About Little Acre Camping
This camping base is family-run and offers a peaceful break in a rural setting. No need to worry about access with the car, however, as you're less than 2 miles from the M6 with the Lake District and beautiful Yorkshire Dales each very accessible. 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. 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 Fido to stretch his legs or humans to have a wander and unwind. There is a shop in a 24hour petrol station and a bakery in the village of Endmoor - both are about 3/4 mile away and both are easily accessible on foot. Please note, the site does not allow guests under 12 or group bookings. If holidaying in your motorhome, caravan, campervan or roofbox tent, head to the neighbouring Little Acre Holiday Park!

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.
