I must admit when I first pulled on to the site I liked the look of the site and the owner was most helpful. Then I went up to the facilities block and the men's was completely shut off, with builders equipment blocking all access, however the women's was open and the wife said they were lovely. After a bit of thinking 'what have I done stopping here?' I realised that there was another block in the other field, so I wandered over there and, well, it was like walking into a five-star hotel room. In fact I had a shower this morning and I can honestly say I have never had a shower that good in any hotel ever. The campsite was really nice, friendly, welcoming and in fact homely. I would highly recommend this site to anyone.

Thank you Mark We're part way through a total refit of the facilities block that you found. Behind the scenes, the gents has been totally re-ceilinged, replumbed, rewired and refloored and this week (if all goes to plan) it'll be re-walled and new partitions installed. It's a total refurbishment and modernisation, and then once completed, we're moving onto the ladies to do the same. Plus, the new solar panels are going onto the roof on Monday, so from then on, all of the hot water will be supplied by solar! I'm glad that you enjoyed the other facilities block - since we completed it in Summer 2023, it has proven to be very popular. Travel well and I hope that we can host you again. Paul

We stayed for 2 nights at the same time as the nearby Country Fest. The site owner was extremely helpful and loaned us an extension lead for electric hook-up. The facilities have been upgraded and one whole block was work in progress. Once that is done, it will improve things significantly. On our first night the toilets and showers were in use a lot, so we had to wait on a couple of instances. We also had a pitch on a bit of a slope but not a major issue. All in all, great and Kirkby Lonsdale is a must! Also, Levens Hall and its topiary garden. Stunning!

Thank you for staying with us and recommending Little Acre on campsites.co.uk, Steve. We now have the Ladies shower and loos working in the "original" toilet block and the gents won't be to far behind. Once completed, the "original" block will have been replumbed, rewired, reroofed, re-walled, refloored, repanelled and all fixtures and fittings will have been replaced - it'll be like Triggers broom! The vast majority of pitches are flat and ready to go and for the odd few that have a bit of a slope, I leave self levelling ramps for people to borrow, which seems to go down really well. I hope that you return to see the improvements, Paul

Not far from major roads, but still feels very much in the countryside. New shower and toilet block better than most 4 star hotels in the UK - they are lovely. Can't tune a mobile home tele in from here though. Good half way stop on the way to Fort William.
Site's response
Hi Jon, Thank you for staying with us on your way to Fort William (through the season, we have lost of people on their way to/from Fort William/Loch Lomond!) and I'm glad that it went well for you. TV reception varies across the site, with some people having no problems at all and others (like you! ) having no success - on the plus side, if you have a Smart TV or Fire Stick, you can watch your TV via our complimentary Wi-Fi. Enjoy your touring, Paul.
Very friendly

Super site in a great location for enjoying both the Yorkshire Dales and the Morecambe coastline. Very dog friendly and there is a lovely walk in either direction up the beautiful canal straight from the site. Fully recommend and we will definitely be back.

I'm glad that you and your 4 legged companions enoyed being at Little Acre Susan. It works out very well having the Lancaster Canal running past our entrance and the dog friendly Crooklands Hotel serving good food 200 yards away. Paul

We had a wonderful overnight stay at this site on our way back from Scotland. The facilities are second to none. Paul obviously takes a lot of pride in his site and it shows. We booked a table at The Crooklands Hotel, just across the road, for an evening meal and that was great too. Also over the road you can walk along the canal which was perfect for stretching our legs and the dogs. We would definitely recommend and stay again.

An amazing, quiet little gem. With plenty of space between pitches. It was nice, quiet and family friendly. The facilities are amazing and wouldn't look out of place in a 5☆ hotel. The owners were friendly and very helpful. Will definitely be back.

That's very kind of you, Tina. Thank you for staying with us and recommending Little Acre so highly on Campsites.co.uk. When you return, our other shower and loo block will have had a complete revamp as well. Paul.

Paul was a great host, very welcoming and explained site well. Great toilet and shower facilities. Easy set up, good Wi-Fi (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 to 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 walk-in 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.
Site's response
Thank you for staying with us over the BH weekend and recommending Little Acre on Campsites.co.uk, Alan. Ahead of the BH weekend, we'd given the grass an additional mow, so that it looked as good as it could possibly be. The downside was that this produced quite a lot of grass cuttings and, despite the additional trips around with my sweeping brush, dust pan and hand brush, there were always new grass cuttings to greet me on each visit. Enjoy your travels and it will be lovely to host you in the future. Paul.

A really lovely site with a great location to get outdoors. Even though the site was fully booked, it was super quiet and peaceful. There were the most amazing smelling diffusers in the toilets (it's the small things!). There was some work going on to the showers in the caravan field, so we all used the block in the other field which was super modern and spacious. The 20p charge was well worth it, no annoying push button shower, lovely and hot, no draught under the door either! I think we'll be adding this to the visit again list!

Thank you for staying with us and rating Little Acre so highly on campsites.co.uk, Hope. If you come back in Autumn, the underfloor heating will have kicked in to keep the loo/shower/laundry and washing up block lovely and cosy warm! Paul

Really great little site. Easy to find, great stopover on way up to Edinburgh from Derbyshire. Facilities are better than a 5 star hotel. 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.

We stayed for two separate nights en route to and from Scotland. It was a very convenient location for this as it's close to the motorway. Campsite is close to a pub and canal. The pub was fully booked for food quite far in advance, so we went into Kendal and ate at Pedro Casa, which was fab. Lovely clean site and excellent host. Clean modern toilets/showers. Pitches are quite close together and the whole field is used - no central grass area for the kids to run around. Someone told my kids to stop running around on the first stay, not sure whether a member of staff or another camper. We are regular campers and this has never happened before!
Site's response
Thank you for staying with us not once, but twice! It's really appreciated. You're absolutely correct that we don't have a green area for children to run around on - as a site, we host very few families with small children and we market ourselves as being suitable to couples and older children 13 + and for people who are coming away for peace quiet. We're not set up for children running around! As regular campers, possibly you've previously booked at sites that are more suitable for families with smaller children. Thank you for recommending us on Campsites.co.uk and rating us so highly. 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 Wi-Fi, which was a lovely bonus. We only stayed one night but have plans to return soon.

It would be lovely to host you again, Elsa. Hopefully the other shower/loo block will be totally refurbished and modernised by then! Paul.
