Whether you're exploring the Dales or the Lakes, Little Acre Camping is ideal - only a 15 minute drive from both. Relax in the tent here and take the pooch for a stroll by the peaceful Lancaster Canal (just adjacent to site) or hop on a convenient bus to Kendal or Kirkby Lonsdale (both 15 minutes away). Just across the road, about a five minute walk away is the popular dog friendly Crooklands Hotel, with a bar and very good food served all day.

Easy location to access not far from a pub down the road and a shop a ten minute walk away, also good location for access to the lake district not being far away from windermere or kendal, toilet block and showers where also very nice.

Trailer Tent - Electric Grass Tent PitchesApr 2025

A friendly site, perfect for walking the dogs down the canal path. Excellent and clean facilities. We wanted to be close to the M6 as this was just a stop off travelling home to Scotland and for that it was perfect, but some people might find the M6 noise not restful at night.

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesApr 2025

Communication/facilities etc, were superb and very clean. The only thing we didn't like were the rocks beside the driveway to stop people going on the grass. It would be very easy to damage your van/caravan on them by mistake.

Hi Linda Thank you for your recent stay and for rating Little Acre as 5*'s on campsites.co.uk Paul

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesApr 2025

Booked last min as weather forecast was nice. Lovely little site. Very dog friendly. Great access onto the canal for a walk, good pub across the road and easy bus route into Kirby Lonsdale. Showers and toilets are beautiful and clean, also heated. The 20p for 3 mins in the shower definitely worth the money (rain fall modern shower) The wifi was very good, never lost connection! Owner was lovely and welcoming. We will most certainly be back for another weekend venture.

This is our fourth stay here and we love it! It is run so great and they are so helpful and friendly. Communication is great and well organised. Very clean and well kept site too. Easy to get to off the motorway, lovely walk along the canal next to the site and the Crooklands pub over the road has fabulous food and allows dogs too. Just excellent!

Stayed for one night on our way down south. The site is immaculate, spacious and peaceful. We will definitely be back.

Site's response

Hi Christine, thank you for staying with us for your "one nighter". With us being just a mile from junction 36 on the M6, we get a lot of people using us as a break in their journey, having a pint across at the pub and then going for a wander along the Lancaster Canal that runs adjacent to us. Enjoy your travels. Paul.

Amazing little find

What can I say, Little Acre has to be one of the best sites I have ever stayed at, Paul was very helpful and he is a really nice chap. The toilet/shower block was immaculate, and the pub was only a short walk away serving lovely food. There were dogs almost in every camper and it was nice to see so many all getting along. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we will be back soon, just planning our next get away. See you soon.

Hello Sue, thank you for staying with us recently (& extending your stay)! I'm glad it went so well and it would be lovely to host your pooches and your good selves in the future. Paul.

Extra Large Tent - Electric Grass Tent PitchesOct 2024

This is an incredible little site, managed by an exceptionally friendly and helpful chap. All pitches are immaculate and the toilet/shower block, along with the washing up block (with a dryer and washing machine) are the best I have ever seen on a campsite and we have been camping regularly for the last 10 years! The location is great too; there is a really nice pub across the road, which serves excellent food and has a great choice of beers. The canal is adjoining the campsite and the south lakes hotspots are very close. You can hear the traffic from the motorway at night, but only as a dull background noise and it certainly doesn't stop you sleeping. All in all, I highly recommend this site and would definitely stay there again.

Hello Graham, Thank you for your recent stay at Little Acre (you may even have been my last campers of the 2024 season !). Enjoy your camping and here is to future visits. Paul

Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent PitchesOct 2024

We camped here with 2 dogs. Facilities on site were amazing. Showers, toilets and wash room were top class, and even provided complimentary body wash, shampoo and conditioner. The site manager was nice and very informative, great knowledge of local area. Our only dislikes were that we couldn't peg the tent down properly due to hitting either hard clay/rock in the ground and the washing machines were slightly overpriced for the amount of time that was given.

Hello Dean, Thank you for staying with us and I'm glad that you (& the pooches) enjoyed your time at Little Acre. Paul

Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent PitchesSep 2024

First time camping and really pleased we chose this site. Paul was very welcoming and told us everything we needed to know upon arrival. Shower/toilet/laundry/washing up block seems to be brand new and decorated and maintained to a high standard. Very convenient for scenic canal walks, Kirkby Lonsdale and all it has to offer. Good selection of takeaways in Milnthorpe and a local pub over the road. Will definitely be back.
