If I could give 6 stars I would. Location next to the canal was amazing. Everything spotless. The man was busy mowing grass, cleaning toilet areas. I even requested a quite spot, which he found for me, without a question. We will be back We will be back

Brilliant, nothing really to be improved upon. Site is quiet and pitches are almost flat with gravel so easy to use ramps even when wet. Facilities are clean and modern, even having wash tablets to hand by the washing machine and drier.

Hi Andrew That's a lovely review of your recent time at Little Acre - thank you very much. Paul p.s. whilst we're closed this Winter, we're giving the Ladies facilities a complete refurbishment and adding washing up facilities to the block closest to the main entrance.

Fabulous

Gorgeous little site, perfect to start our lakes trip. Lovely friendly hosts, good pitches with close water supply and electric hook up. Fabulous facilities, hot multi head showers with anti steam heated mirrors and hairdryer. Separate toilets all spotless and smell lovely. Canal and river walk just across the road, our dog was in disgrace though after jumping in 3 times! Pub across the road but we didn't visit. Slightly road noise from M6 but only a low buzz, highly recommend.

Hi Louise Thank you for starting your Bank Holiday lakes trip with us and thank you for recommending us on campsites.co.uk. Don't be to ruff on your dog going into the adjacent Lancaster Canal. Sandie my cocker spaniel is in it constantly and we joke that she washed with Canal number 5. Paul

Perfect

Stopped at little acre for 2 nights on my way up to Scotland and 1 night on my way back and can honestly say it was one of the friendliest sites we have stopped at, Paul was very accommodating with our pitch requirements due to a nervous dog and gave us the quietist pitch on the site for both our visits also the site was quiet, clean and tidy and can honestly say that the toilet and shower facilities we used on the side of park that had the tent pitches wouldn’t look out of place in a top hotel. Would highly recommend and we will be back in the future.

Extremely lovely site

Hi Claire Thank you for choosing Little Acre for your stop over. With Junct 36 of the M6 being just a mile away, it works out very well for a overnight "pitstop" ! Paul

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Small PitchAug 2025

Just stopped for one night on our way home from Scotland but this nice little site. Is nicely laid out and the new facilities block is of a very high standard with lots of little touches, like shower gel and shampoo. It's a shame it only has 2 showers and 3 toilets, so could be busy when site is full but understand that these things cost, so if it is busy, it's worth the wait. Location to local pub and Lancaster Canal path are very close. The pub is also excellent, again, fully recommend and the canal path is nice and quiet through lovely countryside.

Site's response

Thank you for staying with us recently Andy, and we'd love to host you again. As well as the shower and loo block that you used, we also have another similar sized one on site, so that even when we're at 100% capacity, there are always facilities to use. Enjoy your travels Paul

Great site

This is without doubt one of the best touring sites we have ever stayed on, everything is positive and no negatives to report. The owners are friendly, welcoming and informative, the facilities are second to none and we would have no hesitation in visiting again and recommending. Thank you for a great stay.

Lovely site with lovely staff. Beautifully manicured grass and great pitches. Lovely pub/restaurant just across the road which is a big bonus. I would only have an issue with the cleanliness of the toilets. The showers were clean and each shower was in its own room, but the toilets did need a more regular and thorough clean. My only complaint about a great site.

A great little site

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2025

A great little site, which is well placed for exploring the surrounding area. This site is in an ideal position for exploring the South Lakes and The Yorkshire Dales. It is about five minutes from the Junction 36 of the M6 motorway, making it easy to find and very convenient when towing a caravan. The people who run the site are really friendly and helpful. There are two different amenity blocks. One is lovely and has very modern showers, toilets, washing up and laundry facilities. The other is much older, but was still always clean. There are also extra touches, for example, they provide washing-up liquid, laundry tablets, nail files, shampoo etc. Most of the pitches were flat. However, ours was on a hill, so it made it challenging when trying to pitch our caravan, without a motor mover! There is a constant background noise from the M6 motorway, but after the first night, we hardly noticed it. We had lovely walks along the canal, which is just outside the site. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding area and it was around 20-30 minute drive to both south lakes and Yorkshire Dales. We found it very convenient with lots to explore for our overall 4 night stay. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Hi Hilary Thank you for leaving such a lovely comprehensive review of your recent stay with us at Little Acre. During Winter, we're giving the (original)) ladies shower and loo block a complete refurbishment - we're stripping everything out and replacing the lot !! Once its done, it'll be all fresh and new feeling again !! Paul

This site is a perfect base for exploring nearby attractions. The owner Paul, is friendly, helpful, and very accommodating. The site is kept in beautiful condition. The toilet and shower facilities are immaculate Would defo come back. Have not seen any children, which for me personally is nice. Lots of dogs though, which again for me is nice.

Site's response

Hi Greig Thank you for choosing Little Acre and for leaving such a lovely review of your time with us. We get very few children staying with us and from Aug 2025 the youngest age for someone staying with us is 13. From March 2026 onwards we will will be completely adult (age 13+) only. Yes, we are very dog friendly and having the Lancaster Canal towpath by our entrance and a good quality dog friendly pub 200 yards away, our 4 legged friends are very welcome. Paul

The site was really lovely, the facilities too. You couldn't ask for anymore. The site warden was very friendly and helpful. It was within easy access to the motorway, and to the lakes. The Crooklands hotel served lovely and well presented food, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I can't praise Little Acre highly enough, we really enjoyed our stay, and would definitely recommend it to everyone. Thank you for making our holiday so enjoyable.
