We only stayed 2 nights on our way back to Scotland from a longer stay South, but loved the site and found the man who booked us in very friendly and accommodating. The facilities were spotlessly clean and the ladies toilets were very pleasant, with the fab mirrors and wee extras, cotton wool balls etc đź’•

I'm glad that your mini break on the Scotland trip worked so well for you Tracey. Enjoy the rest of your travels. Paul

What an absolute gem of a place. Just ended our nc500 trip, and a perfect place for a relaxing 2 night stay! We can honestly say it was the best place we found on our 10-day trip! Great walks for the dog and a delicious lunch at the pub 5 mins away! Paul the owner, was very pleasant and helpful. As he said it's "his happy place" and it shows with the hard work he puts into it! Will definitely be back as soon as possible.

Excellent location for visiting the Westmorland Show.
Site's response
Thank you Diane. With us being only 1/4 mile from the Westmorland County Showfield and the Showfirld being accessible from the Lancaster Canal towpath that runs parallel to Little Acre, it's an absolute doddle getting to any of the events that are hosted there, plus you don't have to walk along the road. A winner all round! Paul

Paul was very helpful, nothing too much to assist with a problem. The only negative we had was the lack of signal for the TV. A lovely tidy site and clean toilets and showers. Will definitely recommend it to family and friends.
Site's response
Thank you for the lovely review and recommendation on Campsites.co.uk, Jennifer. The TV reception around our area can be very hit and miss, as we're on the border of 2 transmitters. If it helps your planning for a future visit - the wifi at Little Acre is strong and reliable and most visitors watch TV via a Kindle firestick, or on Freesat which both work really well. Until next time, Paul.
Perfect stay with stunning scenery!

We were welcomed to the site by a very pleasant gentleman who informed us where our pitch was and the location of the available facilities (including the pub down the road). The shower cubicles were a decent size with shampoo, conditioner and body wash in dispensers and cotton buds/balls and mini nail files free to make use of. The showers were 20p for 3 minutes which was enough for a freshen up. The temperature however was more warm than hot but this wasn't an issue for us. The site is beautiful with cows grazing in the surrounding fields and brightly coloured flowers dotted about. We all had a lovely undisturbed sleep and woke up to the sun shining, what more could we ask for! We would highly recommend this site and would definitely stay again.

I'm glad that your stay at Little Acre went so well Jade and that you enjoyed yourself so much. Thank you for recommending us on Campsites.co.uk and I look forward to hosting you again. Paul P.S. I'll go and double check the thermometer that I use for checking the shower temperature - it's been showing at 41deg C all season so far.
Lovely little gem

Fantastic little site, just off junction 36. Really easy to get to, but just far enough away to feel like a real break. The site was scrupulously clean and well looked after, and the owners were lovely and friendly. If you're outdoorsy and sporty, the site is perfect for nearby cycling, running and is in easy reach of the lakes. There is somewhere close for paddle boarding too. We loved it, we'd love to go back!! Thank you.

We stayed here last year and enjoyed it, so we definitely weren't going to pass it and not stay again this year while travelling from Cairnryan to Wales. It's such handy access from the motorway, though when you're onsite you wouldn't believe it's so close. It's easy to access the Lakes from here. The facilties are great, would highly recommend. We definitely look forward too returning on our next overseas adventure.

Owners are fabulous, very friendly and helpful with the area and places to go. Site is kept immaculate. Only criticism is there is only one toilet in the mens and one shower per block. Although it's a small site, it could do with at least 2 as there were queues to use the shower. Also, it cost 20p for 3 mins, which is strange when no one carries cash anymore and they're not warm. The site is right on the canal for walks, but comes to a dead end either side. There are kayaks to hire 5 mins away but can only go so far down the canal and you have to turn back. The pub over the road is lovely, but expensive. You also need to book in advance as it's popular.

I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay at Little Acre over the BH weekend, Collette - our busiest time of the year when we were at 100% capacity. Yes, additional showers and loos would be ideal at the busiest times of the year and with the planning permission that we have just received, will be in place for 2023. The showers will continue to be 20p for 3 mins, as this ensures that there is always plenty of hot water available (when they were free, we had repeated issues of people leaving the showers running and draining all the hot water.) If you're on foot and going towards Kendal, the canal towpath runs for 2 and a half miles, then the canal runs dry. From this point, what was the towpath becomes a public footpath that you can walk onwards towards Kedal, a further 5 and a half miles away. Alternatively, if you go on foot towards Lancaster on the towpath, the canal runs for 1/3 mile, then walk around the bridge and pick up the towpath again which will take you to Lancaster and beyond- maybe somewhere to explore another time!

This was our second visit to this great little site. In a great location for dog walking and a lovely welcoming pub opposite to enjoy an afternoon drink and serving lovely food if you fancy a change from cooking. The site and facilities are well kept, the pitches are big and the owners can’t do enough for you. The site is situated five minutes from the M6 although you wouldn’t think so as it’s so quiet. It’s a perfect location for exploring the lakes or to just chill out for a few days. We will definitely be back again.

Had our first stay at Little Acre. On arrival - wow, it looked stunning - immaculate, nice large pitches and it got even better. We met Paul, the owner. A fantastic guy who was always there to help if needed. We had great walks along canal with our 3 dogs. A perfect relaxing site. Kendal is only 15 minutes for all your shopping. Great walks. There is a fantastic restaurant 500 yards away but you're better off booking as it gets busy. Our only downside was that we had to come back early as one of our pups was not well. Only missed one night. We will be back soon - 10/10

Lovely place to stay, 1 mile or so from the M6 near Kendal and South Lakes turn off. 10 minutes to Kendal. It has nice facilities on site. The owners should be commended for the high quality of the caravan site. Nice Pub/restaurant 2 minutes walk away. We will go again - it is a lovely place to stay.

Great stay. Paul the owner very accommodating and friendly. Nice little site, quite quiet. Close to the canal and river for a walk with dogs. Could do with a few more toilets as people were queuing up. Overall, a pleasant stay and not to far off the motorway. Good location. Will return again.

It was lovely to host you and I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay Darren. We are building a much larger loo, shower and laundry block this winter, which should improve things for everyone. Paul
