Little gem
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Motorhome and Campervan Pitches May 2023 I cannot rate Little Acre highly enough, just spent 2 nights and wish it had been longer. From arrival to departure, Paul could not do enough to make my stay perfect.
I have 2 little dogs, one is on chemotherapy and it has made her very reactive to other dogs, not aggressive just very vocal, which can make staying on a site very stressful. Well, she like me must have felt very much at ease as she only barked twice, I cannot wait to return. Thank you so much Paul.

Hi Pauline. Little Acre is very dog friendly and it sounds like your 2 pooches were every bit as chilled as you were. Hopefully we'll be seeing you again, sooner, rather than later!

Review of Little Acres
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Motorhome and Campervan Pitches May 2023 A very warm welcome was received from the owner to this beautifully cared for and located site. The site when busy could do with another toilet block but the owner is addressing this with a new build. We loved the fact it was well situated close to the motorway and to the Lancaster canal (brilliant for walking a busy spaniel). The toilet facilities were immaculate , each hard standing had its own water/electric point and nothing seemed to be too much trouble for the owner who lives on site. It was quiet and the other campers/caravan owners respectful of each other. There appeared to be many people who were regular returners to the site as well as tourers. Highly recommended if you need a night stopover or wish a longer stay to visit the south lakes or Yorkshire Dales

I think that you've summed up Little Acre spot on, Lorraine! When you stayed with us, we had every pitch taken, so we were as full as we were ever going to be. The new toilet/loo/laundry block that you saw being built onsite*** is about 3 times the size of the one that it is replacing and once completed will be a welcome addition. Thank you for the lovely review.

*** it should have been ready for Whit BH weekend, but unfortunately the timetable has slipped a bit

Great Little Site
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches May 2023 Beautiful site, close to local pub and canal walk. Staff very helpful. Only one shower in toilet blocks but new one being built! Super clean and maintained well. Will be back.

Thank you Julie. The builders and plumbers are all working actively on site, so progress is being made on the new shower, loo and laundry block (we do have 2 shower & loo blocks on site, but quite a few people only use the one that is closest to them or aren't always aware of the other one).
Since your stay, the swan that is on the canal next to Little Acre has had 9 cygnets, which will be something nice to look at on your next visit!

Very friendly, small campsite Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Small Pitch May 2023 Clean and friendly small campsite, which accepts dogs on a lead. The pitch we had, (number 2), did have a small grass area behind the motorhome, which was lovely in the sun. We had an electric hook-up and fresh water on the pitch. There is a canal just outside, which is very good for walking the dog off the lead on the towpath. There is a hotel/pub a short walk away which does accept dogs, but you need to book a table, so we didn't get to go there.
We felt the downsides were the charge for the showers, the single sink in the dishwashing area, which meant a queue to do the washing up, and no motorhome service point.
Overall it was a lovely peaceful site, but we didn't think it was for us.

Hi Lesley
Thank you for reviewing me on campsites.co.uk, which I really appreciate.
I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay and that you (& your dogs !) were made welcome.
I agree that the dishwashing area is busy at peak times (you stayed with us over a BH weekend) and this is something that we are addressing. The large stone building that you will have seen being constructed close to the existing washup area is our new loo/laundry/shower/washup facility, which will more than triple the washing up facilities for folk to use. The original plan was for it to be ready for Whit BH weekend, but timings slipped and we didn't manage that date - we're now at the final stages of completion and it won't be long before it's up and running.
Previously we had "free" showers, but we had several instances of people repeatedly hitting the hot water button that either a) drained the hot water tank or b) drained the 47kg gas cylinder - both of which then rendered the showers unusable for others to use. After reintroducing the 20p for 3 min showers (you can add several 20p's if you'd like a longer shower) the nuisance behavious stopped and the showers once again work as planned for the benefit of everyone. At the same time, we also introduced complimentary shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryers and heated mirrors for people to use.
I don't currently have a motorhome service point, but it is something that I'm looking at for the future - finding a suitable location is proving to be a challenge.
I hope that you enjoy your future travels at sites that suit you better.

Nice site and location
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Motorhome and Campervan Pitches May 2023 Nice site, close to M6 and southern Lake District. Managers helpful and friendly. Facilities a bit limited, but clean enough and new ones getting built.
Lovely canal walk and pub is decent with good service and food okay. Bus at end of road to Kendal.
