Little Acre Camping Reviews
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 just 7 miles away). Just across the road, about 100 metres away is the popular dog friendly Crooklands Hotel, with a bar and very good food served all day.

From the moment of booking, Paul went out his way to make sure we had all the details we needed to ensure a great stay! We arrived on site and Paul was extremely helpful and greeted us with a smile! Nothing was too much trouble over our stay. The facilities were of a high standard and very clean, with a short walk to the pub/hotel (need to book in advance as it's always busy!) There's some lovely walks close by, which we did with the children, with a little stream to paddle in close by! Kendal is a 10-15 minute drive one way and 20mins the other way is Arnside beach. Greta location and lovely site! We will deffo be back!

What a lovely little camp site. Not too big but enough facilities and close enough to a small shop. The whole site was clean and tidy. Paul was really friendly and helpful. Great for dogs and kids with a lovely canal walk right next to it. Would not hesitate to go back. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Really enjoyed our stay here. I'm not a camper and took some convincing to even book anywhere, but after our weekend here I'd happily camp again! Really friendly hosts, clean and warm facilities (a definite essential for me!) and the field wasn't overcrowded so we had plenty of space on our pitch. We booked dinner at the nearby pub one night and it was just a 2 minute walk away so very handy. Easy access to the towpath too for a walk - we went for a little meander and ended up taking a short narrowboat ride, which was unexpected but lovely. Great for families too, and nice and quiet at night (apart from the nearby Scout jamboree, but that was a one off!). Thank you, I'm sure we'll be back!

The family that run the site are so nice and were so welcoming to us when we arrived, and even helped us find a few walks while we were there. Great people were surrounding us and although you might have to drive 30 minutes to get some good walks in, the site was great value for money.

This was our first time camping and we could not have picked a better site. Lots of room for each tent, not over crowded. Paul was so helpful and made us feel welcome as we arrived. We have booked to go again, great for the dog as dogs stay on leads so an extended lead is great. Only wish there were 2 toilets together, this would would be better but not a problem. We had a lovely time for our first camping experience. Definitely would recommend.

I found Little Acres to be perfect for my needs. The owner was very friendly and helpful, the site itself wasn't too busy so had enough room and privacy, the location was very nice with views across the fields and easy access to the main road. There is a good pub just a minute's walk away.

Thank you Michael. I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. Whilst you were at Little Acre I turned the shower temp down by a few degrees, as I thought that a warm shower in the heatwave would be more enjoyable. Hopefully I'll be able to host you again in the future. Paul

A lovely, small and well-maintained campsite. The owner is very pleasant and approachable and is always seen around the site. Shower and toilet block are very clean. A good location for exploring the Kendal district or south lakes. Would recommend a stay a Little Acre.

Nice site and lovely owners. Needs shower block to be updated on the tent field. Very noisy road adjacent to the site. This can be very scary at times as this is a main road with big wagons and artics using it all night.
Site's response
Hello Susan Thank you for leaving the review. We completely agree that the loo and shower block that is closest to the tent field need modernising (there is another larger and better equipped loo/shower block onsite that anyone onsite is welcome to use) - and the good news is that we've recently gained planning permission to add a brand new and much larger loo/shower and laundry block, which will hopefully be up and running for the start of the 2023 season. Until then, I'll carry on keeping the existing block clean and fully stocked. The road that is closest to the tent field is a B road and vehicles need to go very slowly/come to a halt to negotiate the narrow canal bridge. At times the road can seem quite busy (at other times, it's very quiet!), especially when the local farmers are doing their haytiming - but we've never heard it being described as scary! Hopefully we'll be able to host you again in the future. Paul & Sarah

Last minute booking for a couple of established campers & a couple of virgin campers. The location was lovely, if a little noisy by the road but it didn't keep any of us awake at night. The canal walk was peaceful & picturesque, rewarded by a pub lunch at The Crooklands Hotel which I can highly recommend. The host at Little Acre was very approachable & friendly without being intrusive. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely site and very friendly, helpful and accommodating owners. The site really needs more facilities though, particularly toilets and showers. We would definitely go back though and would recommend it.
Site's response
Hi James. Thank you for the review and we'd love to have you come back again ! We have 2 shower and loo blocks onsite, with the much larger block being further way from where you were pitched up (naturally !). We've just got planning permission for a new & expanded shower, loo and laundry block, which will be ideally placed for campers. Once the 2022 season finishes, we'll be cracking on. Fingers crossed, it should be in place for the start of the 2023 season. Paul

Very homely campsite and very welcoming. Spotless facilities. Very well maintained and organised. A little bit noisy from traffic in the tent field but otherwise very relaxing.

Hi Margaret. Thank you for recommending us to others on Campsites.co.uk. The tent field is the closest to the road and IIRC, there was a lot of tractors doing haytiming during your stay. Fingers crossed that you next visit is quieter. Paul

Was our first camping holiday with our dogs. Very warm and welcoming hoist. Spacious tent pitches. Ideal location for dogs. The toilets for the camping side would be much better if they were the same size as the caravan ones but other than that everything is spot on. Highly recommend and will be returning!
Site's response
Hi Jodie. I'm glad that your first trip camping was so successful and that you're coming back to stay with us again. In the last few weeks, we've had planning permission approved and this Winter we are adding a new and much larger shower and loo facility, with extra wash basins, extra washup sinks, laundry facilities and underfloor heating - which will be larger than the facilities on the caravan "side" ! Until next time. Paul
