Excellent site and facilities. Also, excellent location and a short distance to Crooklands Hotel, bar and restaurant. Special mention to Paul for his friendly welcome. Already booked for June.

Hello Matthew, Thank you for telling everyone on Campsites.co.uk about your recent stay at Little Acre. I hope that June will be a bit warmer and drier for you! See you again soon, Paul.
Plot 1

We were given plot 1, which I asked to change to a different plot as plot 1 is set side on rather than facing forward. I have anxiety and need bushes or trees behind the caravan or side. I was told that the only other plot was next to a house that was being built so therefore would be noisy. I was disappointed to see on my stay that plot 6 was never in use and would have been a better plot for my comfort/anxiety. I didn't think plot one should be a plot, there's an access road right in front of the caravan making it awkward to sit outside as cars keep driving past. The site was clean and the owner was friendly but I will not be returning to Little Acre Caravan Site.

Hello Natalie, thank you for staying at Little Acre recently. I'm sorry to read that your anxiety issues meant that you couldn't enjoy your stay with me. Pitch #1 is one of my most popular pitches, as it is so large and has a large grassy area with it. You were quite late with your booking and at the time, I only had pitch #1 or #17 available for you and after offering the options you chose pitch #1 as you thought that it would work better for you. During your stay with me, I did have other bookings on #6, from people who had booked prior to you, one unfortunately didn't arrive for his stay and I'm surprised that you didn't see the other campervan that was on #6 during your stay. All of my pitches have a driveway in front of them (otherwise no one could get in or out!) and after looking at my booking diary, I can see that the adjacent pitches had a campervan, a sprinter campervan and a motorhome on them at times, but for most of your stay, most of the pitches were unoccupied and that at no stage were there any cars around you. I understand that you won't be returning to Little Acre, but I hope that you are able to find a site that can accommodate your requirements. Paul

Brilliant site, lovely position (5 Mins from J36 M6). Very nice owner who was always around if you needed him, Nice and quiet, fantastic shower/toilet block. Pub/restaurant across the road and the site sits between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Moors. Little Acre, big gem.

Had a lovely stay at Little Acre. Paul is a great host, very friendly and helpful. Showers and toilets were best we've ever seen on a caravan site. Right on the towpath - muddy but passable with appropriate footwear. We walked to Kendal and got the bus back, close to the coast at Arnside and Grange over Sands. Nice pub very close and a village bakery up the road. Lots of good walks which is great especially with a dog. Would stay again and highly recommended.

Lovely campsite, very clean and a very warm welcome. Could do with an onsite shop but the shower facilities were excellent. Wi-Fi was very good. Would stay again on the way to an onward journey.

Hello Stephen. Thank you for staying with me at Little Acre and it would be lovely to host you in the future. I don't have a shop at Little Acre (& no plans for one!) as there is a 24 hour petrol station less than 1/3rd of a mile away which is very well stocked. See you again - Paul.

This site is the perfect stay. Facilities are the best we have experienced and the owners were very welcoming and gave us good places to visit. Canal walks and a pub with great food and friendly staff on the door step. Petrol station 2 minutes away. Had a great time. Would have stayed longer if I hadn't payed for our next campsite already. We will stay here the next time we come to The Lakes. See you soon.

We've borrowed a van for a trip to Scotland and wanted a half way point. A quick Google search brought up Little Acre. The toilet facilities are better than some hotels. And as someone who has mobility issues, to use facilities that don't make me cringe is a refreshing change. Site chap who we met pointed us in the right direction for our pitch and then left us to it. We knew he was around if we were desperate. Definitely worth a visit. A*

Fantastic little site in a lovely location close to the Lancaster canal. The site is easily reached from the M6 with no small roads. We have a 7.3m motorhome and had no issues accessing the site. On arrival, we were allocated pitch 20 but asked to move due to not being able to get our motorhome level, so we moved to pitch 25 adjacent to the toilet and shower facilities, which the owners were happy to allow. As it was Mother's Day, the owners were going out to eat, so Paul came to see us when they returned to explain everything about the site and surrounding area. The owners are a lovely couple, who live on site and are around most days for a chat. The new facilities block is like a 5* hotel. Always clean, tidy, smelt fresh and included complimentary shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Well worth the 20p charge for the showers. The site has the usual Elsan point recycling point and a water tap on most pitches. Some pitches require levelling blocks that I believe are also provided by the owners if required. From the site, we walked 8 miles to Kendel along the Lancaster canal, which was mostly flat and easy going. The 567 bus to Kendel stops across the road from the site but do check the return times as the last bus back to Crooklands was around 17:30pm, but may change during the summer months. The Crooklands pub opposite the site does lovely food and a good assortment of drinks, we ate in the restaurant, which was reasonably priced, but it is best to book as it is really busy. A short walk along the foot path adjacent to the A65 is Endmoor bakery for fresh bread, cakes and fresh made sandwiches, which we would highly recommend. A Texaco petrol station is within walking distance of the site and has a well stocked shop of essentials. Little Acre Holiday Park is a gem of a site. We will definitely return when we are back in the area, thanks for a relaxing stay.

We experienced our first campervan experience at Little Acre this weekend. Everything was fantastic from the moment we arrived. Paul met us to guide us to our pitch. He explained all the facilities available, which were immaculate. Paul was able to offer advice on the local area too. He had already recommended the Crooklands Hotel/Pub, which is located across the road. We had booked this for our first night - we would definitely recommend as the food was great, but book in advance as it gets very busy. The facilities on the site were immaculate and of a very high standard. Overall, great first campervan experience - thanks again Paul.

I'm glad that your pioneering campervan trip to Little Acre worked so well for you, Michelle. Hopefully your future trips go just as well and that I can host you again in the future. Paul.

Although I only stayed one night, I absolutely loved this place. Location is spot on for visiting the lakes and so easy to get to off the M6. The shower block is unbelievable and didn't want to go back to the caravan...honestly, they are boutique hotel standard. Paul is such a nice bloke and accommodating as well (sorry about the tracks I left in the grass, Paul). Easily by far the only place I'll want to stay when up that way and made us want to go back in a few weeks.
