VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2026

Very clean and modern site with a warm welcome from the host. Nice walks by canal immediately from the site. Only improvement would be to scrap the 20p charge for showers. Most sites now have showers included in booking price and fewer people carry cash or change these days. Although host did offer change to be fair.

Site's response

Hi Karen, thank you for staying with us at the Aug Bank Holiday weekend and I'm glad that you enjoyed your time with us. At one stage, the showers were "free" and caused issues, especially at the busiest times of the year (like the BH time when you were with us). On multiple occurrences, people would have a 15/20 minute shower (because it was free), which really hacked off other people who wanted to use the facilities - and then when people did get into the shower, they found that the person before them had used all of the hot water. Since reintroducing the 20p charge, we've had no instances of people "hogging the showers for 15/20 mins because they are free" and they've become much more accessible for everyone - which makes everyone happy, especially when the site is busy. We've also added complimentary luxury shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, hairdryers, nail files, cotton buds and cotton wool balls which have gone down very well. Enjoy your travels and hopefully we'll be able to host you again. Paul

Perfect for a quiet break

First time visiting this park and we found it to be a lovely site,Paul and Sarah were very pleasant and helpful and the facilities were modern and spotless, great food just a 5 minute walk away at the Crooklands hotel and great walks at the canal for our wee dog, again just 2 minutes from the site. We will definitely be paying this site another visit, 5 stars from us.

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2026

Fabulous site. Everything you could ask for and spotlessly clean. Not far off the M6 so perfect if you are looking to break up your journey. We stayed an extra night which wasn't a problem, Paul was very helpful when on our first night we were held up for 6 hours because of a major accident on the M6. Showers and toilets are spacious. You pay 20p for 3 minutes in the shower. There are also facilities to wash and tumble dry your clothes. The cost for the washing machine is ยฃ3 per wash and the same for the tumble dryer. If you are doing heavy items like towels you will need to split them into 2 loads for washing and drying which can work out a bit expensive, but all in all I would stay here again if I was in the area.

Paul & Sarah work exceptionally hard to keep a well maintained, clean site. The shower and toilet facilities are immaculate with all little extras. The grass and the pitches are very well maintained and very tidy. The location has a very good pub /hotel less than a 5 minute walk. The site is adults only which suits us perfectly. This is our second visit and we will definitely be back. I would highly recommend this site.

Site's response

Hi Susan Thank you for choosing us (again) for your break in South Cumbria. I'm glad that you enjoyed your time with us and it would be lovely top host the three of you again. Paul & Sarah

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2026

We've used the site as a one night stopover due to its proximity to the M6 but it is worth a stay for so many more reasons. Aside from the first class, well kept facilities, the site is on a bus route to Kendal or Kirkby Stephen - which is fabulous for motorhome users. There are great walks along the canal and the Crooklands Hotel does fabulous food and a great place for a drink or a coffee. There are too many positives to mention.

Site's response

Hi Lorraine, you're very welcome to stay with us as a 1 nighter, and we know from experience that lots of people then come back to stay with us for longer!! Enjoy your travels, Paul.

First time at campervanning!

We booked 2 nights at Little Acres, what a lovely little spot! It was our first time using our camper van so we stayed the weekend - just what we needed with our little dog. We enjoyed the adventure - so relaxing helped by the weather :)

Site's response

Hello Leanne Thank you for choosing Little Acre for your pioneering campervan trip and I'm glad that it worked out so well for all of you. Paul

The campsite was super easy to find and is located very conveniently. The owner is super nice and very welcoming and I loved how dog-friendly the place is. There are great walks along the channel which is located directly next to the site. The facilities were also spotless throughout my stay. Weโ€™ll definitely be coming back!

Site's response

Hi Sina, it was lovely to host you and the pooch, and I'm glad that you both enjoyed your time with us. We've always been dog friendly at Little Acre, but now that we're also adults only, it's a more relaxed place for our 4 legged friends. Paul

There's a totally relaxed vibe on this lovely little site. Great views all round. The facilities are clean and modern. The 20p for 3 minutes actually works really well because it is plenty of time to have a good shower. It free's them up so others don't have to wait too long. My pitch number was emailed to me so there was no need to have to check in. The owners were just there in the background if you needed any local knowledge. Pitches are mostly fairly level, some are slightly out but they even provided ramps for them. The canal walk next to the site is nice. There's a hotel over the road with nice food all day and beer garden. Plus shop at garage nearby.

Hello Robert You sound like very relaxed after your time with us at Little Acre. Thank you for choosing to stay with us and recommending us on campsites.co.uk. Enjoy your travels. Paul & Sarah

Downgraded the location because of the proximity of the A65, busy road making crossing difficult (ish) if you visit the Crooklands Hotel or use the bus to get to & from Kendal. Apart from that, very minor downside, we couldn't fault this site, everything is perfect.

Couldn't fault it. Site was well looked after and the warden was very welcoming and helpful. Only thing to note is that whilst the proximity to the motorway makes it easy to get to, the noise can be intrusive if/when the wind is in a certain direction.

Site's response

Hello Calum, thank you staying with us at Little Acre and for rating us as a 5* excellent site! Paul & Sarah

What a great place to finish our holiday! Highly Recommended

We chose Little Acre as a stop off on our way back to London from Scotland and it was a great choice! We were met like old friends and shown to our pitch and all the facilities, where the local amenities were including walks and pubs to visit. The facilities were by far the best we experienced of the 10 sites we stayed at during our holiday. The toilets, showers and laundry facilities were hotel standard, absolutely immaculate! A beautiful little park to stay at - quiet, friendly and spotless! Impossible to fault in any way. We will be back without a doubt! Thank you :)

Hi Damon Your review has just made our week. We really enjoy what we do at Little Acre and what you have written is the cherry on the cake !! Paul & Sarah

Duper site just minutes away from Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale .Bus stop very close to site. Our hosts even printed timetabke for us Free levellers available on all pitches.( As sloping pitches) Extra long hose on tap to enable us to fill up on our pitch. Recommend it

Site's response

Hi Barbara Thank you for staying with us recently with your motorhome and I'm glad that you got about and about to enjoy the area. The vast majority of campervan and motorhome pitches are perfectly flat an don't need any chocks or ramps - for the few that aren't, I provide ramps, so that everyone can get themselves levelled up easily. Paul

Solo trip.

Roof Tent - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2026

Had a fabulous time at Little Acre. Paul is a fantastic host, really made us feel welcome and gave us a personal tour of the campsite. Pitch was perfect, shame we only stayed 1 night. Facilities were great, toilets and shower block was spotlessly clean. 20p for a shower, but I thought it was a good idea to stop people staying in there for ages, managed to get a shower in under 2 minutes, even had time to condition my hair ๐Ÿ˜‚ The Crooklands pub/hotel was only a few minutes walk from the campsite and did fantastic meals, roast dinner was like a Christmas dinner. Staff really friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Little Acre. Will definitely be returning.

Thank you Mark It was lovely to host you both of you for your recent one nighters. Enjoy your travels and we'll see you another time.. Paul & Sarah
