A gem of a site. Small, quiet, beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean. Very friendly hosts. Highly recommend.

First trip away in our new campervan!

I stayed here with my mum for a couple of days. We requested a pitch next to the toilet block as we both have blue badges. We had the perfect location on pitch 26. We were next to the facilities - which were meticulous and the nicest I've seen - and the gate to the canal and pub. The whole site is kept extremely clean and tidy and the personnel were very helpful and friendly. The location was in a quiet area of the South Lakes but we made good use of the buses into Kirkby Lonsdale and Kendal. The bus stop is very close, just in front of the pub. I will definitely be returning - with my husband and dog next time.

Hi Debra I'm glad that you and your Mum enjoyed your time at Little Acre. It'll be lovely to host you again in the future. Paul

2nd time at Little Acre. Location just off the M6 and great place to base if exploring Yorkshire Dales and/or the Lakes. Facilities shower block are spotless and 5 star. The owner, Paul, is friendly and welcoming. Crooklands pub/hotel across the road does great food also if want a change from own BBQ/micro meals. This time the canal towpath was fully open which was great for walks. The weather this Easter weekend wasn't great due to Storm Dave, but not fault of site. Would definitely be back.

Site's response

Hello Kwai Storm Dave didn't really add much to this years Easter Bank Holiday break for anyone ! I'm glad that you made the most of it and now that the works on the canal towpath have been completed, we now have a flat, even clean walking area that goes for 3 miles in each direction from the main gate. I'll have a word with the weather fairies and ses if I can organise some better weather for your next trip. Paul

Excellent

This is a beautiful little site, very well kept,the toilets and showers were spotlessly clean and modern. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The crooklands pub/ restaurant which is 2 mins Walk away serves top quality food at a reasonable price.. This is a great base for venturing in and around the lake district. We will definitely be visiting this site again.

This is our 5th stay at Little Acre, it really is first rate and one of the nicest sites we've ever stayed at! Wide spacious pitches, beautifully maintained grounds, best shower/toilet facilities you'll come across, excellent dog walking along the Lancaster canal path, amazing pub just over the road and super friendly host in Paul. Nothing is too much trouble for him and his team. Highly highly recommend you try this site you won't be disappointed. One recommendation for the future, an outdoor dog wash would be a perfect addition to rinse off muddy paws after a long walk. Can't wait to return, looking for dates in August already.

Site's response

Hi Claire Thank you for being a "frequent flyer" with us at Little Acre - it's really appreciated. Since you were here last, we've added short lengths of hose to the taps that are closest to the elsan points, so these can now be used as a dog wash/paw clean. See you next time Paul

The site is right by a canal path which is lovely for a stroll with a great pub situated across the road. We will definitely be coming back

Had a lovely weekend on this lovely campsite. Paul, the site manager, was friendly and nothing was to much. Only recommendation would be, it would be nice to have a little onsite bar, as the prices as the pub over the road were a bit expensive. But overall, we will absolutely be coming back, hopefully the weather will treat us better this time, which would be a bonus to top off a beautiful weekend away.

Site's response

Hello Patrick Thank you for staying with us recenetly and I'm glad that Storm Dave hasn't put you off coming back to us ! Hopefully it'll be brighter skies next time. Paul & Sarah p.s. thank you for the suggestion of adding a bar to the site. It's something that we've looked into previously, but the costs of doing it were prohibitive.

Pitch perfect!

Couldn't recommend the site enough, host was really welcoming and knowledgeable. The facilities are amazing; the showers are incredible, clean, and smell amazing! The views are lovely, it's nice and peaceful, there's a lovely pub less than a 5 minute walk where the food is great. Will be looking to stay again.
