Amazing quiet little gem. Plenty of space between pitches. Nice, quiet and family friendly. Facilities are Amazing and wouldn't look out of place in a 5☆ hotel. Owners friendly and very helpful. Will definitely be back.

Great little site, superb wash/toilet facilities

Paul was a great host, very welcoming and explained site well. Great toilet and shower facilities. East set up, good WiFi (kids were happy) and in a nice location for walks along canal. Recommend the pub for food too but definitely book in advance (we didn’t but got lucky) Thanks Paul and family.

Hi Mark Thank you for staying with us and recommending us on campsites.co.uk. You struck lucky getting a table as a walkin at the Crooklands Hotel - it's a popular place for good meals. It would be nice to host you another time. Paul

Very good site with friendly and helpful staff. Only minor criticism is that the toilet block could have done with more frequent cleaning as it was the busy bank holiday season. I would definitely recommend this site and will return at a later date. Thank you.

Great Site!

We stopped at this site on our way back from Northumberland. It is a lovely site and the facilities were excellent. There was plenty of room for the van and awning. The owner was very helpful and informative, would highly recommend this site to fellow campervan owners and campers.

Really great little site. Easy to find, great stopover on way up to Edinburgh from Derbyshire. Facilities are better than a 5 starhotel . We were 1st time motorhome users and friendly owner was very approachable for any advice. Local pub was great too . Booked on App and very dog friendly and super food . Highly recommend both site and restaurant/ pub.

Hi Fiona Thank you for staying with us for your trip across the border (I hope that tomorrows event goes well for all of you). Enjoy your motorhoming and it would be lovey to host you in the future. Paul

We arrived late but communication with Paul meant we were directed straight to our pitch. The site is spotless and the shower facilities are the best I’ve experienced. There is also free WiFi which was a lovely bonus. We only stayed one night but have plans to return soon.

Excellent little site

Always a lovely stay - conveniently placed for travel to and from Scotland and we love walking along the canal with our dogs. Love how you are improving the facilities!

Site's response

Thank you for your repeat visit to Little Acre, Susan. Yes, it seems to be a constant process of improvements that we're doing - it's quite a challenge improving the site, without spoiling it for the reasons that people come to us. On your next visit, the other toilet / shower block will have had a complete refurbishment and modernisation. Paul.

lovely site

fabulous site, great for our stopover on the way up and down to and from Scotland. Great dog walking and a pub across the road.

Site's response

Hi Katie Thank you for using Little Acre as your stopover point on your recent trip to Scotland. I hope to have the loo and shower block that was closest to you totally refurbished and modernised for your next trip this way. Paul

It is a lovely site but you can hear constant traffic from the noisy road nearby. The toilets, showers etc are spotlessly clean but it was disappointing to discover that you have to pay for use of the showers. Having travelled around Scotland for the previous two weeks, not once were there charges to shower and 99% of the sites cost less to stay over than Little Acre. It would also be helpful if there were mirrors in the washroom as it's awkward for men to shave without one. I would like to finish by saying that we received a very warm welcome on our arrival and were allowed to move our motorhome to a different pitch from the pre-allocated one.

Great weekend away

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Small PitchMay 2024

Arrived on site Friday 17th May straight from work at 6pm got set up and friendly owner called round to tell us location of amenities etc. We had booked a table for 6.45 at the Crooklands Hotel so glad we did as they were booked up .the weather was magnificent and we had a lovely walk along the Lancaster Canal which is just over the road beautiful Swans and ducks with their ducklings,they must be used to people feeding them as they come towards you expectantly. The site and facilities were immaculate ,locals were friendly as were the fellow campers everyone thinking of others polite and not a sound over night so peaceful, we will definitely go again .

