Slightly disappointing
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2023 We booked this site expecting a quiet, basic site. Having read all the reviews, I confirm that the owners are very friendly and helpful. Wi-Fi was good, facilities though basic, were clean with the added bonus of the provision of toiletries etc.
However, before booking I had read about the new block being added 2023 - very much needed and will be an excellent addition when completed. So disappointed that it wasn't completed and in use for our stay. Also, the fact that workmen are there Monday-Friday, not so peaceful! Some nights I found the noise of traffic from M6 quite irritating. If staying in the area again, we would consider staying on this site.

Hello Marian, thank you for staying with us at Little Acre and recommending us on campsites.co.uk.
Like you, I'm disappointed that the new shower, loo and laundry block isn't completed and in use - especially as the work commenced in the first week of January. At the time of your stay several weeks ago, the main construction work had been completed and the plumbers, joiners and electricians would have been mostly working inside, fitting the new block out. They are a good bunch, but with the best will in the world, some noise from inside leaks out.
Hopefully when you're in our area again, you'll stay with us and see the completed job.

P.S. Because the site is so quiet, sound does travel, especially at night if the wind is in the wrong direction. Most of the time, the site is a very quiet place to be.

Large Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2023 Not really near anything walking wise. But drivable, there's plenty.

Thank you for staying at Little Acre and recommendeing us on Campsites.co.uk, Megan. As you said location wise, if you're behind the wheel, we're 15 mins from the Yorkshire Dale and Lake District. On foot, it's a quiet rural location and we have the Lancaster Canal by our entrance to wander along and the good beer & food of the Crooklands Hotel 200 yards away. For folk who don't want to drive, but would like to explore a bit further afield, we are on a bus route that takes you to Kirkby Lonsdale in one direction and Kendal (plus all other places that Kendal serves!) in the other direction.
Until next time

Good value for money and good location for the South Lakes Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2023 Good location, a pub across the road, a clean toilet block and a new block nearing completion.
Good pitch size, the only negative was the bit of traffic noise at night.
Overall though, we enjoyed our stay.

Lovely little campsite, beautiful scenery and great location
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2023 Helpful staff, family-owned business with nice, clean facilities and a beautiful location and nice scenery.
Quiet, clean, and welcoming, with impeccably clean showers/toilet block.
It's about 30 mins from Lake Windermere, through some glorious countryside and there's a lovely pub over the road that serves food.
The price was very reasonable too.

A great find!
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2023 A beautiful little campsite in a great spot for exploring the Lakes. We have stayed here for the last two years as a base for the Great North Swim.
Sandra and Paul are just lovely- kind, welcoming and really helpful.
Peaceful location, with stunning views, great for small children to have a good run around on the field and make new friends.
Basic, clean facilities with everything you need, although new fancy shower block is being built.
Will be back again and again.

I'm glad that your stay (& the Great North Swim) worked out so well for you again Amanda - and with glorious sunshine this time as well!

Campers enjoying a peaceful stay
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2023 Excellent un-fussy, quiet, well-cared-for site. Paul does an excellent job of keeping everything under control. I cannot fault the site for location, just a few minutes off the M6 (junction 36), out of the site entrance cross the road through the gateway and hey presto the Lancaster Canal!
Facilities would have got 5 stars, but they are a little dated, but they are in the process of being updated. Overall our stay was a great break from our normal routine and we went home well relaxed and refreshed. A return in the future is definitely on the cards.

Thank you for the lovely review Brian. Hopefully, for your next stay, we'll get those 5*'s from you. Yes, the "green block" is coming to the end of its life span! It's always clean, it's always fully stocked and it functions as designed, but the shower, loo and laundry block that is replacing it is going to be better in every possible way.
See you next time.

Clean camping that caters for all
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2023 We loved our stay at Little Acre. The location is perfect for exploring. The Lakes and the Dales are on the doorstep!
The facilities are lovely and clean (the shampoo, soap and conditioner dispensers are a great addition) and when the new shower block opens, it will be even better.
The owners are friendly and helpful, and always on hand to help with whatever you need. All in all, a lovely place to stay.

Thank you for the lovely review, David. Like you, we can't wait for the new facilities to be opened - since your stay, we're several steps closer to that happy day!
