ace and the owners and son were very welcoming. The facilities are perfect and it's a small perfect site. Will definitely stay again, thank you.

Lovely little campsite that is conveniently located not far from the M6 and a short drive for the Lakes and Kendal etc. We stayed the weekend of the Crooklands country festival, which was a short walk away along the canal. The facilities are spotless and perfect for our needs. The owners are fantastic, very friendly and helpful and helped us out when we forgot our 240-110v adapter. We arrived on Friday night and they were doing stone baked pizzas to order. Great little campsite, dog friendly, kids had fun and would definitely recommend.

Booked to try out new tent, but loved the site. Paul was an extremely nice bloke and the site was very clean and tidy. Facilities small, but very clean & warm. Only stayed 2 nights but definitely going back. Right on the Lancaster canal & only just over 15 minutes to Kendal.

Hello Sean. I'm glad that your 2 day 'tent trial' went well and that you are looking to return to Little Acre. We love returning customers! See you next time, Paul

Me and my boyfriend stayed over the weekend, last minute spontaneous camping for our anniversary! We had the best time, Paul is lovely and extremely friendly. We had trouble with our tent the minute we arrived, to then realise it had broken (we should've checked it before putting it in the carπ)! Paul came over with some tape which was lovely of him! Safe to say we had to go and buy another tentππ The showers are 20p for 3 minutes which we think is very good and the water was lovely and warm too! You can tell the owners go out of their way to help anyone and this campsite was just perfect for our first time camping together! We wanted to thank you in person, Paul, but we had to leave early hours of the morning as our tent just decided to give up because of the wind π Highly recommend this place! Thank you for a lovely stay x

Hi Sarah. Thank you very much for your lovely review - it's a shame that your tent(s) let you down on your anniversary break. Hopefully it won't put you off camping and we'll be able to host you again in the future. Paul & Sarah

We stayed here with our 3 young children and had the best time! The staff are fantastic and very approachable/friendly. We made use of the local bus stop for a trip to Kendall which was beautiful. The grounds are very well maintained and the facilities are spot on. We would definitely recommend this site and will definitely be returning in the near future.

Thank you for the lovely review Cindy - it's always nice when someone gives us 5* and recommends us on Campsites.co.uk. I'm glad that you all enjoyed your stay at Little Acre and it will be good to host you again in the future. Paul

The stay at the Little Acre was great, the hosts were always available and the whole place was very clean. Only small thing to be aware of is the tents are located close to the road, and the traffic can be heard at times. But it wouldn't stop me staying again. 5*

We really enjoyed our stay at Little Acre. Really warm welcome and exit. The site had a really homely feel and wasn't too busy. Great location just off the M6 and close to Kendal. The canal is right on the site and there's a lovely pub over the road. We will definitely be returning :)

Stayed here for 1 night for a practice run with my new tent. The host was absolutely lovely and very welcoming. The facilities were fine, nice and clean (and heated which was a blessing in March!). There is a lovely hotel/ bar across the road which serves amazing food and is dog friendly. My only gripe would be the noise from the surprisingly busy road.
