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 just 7 miles away). Just across the road, about 100 metres away is the popular dog friendly Crooklands Hotel, with a bar and very good food served all day.

Fantastic site which is well situated for the Southern Lake District. The site is well kept with very good amenities. Staff were very welcoming & friendly. The Lancaster Canal is straight outside the gate and the Crooklands Hotel across the road serve excellent meals. A quiet site but there is some road noise. However, this did not disturb us.

We booked this site because it was dog 🐕 friendly with lots of walks and water for our dog. Toilets and showers were always clean and tidy and the owners always put us on the right path for anything we wanted.

Thank you for the 5* rating and lovely review Paul. Yes, we're very dog friendly and how we not be with your lovable monster? Paul & Sarah

We stayed for 3 nights and had a lovely time. The site is a mixture of tents, tourers and motorhomes. Really friendly from the outset and lovely location to access the dales. Easy access to Windermere and Kendal. Will return to the site in the future.

This is a lovely quiet place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the regular tourist attractions. The site owners go out of their way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Our family will be going back next year.

Thank you for the lovely review Antony - it'll be good to host you again in 2023. Paul

Limited toilets and showers

Limited toilets and showers for the size of the site and the amount of people staying on there. It's 20p for 3 minutes for the showers.

Site's response

Hello Jade. I agree with you that additional showers and loos would be useful, although you may not have used the larger shower and loo block that was available to you during your stay? The good news is that we have recently gained planning permission for a much larger loo, shower and laundry block and this will be constructed this winter. It is disappointing to me that you have given our facilities and cleanliness 2* ratings, as during your stay the shower and loo blocks were cleaned and restocked 4 times a day. Other reviews from the same time as you were here have awarded us 5*. I try as hard as I can to make sure that every persons stay is as enjoyable as possible, so to see a 3* rating for standard of service isn't good. Other then when you arrived and I showed you to your pitch, I can only recall one occasion when you needed my help and I thought that I'd resolved your issue to your complete satisfaction. Sorry if that wasn't the case! Paul

Great little find

Large Tent - Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2022

Just back from a lovely 5 night stay. Site was in great location - we visited Windermere, Arnside, Morecambe. Crooklands pub a 5 min walk away and meal there was fantastic. Accessible stream a few minutes down the lane which was great to cool our dog down in the heat. Paul was very friendly and helpful and always came round the site each day to say hello and check everything was okay. Priced a little more than we would usually pay as having an 8 man tent attracted a further charge. This did not detract from the stay and we wouldn't hesitate to return in the future.

Thank you for the lovely review of your stay at Little Acre, Jane. It sounds like you packed in a lot during your stay with us. Paul & Sarah

From the moment of booking, Paul went out his way to make sure we had all the details we needed to ensure a great stay! We arrived on site and Paul was extremely helpful and greeted us with a smile! Nothing was too much trouble over our stay. The facilities were of a high standard and very clean, with a short walk to the pub/hotel (need to book in advance as it's always busy!) There's some lovely walks close by, which we did with the children, with a little stream to paddle in close by! Kendal is a 10-15 minute drive one way and 20mins the other way is Arnside beach. Greta location and lovely site! We will deffo be back!

What a lovely little camp site. Not too big but enough facilities and close enough to a small shop. The whole site was clean and tidy. Paul was really friendly and helpful. Great for dogs and kids with a lovely canal walk right next to it. Would not hesitate to go back. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Really enjoyed our stay here. I'm not a camper and took some convincing to even book anywhere, but after our weekend here I'd happily camp again! Really friendly hosts, clean and warm facilities (a definite essential for me!) and the field wasn't overcrowded so we had plenty of space on our pitch. We booked dinner at the nearby pub one night and it was just a 2 minute walk away so very handy. Easy access to the towpath too for a walk - we went for a little meander and ended up taking a short narrowboat ride, which was unexpected but lovely. Great for families too, and nice and quiet at night (apart from the nearby Scout jamboree, but that was a one off!). Thank you, I'm sure we'll be back!

The family that run the site are so nice and were so welcoming to us when we arrived, and even helped us find a few walks while we were there. Great people were surrounding us and although you might have to drive 30 minutes to get some good walks in, the site was great value for money.

This was our first time camping and we could not have picked a better site. Lots of room for each tent, not over crowded. Paul was so helpful and made us feel welcome as we arrived. We have booked to go again, great for the dog as dogs stay on leads so an extended lead is great. Only wish there were 2 toilets together, this would would be better but not a problem. We had a lovely time for our first camping experience. Definitely would recommend.

It's lovely that you're pioneering visit went so well, Michelle, and that you've booked again already! See you again soon Paul

I found Little Acres to be perfect for my needs. The owner was very friendly and helpful, the site itself wasn't too busy so had enough room and privacy, the location was very nice with views across the fields and easy access to the main road. There is a good pub just a minute's walk away.

Thank you Michael. I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. Whilst you were at Little Acre I turned the shower temp down by a few degrees, as I thought that a warm shower in the heatwave would be more enjoyable. Hopefully I'll be able to host you again in the future. Paul

Nice site and lovely owners. Needs shower block to be updated on the tent field. Very noisy road adjacent to the site. This can be very scary at times as this is a main road with big wagons and artics using it all night.

Site's response

Hello Susan Thank you for leaving the review. We completely agree that the loo and shower block that is closest to the tent field need modernising (there is another larger and better equipped loo/shower block onsite that anyone onsite is welcome to use) - and the good news is that we've recently gained planning permission to add a brand new and much larger loo/shower and laundry block, which will hopefully be up and running for the start of the 2023 season. Until then, I'll carry on keeping the existing block clean and fully stocked. The road that is closest to the tent field is a B road and vehicles need to go very slowly/come to a halt to negotiate the narrow canal bridge. At times the road can seem quite busy (at other times, it's very quiet!), especially when the local farmers are doing their haytiming - but we've never heard it being described as scary! Hopefully we'll be able to host you again in the future. Paul & Sarah

Last minute booking for a couple of established campers & a couple of virgin campers. The location was lovely, if a little noisy by the road but it didn't keep any of us awake at night. The canal walk was peaceful & picturesque, rewarded by a pub lunch at The Crooklands Hotel which I can highly recommend. The host at Little Acre was very approachable & friendly without being intrusive. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely site and very friendly, helpful and accommodating owners. The site really needs more facilities though, particularly toilets and showers. We would definitely go back though and would recommend it.

Site's response

Hi James. Thank you for the review and we'd love to have you come back again ! We have 2 shower and loo blocks onsite, with the much larger block being further way from where you were pitched up (naturally !). We've just got planning permission for a new & expanded shower, loo and laundry block, which will be ideally placed for campers. Once the 2022 season finishes, we'll be cracking on. Fingers crossed, it should be in place for the start of the 2023 season. Paul
