Little Acre Camping
4.85 /5
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.

About the site
This camping base is family-run and offers a peaceful break in a rural setting, less than two minutes from the M6 with the Lake District and beautiful Yorkshire Dales both 15 minutes away. This is a nice stopping off point if you are on a long road trip, whether southbound or northbound. Tent pitches are spacious and the tent field is never overcrowded. All tents enjoy complimentary, fast and reliable WiFi and if you book an electric pitch, you'll have a 10 amp hook up too. The pitches for campervans, sprinter campervans and motorhomes are flat hardstanding pitches, with electric hook up and water adjacent to them. You can meet the wildlife along the adjacent Lancaster Canal, which is home to ducks, swans, herons and more - perhaps even cattle paddling in the canal at times! The site is dog friendly with the canal towpath making a great place for your four legged friends to stretch their legs or for humans to have a wander and unwind. There is a shop in a 24-hour petrol station and a bakery in the village of Endmoor - both are about a ten minute walk away. Please note, if in a tent, the youngest age of a camper is 12 years old and Little Acre only tales single pitch bookings. The onsite WiFi covers the entire site.
Little Acre Camping is open from 28/02 to 15/11.

Stayed for one night on our way down south. The site is immaculate, spacious and peaceful. We will definitely be back.

Hi Christine, thank you for staying with us for your "one nighter". With us being just a mile from junction 36 on the M6, we get a lot of people using us as a break in their journey, having a pint across at the pub and then going for a wander along the Lancaster Canal that runs adjacent to us. Enjoy your travels. Paul.
Amazing little find.

What can I say, Little Acres has to be one of the best sites I have ever stayed at, Paul was very helpful and he is a really nice chap. The toilet/shower block was immaculate, and the pub was only a short walk away serving lovely food. There were dogs almost in every camper and it was nice to see so many all getting along. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we will be back soon, just planning our next get away. See you soon.
lovely small site

Things to do on site and in the Milnthorpe area
Lots of things to see and do within easy reach, starting with teeing off at the excellent golf courses within a short drive - Kirkby Lonsdale, Windermere, Kendal and Grange.
Dawdle along the towpath of the Lancaster Canal, where kids can look out for wildlife and birds or you can take a trip on the Water Witch canal boat for a small fee every weekend for that extra relaxation. Of course, any time you fancy refreshment there's the good food and drink at the hotel very near to site.
A ten minute drive will bring you to the market town of Kendal and the entrance to the wonderful Lake District or, to the east, the entrance to the Yorkshire Dales. The Lake District National Park is a 15 minute drive to the west and has some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK. It can be reached easily by car.
The site is within walking distance from Westmorland County Showground, which hosts many events during the year, including the annual Westmorland County Show.
