Little Acre Holiday Park Reviews
Little Acre Holiday Park is just a 15-minute drive from the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks. This dog friendly touring park is adjacent to the tranquil Lancaster Canal, ideal for dog walking and relaxing. Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale are close by and accessible by a bus stop 100m away. Good food and drink from the pub at the Crooklands Hotel is less than 100m and always popular (booking recommended).

What a little gem of a site, booked 2 nights. If I hadn't had to go to work on Monday morning, I would have loved to stay longer. We arrived Friday afternoon and popped our van on our pitch and went and met a very pleasant gentleman who had arrived. He told us about where everything was on site, about dog walks and most importantly, the pub that was 200 yards away. The site is very well maintained, spotlessly clean with descent sized pitches and water at every pitch. Only recommendation is that you don't forget your levellers, as our pitch was very sloping, but never spoilt our stay and would happily return next season.

Lovely little site. Host couldn't have been more helpful. Brand new shower block was amazing and all facilities were spot on. Brilliant pub across the road, which was a bonus. Will 100% be coming back and would highly recommend.

Lovely site. A welcoming host. The shower block was immaculate, and regularly checked, as was the kitchen and laundry area. We were surprised that there was no grey water drainage option. The site is located within easy walking distance of the Crooklands pub which is worth a visit. The canal walk was a bit disappointing as it was muddy. It would be nice if whichever "authority" invested in a gravel path and keeping it tended.

Hi Lekani, thank you for staying with us and I'm glad that you enjoyed the new shower, loo, laundry and washing up block. We're looking at providing a drive over grey waste point, but its proving to be quite difficult - like most rural sites, we're not on the mains drainage system and the drive over point would need to be connected to a soakaway. The requirements for a soakaway are quite exacting and it proving to be quite a challenge to find a suitable location! Paul P.S. the Lancaster Canal is maintained by a charity - the Canal and River Trust.

A tidy site. Lacking in some basic amenities.
Site's response
Hello Jean, thank you for your recent stay at Little Acre. Unfortunately, you hadn't advised me that you would be arriving late, so the office was closed when you got here. With it being dark when you got here, you maybe missed the EHU and water point that was immediately adjacent to your pitch. When I'm able to meet and greet people, I'm able to point out the closest facility block, which for you would have been a heated shower and loo block with complimentary shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and hairdryer. Alternatively, I would have been able to point you in the direction of our brand new heated shower, loo, laundry and washing up block - also with complimentary shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hairdryer and washing detergent. We also have complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the site and I would have helped you to log on to the Wi-Fi network. Sadly, with you arriving late and leaving early, I was unable to find out from you what basic amenities that we are lacking. Safe travels, Paul.

We recently stayed at Little Acres campsite and had a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. The proximity to a nearby great pub was a pleasant surprise, adding to the convenience and charm of the location. The campsite itself was very quiet and peaceful, offering a serene retreat away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. One of the highlights was the great dog walk in the area, providing ample space for our furry friend to stretch their legs and enjoy the outdoors. I highly recommend Little Acres for a relaxing camping experience with a delightful touch of friendliness and tranquillity.

Great location, easy to find, friendly and super clean. New toilet block is nicer than some top hotels we've stayed at 👌 This was a relaxing stop off for us after walking Hadrian's Wall. We will definitely be back to explore further 😀 Thank you, Paul!

Well, we stumbled across this gem of a site as the site we were originally staying at was flooded. But my word, what a gorgeous site. The pitches were well maintained, the facilities are fantastic and the owner is extremely friendly. Lovely restaurant/bar 5 minutes away and Kendal is a stone's throw away. The only downside was there was no park for the kids. However, this didn't detract from the site and the views. We will certainly be back.

WOW. Amazing little site. What an absolute gem. Everything was PERFECT. From the warm welcome from the owner when we arrived and the useful information he provided, to the ease of setup and location of plots. I have to say the toilet blocks are superb!!! Better than most hotel facilities. A real credit to the owners with no expense spared. Has to be our favourite site to date. Lovely canal walk, close to the pub that has plenty of outdoor seating....perfect to sit in the sunshine with the dogs. The pub itself is dog friendly too. We will be back, that's for sure. Thank you for helping us recharge ready for another week of work!

Excellent site with a very warm welcome from the owner on arrival. Two shower blocks. One brand new and in perfect condition. The other one is older but very clean! Nice walk along the canal and a good pub about 5 mins walk away. We didn't eat at the pub but called for a drink and we were made to feel very welcome. Just a very tidy, clean and friendly place to stay. We would definitely return.

A lovely little site with a friendly, helpful owner & very nice facilities. Most of the pitches are not huge, but have room for a caravan with awning and car with others more for a motorhome. All are hardstanding with electric and water connection, some being very sheltered & others more open. Wi-Fi is fine & tv signal adequate. There are 2 facilities blocks, the older one very nicely appointed with 2 spacious cubicles and a large shower. One nice touch in the ladies was a basket with sanitary products and some toiletries. The site is just off the A65 but very quiet with virtually no road noise and a nice pub/eatery 200 yards away. The even nearer canal walk looked lovely but was very muddy due to rain, so we didn't bother! There is easy access to north and south Lakes and highly recommended for a longer stay or night halt - the site is only 3 mins off junction 36 of the M6.

Thank you for staying with us recently and leaving such a nice review on Campsites.co.uk, Angela. With the recent wet weather, the canal towpath has taken on a decidedly "muddy " feel, but thankfully is now drying out and is a pleasant place to have a walk along again. Paul
