Clear filters Basic campsite with fantastic facilities
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Aug 2024 Really lovely little campsite with amazing facilities and the loveliest owner.
Shower blocks are the best I've ever seen at a campsite, as were the washing up facilities.
Very warm welcome to the site, with information about local walks too. Great campsite, would have happily stayed longer.

Fab stay at Little Acre
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Aug 2024 Our first stay and it won't be our last. A lovely site, with great facilities and very well maintained.

Thank you Julie. You're very welcome to come to Little Acre again and I promise that I'll greet you properly next time! Paul.
Lovely little campsite!
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Aug 2024 A lovely little campsite - very close to the motorway and only a 15/20 minute drive from popular parts of the Lake District like Windermere and Kendal.
The facilities were very modern and clean and well stocked up with the necessities. It's the first time I've had a limit on my shower (20p for 3mins!) but it certainly made me realise I spend far too long in my one at home!
We met Paul upon arrival and he was incredibly cheerful, polite and helpful. We had plenty of space to choose from when pitching our tent.
Overall, a fab weekend away!

Hi Emma, thank you for the lovely review of your recent stay at Little Acre and I'm glad that it went so well for you.

Superb
Large Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Aug 2024 Fab location and easy to find. Outstanding toilet and shower facilities. Very friendly and helpful owner. We had a fantastic break with our friends and will definitely be back.
Only 1 tiny issue was that most of the camping pitches are on a slight slope. However, the owner offered us a choice of pitches on arrival, so it was our own choice. Thanks for a great break.
Site's response
Hi Anthony. Thank you for the lovely review and staying with us recently. The good side of the pitches being on a slight slope, is that the tent field drains very quickly and we never get any issues flooding.
Hopefully I'll be able to host you again.
Paul.
Excellent site
Large Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Aug 2024 Excellent site with modern, clean facilities. Site owner very helpful and friendly. It is Cumbria, so the ground is very stony - you will need decent rock pegs and a hammer to pitch a tent!
Site's response
Hi Peter. It was really good to host you recently and I'm glad that you enjoyed your time with us. The good side of the tent field being on a bed of stones is that is drains very, very well and we rarely, if ever have instances of the tent field getting waterlogged. If anyone arrives without a hammer/mallet I've got several onsite to lend out to folk.
Thank you for recommending us on Campsites.co.uk, Paul & Sarah.
Fab find
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Aug 2024 Lovely site with added touches, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner in the showers.
Washing up facilities include washing up liquid too. Very clean, lovely owners! Immaculate and very friendly. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.
Crooklands is a pub just across the road, if you want to eat there, I suggest booking a week in advance (which we didn't do) - should have read email provided and followed the link to book. Great little find!

Lovely campsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Aug 2024 One of the best campsites I’ve visited. The only thing that I didn’t expect, but did get used to it quickly, was the sound of the cars on the main road which was busy throughout the night.
Site's response
Hi Llia, thank you for staying with us and bringing some lovely weather with you. You can come again! Paul
Excellent site
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Aug 2024 Just got back from Little Acre, site is friendly, clean and well run. Little extras like shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, cotton wool pads and nail files. In the wash up and laundry, you find washing up liquid and washing pods.
All I can say is we will be back and will recommend it to tenting and motorhome friends 😁

Hello William. Thank you for staying with us at Little Acre and your recommendation to others via Campsites.co.uk. Paul.
Camping 2 nights
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2024 Fantastic place. The facilities were excellent. Showers and toilets were spotless and clean, there's a pub over the road.
The petrol station 2 min away do a fantastic bacon banquet, toasties and pies at reasonable prices.
There's a lovely walk down the canal that goes for miles and miles, we will definitely be going back.

Hi Gerard,
Thank you very much indeed for your review - see you again soon. Paul.
Great little place
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2024 Great welcome from the site owner.
Lovely scenery, although quite close to a fairly busy road. All of the facilities were spotless and showers were great (20p for 3 mins). Local pub across road was very busy and could not get a food reservation due to its popularity.
No issues whatsoever and will return.
Site's response
Hi Stephen, we'd love to have you come back as well ! Yes, the pub is very popular and the food that they do (when you can get a table!) is very good. See you next time, Paul.

