Aerial of Little Acre Camping with the surrounding countryside

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 along the peaceful Lancaster Canal (just adjacent to the site), or hop on a bus to Kendal or Kirkby Lonsdale (both 15 minutes away). Just across the road is the popular dog friendly Crooklands Hotel, with a bar and very good food served all day. The site is for adults (16+) only!

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesJul 2026

We stayed for four nights, with our very elderly dog, who enjoyed the strolls on the flat along the canal. We tried the nice food in the local pub, caught the bus to Kendal and chilled. The grass areas are well maintained, some lovely flowers around. The facilities are nearby and are kept meticulously clean, several times a day. They provide chucks for each space, to level your van. There were so many different and beautiful dogs around, all well behaved and friendly. A place to recharge.

Site's response

Hi Carolien I'm glad that the break at Little Acre worked so well for the three of you and you were able to recharge. Enjoy your travels and it would be lovely to host you again. Paul

Hello Johan Thank you for choosing Little Acre for your overnight stay recently. Location wise, we're about 1 mile from Junct 36 on the M6, which makes us a really handy "stopover" for people who are touring. Enjoy your travels. Paul

We had an excellent stay here and thought everything was spot on. Paul was brilliant and was able to find us a powered tent pitch even though we had only booked for without, and the facilities on site were very clean and premium feeling.

Myself and my friends stayed for two nights at Little Acre Campsite. Perfect location and a beautiful site with impeccable toilet and shower facilities. The staff were so welcoming and friendly and really did make an effort to ensure that our stay was perfect. I definitely will be back and I couldn’t recommend this campsite more! Perfect from start to finish!

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesJul 2026

Only an hour from home for us, but a great base for a weekend break. We walked down the canal which was accessed right by the site. Excellent meal at Crooklands across the road. Site itself is brilliant, not too big, lovely owners, modern and clean facilities which were never too busy. Concrete slabs available to put BBQ/firepit on. Tent field was spacious and not overfilled even though it was fully booked. We booked because it was adults only and will definitely stay again when we fancy a short weekend away. It is not remote, so there is some noise from the nearby road, but it didn't bother us at all.

Hi Hayley Thank you for staying with us and leaving such a nice review of your time at Little Acre. Hopefully we'll see you again this season. Paul & Sarah

Immaculately clean small site in a lovely location. The owners were very obliging and friendly. The site is very dog friendly. The Crooklands pub and restaurant across the road is worth a visit and great to have so close by.The site is around 30 mins to Lake Windermere. We would highly recommend staying here. We will definitely return.
