Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2026

There's a totally relaxed vibe on this lovely little site. Great views all round. The facilities are clean and modern. The 20p for 3 minutes actually works really well because it is plenty of time to have a good shower. It free's them up so others don't have to wait too long. My pitch number was emailed to me so there was no need to have to check in. The owners were just there in the background if you needed any local knowledge. Pitches are mostly fairly level, some are slightly out but they even provided ramps for them. The canal walk next to the site is nice. There's a hotel over the road with nice food all day and beer garden. Plus shop at garage nearby.

Downgraded the location because of the proximity of the A65, busy road making crossing difficult (ish) if you visit the Crooklands Hotel or use the bus to get to & from Kendal. Apart from that, very minor downside, we couldn't fault this site, everything is perfect.

Hello, thank you for staying with us - and for finding our site to be perfect! Paul

The campsite was super easy to find and is located very conveniently. The owner is super nice and very welcoming and I loved how dog-friendly the place is. There are great walks along the channel which is located directly next to the site. The facilities were also spotless throughout my stay. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Site's response

Hi Sina, it was lovely to host you and the pooch, and I'm glad that you both enjoyed your time with us. We've always been dog friendly at Little Acre, but now that we're also adults only, it's a more relaxed place for our 4 legged friends. Paul

Couldn't fault it. Site was well looked after and the warden was very welcoming and helpful. Only thing to note is that whilst the proximity to the motorway makes it easy to get to, the noise can be intrusive if/when the wind is in a certain direction.

Site's response

Hello Calum, thank you staying with us at Little Acre and for rating us as a 5* excellent site! Paul & Sarah

What a great place to finish our holiday! Highly Recommended

We chose Little Acre as a stop off on our way back to London from Scotland and it was a great choice! We were met like old friends and shown to our pitch and all the facilities, where the local amenities were including walks and pubs to visit. The facilities were by far the best we experienced of the 10 sites we stayed at during our holiday. The toilets, showers and laundry facilities were hotel standard, absolutely immaculate! A beautiful little park to stay at - quiet, friendly and spotless! Impossible to fault in any way. We will be back without a doubt! Thank you :)

Hi Damon Your review has just made our week. We really enjoy what we do at Little Acre and what you have written is the cherry on the cake !! Paul & Sarah

Duper site just minutes away from Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale .Bus stop very close to site. Our hosts even printed timetabke for us Free levellers available on all pitches.( As sloping pitches) Extra long hose on tap to enable us to fill up on our pitch. Recommend it

Site's response

Hi Barbara Thank you for staying with us recently with your motorhome and I'm glad that you got about and about to enjoy the area. The vast majority of campervan and motorhome pitches are perfectly flat an don't need any chocks or ramps - for the few that aren't, I provide ramps, so that everyone can get themselves levelled up easily. Paul

Solo trip.

Lovely site with friendly owners. Toilet/shower facilities are lovely with added extras of cotton wool, cotton buds, nail files and hand cream and are always kept clean. The pitches are a nice size and the site is not overcrowded and not overpriced.

Roof Tent - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2026

Had a fabulous time at Little Acre. Paul is a fantastic host, really made us feel welcome and gave us a personal tour of the campsite. Pitch was perfect, shame we only stayed 1 night. Facilities were great, toilets and shower block was spotlessly clean. 20p for a shower, but I thought it was a good idea to stop people staying in there for ages, managed to get a shower in under 2 minutes, even had time to condition my hair 😂 The Crooklands pub/hotel was only a few minutes walk from the campsite and did fantastic meals, roast dinner was like a Christmas dinner. Staff really friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Little Acre. Will definitely be returning.

Site's response

Thank you Mark It was lovely to host you both of you for your recent one nighters. Enjoy your travels and we'll see you another time.. Paul & Sarah

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesJul 2026

This was our final stopover after two wonderful weeks touring Scotland. A lovely, pristine, small site with immaculate facilities. Great pub about two minutes walk away over a busy main road. Lovely canal towpath walk outside site gate. Could not find grey waste dump and warden wasn't there until. Other people said that people dropped in on the pitch. A little background noise from M6 but not bad. One word of warning though. Do not follow the Satnav directions if coming from the north. The road is very narrow and steep with no passing places. Be sure to follow the directions from the emails sent to you from the site. Another lesson I learnt.

Site's response

Hi Theresa Thank you for staying with us and I'm glad that your stay worked so well for you. I've been told previously that if you are coming from the North and your sat nav is set for "shortest route" then the roads that you are sent down and hard work in a car, never mind a motorhome or caravan. Fortunately, most sat navs are set for "quickest route" and the road that brings you 1 mile from Junct 36 on the M6 is very good indeed. Paul

Definitely be returning

Hi Mike Thank you for staying with us recently and I'm glad that it worked so well for you. The shower and loo block that was closest to you was totally refurbished last Winter and has 2 showers in it, plus, we have another new shower, loo, laundry and washing up block on the other side of the site, which has another couple of showers in it, so for next time to have more showers to choose from !!

Hi Esther I'm glad that you enjoyed you time with us at Little Acre. The majority of the pitches on site are level, but for the ones that aren't we've got ramps available for people to use, so everyone can enjoy a level stay with us. Paul & Sarah

We stayed the one night at little Acres as we had a kid free night! The site was lovely, well kept, nicely spaced out. The facilities were clean and modern. It was dog friendly and right next to a lovely stretch of the canal! Another bonus, only a 2 min walk from the Crooklands Hotel where had a lovely meal

Extremely happy with our one night stay. We would have stayed longer if it wasn't for the fact that we had other commitments. Host was very friendly, super efficient and very accomodating. Site was clean, tidy, inviting and relaxing. We liked the ginger cat at reception too . We will stay again without doubt

Site's response

Hello Oliver You were very welcome to stay with us for one night and if/when you are in the are again, it would be lovely to host you. The ginger cat aka the Ginger Ninja has been great for customer relations this year ! Paul
