About Little Acre Holiday Park

This family-run touring park provides a peaceful base next to the Lancaster Canal, great for wildlife spotting. The site is under five minutes from the M6 junction 36, perfect for a North-South stopover or exploring the Lake District (10 minutes) and Yorkshire Dales (15 minutes). All motorhome, caravan, campervan and roof tent pitches are flat and set on hardstanding on local limestone, with 16 amp electric hook up adjacent to them and reliable, strong free WiFi included. All pitches allow up to five guests and also have a tap very close to them. When you arrive onsite, you can stretch your legs with a gentle walk down by the canal where you will often see swans and boats passing by. The Crooklands Hotel pub is also within a two minute stroll where you can enjoy a tasty dinner or a cold pint, with booking recommended. If holidaying in your tent, head to the neighbouring Little Acre Campsite! Dogs are more than welcome to join you for your stay too, with up to five four-legged friends permitted per pitch.

Little Acre Holiday Park is open from 28/02 to 15/11.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesNov 2024

A great welcome email giving clean instructions of how to arrive without any misleading sat-navs. We are at the local pub and were glad that the site had advised we book ahead as many people were turned away. Lovely level pitches, good internet and very clean and nice smelling facilities. Staff were friendly. We would definitely return. Also, great very close walks along the canal.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesNov 2024

For our first night camping, it was an absolutely amazing site. The showers/toilets were so clean spotless, it was like a home from home. Lovely staff, I will definitely be back, thank you so much.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesNov 2024

Everything was perfect for our stay, it was very easy to book and stay. The facilities were very clean and well maintained, with some extra touches. It was perfect for us, but can imagine more showers and toilets would be advantageous in high season. The restaurant over the road had great food but you do need to book.

Site's response

Hi Sophie, Thank you for choosing us for your late season visit and I'm glad that it went so well for you. Onsite we have 2 shower/loo facilities blocks at Little Ace ( i don't think that you used the "other block"), which mean that we've got plenty of capacity to cope when the season is in full swing! -Paul
