Excellent campsite
Recommends site
We have just returned from a two week stay at Little Acre Campsite, this was our first stay at this site and in this area.
The site's location is so easy to access from the M6 motorway it makes towing the caravan a treat. We were greeted by the owners Paul and Sarah. After telling us where things were on the site and what to do in the area, we were left to pitch up and explore.
We have been caravanning for over 16 years staying at all sorts of different caravan sites, Little Acre Campsite has the best dog walk we have ever come across. It takes you down by the canal with lovely scenery and wildlife and it is so peaceful and lovely.
The Crooklands Hotel across the road from the campsite is a great pit stop on the way back after a day out exploring for a nice refreshment in the beer garden. They also do some amazing meals, although for an evening meal especially at weekends, booking is advisable.
Little Acre Campsite has a fantastic toilet block which is spotlessly clean and well laid out. The showers have been designed so that you have enough room to get changed and showered in comfort. The showers are 20p for three minutes, which is more than enough time to shower and wash your hair. The water is always hot and the sink provided within the shower unit is also a good extra, along with lots of hooks for towels and clothes.
Little Acre Campsite is a great place to stay very dog friendly, Paul and Sarah are excellent hosts. The ice cream van that comes to the site is an added bonus and Paul and Sarah have also organised a meal truck/street food van that comes on a Friday night. We tried the pulled pork which was amazing - definitely an added bonus and an excellent touch.
Would definitely recommend staying at this campsite and we are hoping to return in the near future. Thank you Paul and Sarah for an amazing stay.

Thank you for the lovely review Suzanne (& organising the lovely weather whilst you were here as well). Since you've left, the swan that was nesting 200 yards from us has 9 cygnets keeping her company, which is a lovely sight when strolling along the canal.
It will be lovely to host you again and we'll have a brand new shower, loo and laundry block for you to use.

We have just had a lovely bank holiday weekend break at Little Acre. Lovely views and sunsets visible from the site, nice touches of comfort in the showers with shampoos, nail files and cotton buds etc and it will be even better when the new larger shower block is finished.
This site is adjacent to a canal so we did a couple of lovely long walks and my partner got a couple of early morning runs in too. There is a fab pub/restaurant/hotel directly across the road. Finally with a bus stop outside the gates to take you to Kendal or Kirby Lonsdale; this is a great site in a great location with great hosts. Highly recommended.