Site's response

Hi Louisa Thank you for staying with us and bringing such lovely weather with you (in fairness, you also left the lovely weather when you left as well !). The ducks that are on the canal regularly come wandering around the site and are well used to people. The swan that is nesting about 100 yards from our entrance could be about the to have her eggs hatching any day now - last year she had 8 cygnets (& all survived) on the Whit BH Weekend. We have just started the complete refurbishment and modernisation of the shower/loo block that was closest to you, so the next time you're here, you'll have 2 x new facility blocks to choose from.

We stayed four nights in this great little site. Then owner gave us a wonderful personal welcome and after realising we were with friends, offered us a placement near them. The high standard of maintenance and cleanliness of the site and facilities made us want to return.

Site's response

Hi Catherine Thank you for the lovely rteview of your recent stay at Little Acre. I'm glad that it went well for you and your friends and changing things around so that you could be closer to each other wasn't a problem at all. Enjoy your touring and it would be lovely to host you again in the future. Paul

Wonderful park in a fantastic location for either a stopover just minutes from the motorway or for some peace and quiet in a scenic spot. Paul the owner was absolutely wonderful, very friendly and very informative. The site itself is very attractive and well looked after, the toilet and shower block was exceptional and we witnessed Paul checking and cleaning numerous times during our 1 night stay. We would 100% return and hope to do so soon .

Thank you for staying with us Michael and leaving such a lovely review of Little Acre. Enjoy your travels and it'll be lovely to host you again. Paul

Stayed here for one night on our way back from Scotland and it was a lovely spot. Right on the canal for some good walking with a great cafe on the lock for ice cream. Very friendly welcome. Nice flat hardstanding pitch, very clean facilities and would definitely go back.

Site's response

Hi Tim. Thank you for staying with us on your stopover from Scotland. We have lots of people doing the same thing during the season going to/from Scotland - probably helped byLittle Acre being 2 mins from Junct 36 on the M6, having a dog friendly pub that serves good food 200 yards away and the Lancaster Canal opposite our entrance. Enjoy your travels and it would be lovely to host you again. Paul

Cannot fault this site, very friendly owners, showers and toilets very clean. There is a nice pub within two minutes walking distance, which is a bonus, although very expensive for drinks! What an amazing site this is, it didn't disappoint at all. The site itself is meticulous. Very friendly owners and a very friendly ginger cat! We will definitely be returning to Little Acre Holiday Park, its been our favourite so far this year. Hoping to stay for longer next time :)

Site's response

Hi Anita Thank you for entertaining the Ginger Ninja during your recent stay - he's liked the recent sunny weather and enjoys his role as feline customer relations executive ! It would be lovely to host you again and hopefully our white cat will also put in an appearence for some attention from you. Paul & Sarah p.s. favourite site so far - lovely !

Had a blast.....this location/campsite is perfect for visiting so many locations. we went to Silverdale, Bowness, Arnside, Grange over Sands. Morecambe. there is a Pub/Hotel 'Crooklands' at the bottom of the road. Bus stop both directions. Canal Walk to enjoy on your doorstep. Site is pristine, well kept, manicured grass, good pitches.. The Hosts are wonderful and very helpful. We shall return again as it was such a great location to go visiting from. Big Asda just down the road for provisions and an AMAZiNG butcher in Kirby Lonsdale.....also a brewery which does super food and ale..

A good little site just off the M6 - handy stop on the way to Scotland. Dog walks immediately outside the site along the canal and a pub/restaurant over the road. Only down side was lukewarm showers one morning.

Site's response

Hello Charles, Thank you for stopping with us and I'm sorry that the lukewarm showers took the edge off things for you. That was totally down to me - the hot water at Little Acre is provided by solar power and I'd asked the solar power techie to do some tweaks. He tweaked it (as requested by me) and unfortunately the tweaks didn't have the expected result, hence a lukewarm shower for you. As soon as I realised that things weren't working as they should be, we are now heating the water by LPG, until the solar panel tweaker returns today (Thu 15th May), then once again we'll have lots of hot water to use. I hope that you return to Little Acre in the future to enjoy a hot shower again! Paul
