About Little Acre Holiday Park

Little Acre is a family-run caravan, campervan and motorhome site suitable for those wanting peace and tranquillity on their trip away. The site is less than two miles from junction 36 of the M6 yet located in a calming rural setting, which makes it an ideal stopping off point if you are on a long North to South, South to North trip, or if you are looking for an ideal base to explore the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. All motorhome, caravan, campervan and roofbox pitches are flat and set on hardstanding on local limestone, with 16 amp electric hook up immediately adjacent to them and reliable, strong and free WiFi included with every booking. All pitches also have a tap very close to them. Located adjacent to the Lancaster Canal, with views of the swans and wildlife, it's perfect for those who arrive on site with dogs and ideal for those who like to walk along a canal towpath and unwind. If holidaying in your tent, head to the neighbouring Little Acre Campsite!

Little Acre Holiday Park is open from 01/03 to 16/11 in 2024 and from 01/03 to 17/11 in 2025.