Excellent, friendly and clean!
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2024 Excellent campsite, very quiet and the owner is very welcoming. The cleanest toilet and shower blocks I've ever experienced on a campsite. There is a pub just across the road and the location is perfect for driving out to different places. 10/10 recommend.

Thank you for staying with us and rating Little Acre so highly, Chloe-Ann - it's really appreciated. Paul.
Spotless, peaceful little getaway
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2024 What a fabulous site this is. As soon as we arrived, we felt so relaxed. The site is absolutely spotless and the facilities are amazing. Paul was very welcoming and helpful.
We visited the pub over the road, which was lovely. Watching a movie by the fire pit after a BBQ was the absolute highlight, and our 2 little doggies just loved being outdoors all weekend.
We will definitely be back!

Hi Lisa, you packed a lot into such a short length of time! We'd love to host you again. Paul & Sarah.
Great location
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2024 Paul was an extremely helpful and pleasant guy. The canal walks were beautiful and the Crooklands pub food was delish.
The site itself was as expected - great showers, pot washing facilities even had washer and dryer! Hairdryer free to use. Showers 20p for 3 mins, more than enough time to wash body and hair. Shampoo, conditioner and shower gel all provided, as is washing up liquid. Lovely, large, green space with electricity hook up if required and fresh cumbrian drinking water on tap along the field!
Great site and area we will definitely return - Tracey, Roy and Staffie Halle.

Best campsite I’ve stayed at
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2024 What a delight this campsite is. This has to be one of the most friendly, clean and well run campsites I have ever stayed at. The showers and toilets are second to none! Will be back and will be telling everyone I know about this.

Thank you very much indeed Laura - that's a lovely review of your stay with me. Paul
Excellent
Large Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2024 This site is perfect for anyone looking to explore the Lake District. The location is excellent, with Bowness 25 minutes away and Kendal just 10 minutes down the road. The facilities are excellent with brand new, regularly cleaned toilet and shower facilities. The staff are extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions, especially Paul who was always willing to help with any queries. All for a great price.

Hello Ethan. Thank you for the lovely review of your recent stay with me. I'm glad that things went so well for you (less so the weather when you were packing up!) Paul.

Hi Laura, thank you for staying with us and recommending Little Acre on Campsites.co.uk. It would be lovely to host you again. Paul.
Lovely camping spot
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2024 Right from the get-go it was a great experience. The owner greeted us and showed us the facilities and advised a good tent spot. The toilets and showers were amazing, well worth the 20p charge, heated, free shower gel, conditioner, body wash - and it's well maintained.
Good location as it's a short drive to the lakes.

Two day stay

Would highly recommend this site.

Thank you for staying with us Gordon - I hope that you enjoy the good weather whilst exploring the area. Paul.
Fantastic little campsite
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2024 Lovely little campsite close to M6.
Owner is lovely and couldn't be more helpful. The toilet block is built to a high standard and always clean. Don't forget 20p for your shower (3 mins) you can get change from the site office.
Pub is 2 minutes walk and serves lovely food. You do need to book in advance though. Lovely walk/cycle along the canal. Close to Lake Windermere and Kendall. Great little pub in next village up which was a 15 minute walk.
We went to watch the Scotland v Hungary match and were made to feel very welcome. There's a great baker shop across the road from this pub which is also very good. Milnthorpe is a 10 minute drive, where you can find a small supermarket and lots of options for food take away. We had pizza from Flame and curry from no3. Can recommend both of these places.
Took off 1 star for location only due to traffic noise. I used earplugs and managed to sleep.

Hi Sally, Thank you for staying with us and recommending us on Campsites.co.uk. I'm glad that you found the Club Inn to watch the football, even if the result wasn't the one that you were hoping for! Paul & Sarah.
