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 by the peaceful Lancaster Canal (just adjacent to site) or hop on a convenient bus to Kendal or Kirkby Lonsdale (both 15 minutes away). Just across the road, about a five minute walk away is the popular dog friendly Crooklands Hotel, with a bar and very good food served all day.

Why choose Little Acre Camping

Featured in our 2025 Outstanding Sites list of reliably excellent camping, glamping, and touring sites

Excellent location, just a 15 minute drive from the Dales or the Lakes

Stunning Lancaster Canal is just across from the site, with views across the water

Dog friendly site with plenty of surrounding walks ideal for you and your pooch

About the site

This camping base is family-run and offers a peaceful break in a rural setting, less than two minutes from the M6 with the Lake District and beautiful Yorkshire Dales both 15 minutes away. This is a nice stopping off point if you are on a long road trip, whether southbound or northbound. Tent pitches are spacious and the tent field is never overcrowded. All tents enjoy complimentary, fast and reliable WiFi and if you book an electric pitch, you'll have a 10 amp hook up too. The pitches for campervans, sprinter campervans and motorhomes are flat hardstanding pitches, with electric hook up and water adjacent to them. You can meet the wildlife along the adjacent Lancaster Canal, which is home to ducks, swans, herons and more - perhaps even cattle paddling in the canal at times! The site is dog friendly with the canal towpath making a great place for your four legged friends to stretch their legs or for humans to have a wander and unwind. There is a shop in a 24-hour petrol station and a bakery in the village of Endmoor - both are about a ten minute walk away. Please note, if in a tent, the youngest age of a camper is 12 years old and Little Acre only tales single pitch bookings. The onsite WiFi covers the entire site.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesJul 2025

First time visiting this lovely site and definitely won’t be our last. Paul was so helpful from the moment of booking by sending us a confirmation email and directions on how to get there and lots of great information about the site. The toilets and shower’s were absolutely beautiful and spotless. Location quiet with a great pub 5 mins away and great size pitches. We had really enjoyed our mini break away here. We will definitely be booking again. Everything you need and more in a beautiful location and the host Paul was super helpful and couldn’t do enough for you to ensure an enjoyable stay. Thanks again Paul we will be back soon to your amazing Little Acres site very soon .

Things to do on site and in the Milnthorpe area

Lots of things to see and do within easy reach, starting with teeing off at the excellent golf courses within a short drive - Kirkby Lonsdale, Windermere, Kendal and Grange.

Dawdle along the towpath of the Lancaster Canal, where kids can look out for wildlife and birds or you can take a trip on the Water Witch canal boat for a small fee every weekend for that extra relaxation. Of course, any time you fancy refreshment there's the good food and drink at the hotel very near to site.

A ten minute drive will bring you to the market town of Kendal and the entrance to the wonderful Lake District or, to the east, the entrance to the Yorkshire Dales. The Lake District National Park is a 15 minute drive to the west and has some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK. It can be reached easily by car.

The site is within walking distance from Westmorland County Showground, which hosts many events during the year, including the annual Westmorland County Show.
