4.85 /5
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.
Excellent location, just a 15-minute drive from the Dales or the Lakes
Stunning Lancaster Canal is just across from the site, with views across the water
Dog friendly site with plenty of surrounding walks ideal for you and your pooch
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!
Little Acre Camping is open from 01/03 to 20/11 in 2024 and from 28/02 to 16/11 in 2025.
There are two separate shower and toilet blocks available to campers. Showers require coins to operate. The nearest block has heated and unisex facilities with separate lockable entrances.
Another heated block is available a little further away and provides facilities for both men and women. It also has hairdryers, hand dryers, and heated mirrors. Both blocks offer complimentary shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner of high quality. The campsite has reliable WiFi throughout the site.
The dog-friendly Crooklands Hotel is only a 100 metre walk over the canal bridge, offering a bar and all day menu. A 24 hour shop is half a mile away, and a popular bakery is available in Endmoor village, which is three-quarters of a mile away. You can easily get to these places on foot.

This is an incredible little site, managed by an exceptionally friendly and helpful chap. All pitches are immaculate and the toilet/shower block, along with the washing up block (with a dryer and washing machine) are the best I have ever seen on a campsite and we have been camping regularly for the last 10 years! The location is great too; there is a really nice pub across the road, which serves excellent food and has a great choice of beers. The canal is adjoining the campsite and the south lakes hotspots are very close. You can hear the traffic from the motorway at night, but only as a dull background noise and it certainly doesn't stop you sleeping. All in all, I highly recommend this site and would definitely stay there again.

We camped here with 2 dogs. Facilities on site were amazing. Showers, toilets and wash room were top class, and even provided complimentary body wash, shampoo and conditioner. The site manager was nice and very informative, great knowledge of local area. Our only dislikes were that we couldn't peg the tent down properly due to hitting either hard clay/rock in the ground and the washing machines were slightly overpriced for the amount of time that was given.

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.
