Little Acre Holiday Park is just a 15-minute drive from the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks. This dog friendly touring park is adjacent to the tranquil Lancaster Canal, ideal for dog walking and relaxing. Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale are close by and accessible by a bus stop 100m away. Good food and drink from the pub at the Crooklands Hotel is less than 100m and always popular (booking recommended).

A good little site just off the M6 - handy stop on the way to Scotland. Dog walks immediately outside the site along the canal and a pub/restaurant over the road. Only down side was lukewarm showers one morning

The place is first class in every way

Really enjoyed the stay and will definitely return. The shower block was better than some top hotels (and Iโ€™ve stayed in hundreds of them).

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Small PitchMay 2024

Spot on. Would recommend, lovely & quiet. Pitch size good for small vans but may be cramped for bigger vans. Friendly welcome, would return for longer.

Site's response

Hello Ian Thank you for staying with us and I'm glad that your visit was successful for you. The reason that your pitch wasn't as big as the others is because you booked the electric hardstanding small pitch (we only have 1 small pitch at Little Acre) that we only use for campervans ! - we wouldn't pitch anything bigger than a campervan on it, as it wouldn't be a good fit. It'll be lovely to host you again in the future. Paul

Great site, will use again

Lovely small site at great location for walking, just a few yards from the canal and a pub which does good food. Met by Paul who is very friendly and checked we were happy with our pitch which we were. New shower block is very nice, 20 pence for 3 minutes but shower is quite powerful and plenty of hot water, good area for washing up in the same block. Will use site again.

Great little campsite

We really enjoyed our short break at Little acres . The location was great for us as it was just off the motorway in a quiet spot , walking distance to The Crooklands where we had a lovely meal and a convenient bus stop outside there to Kirkby Lonsdale which is one of our favourite places to visit and only 16 minutes away .

Site's response

Hi Brenda Thank you for staying with us (& bringing some lovely weatehr with you !). The bus top across the road is very handy, with people either going to KL (as you did) or going the other way to Kendal and the Lake District beyond. Paul

Lovely stay at Little Acre

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesMay 2024

Though the site location will not be to everyones taste, it is a location that has surprises! This is a return visit for us but this time with a caravan not a tent. The facilities have been updated since our previous visit and more improvements (if that is the word) are due to start within a few days of our departure (12th May). Paul has worked wonders with the site and facilities, always clean, plenty of good advice and the willingness to help anyone that needs it. As said earlier, a return visit and hopefully more trips in the future. A one word summary is impossible but a fair starting point would be BRILLIANT.

Site's response

Hi Brian It's good to read that your stay with a caravan, rather than a tent worked out so well for you. Yes, the next phase of the improvements started today (13th May) and we have started the complete refurbishment and modernisation of our 2nd loo & shower block - we can't wait for its completion ! Locationwise, we are 2 mins from Junct 36 on the M6 and we're just 15 mins from the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. Having a dog friendly pub that serves good food (& beer !) 200 yards away, bus stops to Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale outside the pub, a 24 hour petrol staion with shop less than half a mile from us which can be reached on foot without walking aside the road and the Lancaster Canal towpath which is only 15ft from our entrance are just some of the things that people enjoy about our location. Hopefully you'll like our recently started and planned improvements for the future when you return. Paul

Lovely stay

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesMay 2024

We arrived later than we had hoped due to traffic and weather conditions. A quick phone call to Paul put us at ease and he was waiting for us on our arrival to show us our pitch and where all the facilities were. He was extremely friendly and helpful. We only stayed one night on our way from Worcestershire to Scotland, so didn't get chance for a good look around. The site is alongside a gorgeous canal, which was great for walking our dogs. The nearby pub looked inviting as well. The brand new toilet and shower block is unbelievable. It's better than many expensive hotels we've stayed in. Overall, we can't recommend this site highly enough. Spotlessly clean, friendly and helpful and a lovely quiet location.

This campsite was a really lovely find, probably the best weโ€™ve stayed at in the last two weeks (on the way back from the nc500) The showers/toilets here are totally awesome, modern clean and spacious. Paul the site manager was so helpful and friendly I canโ€™t recommend this site highly enough! The icing on the cake for this site is a smashing pub with great good just yards away

Lovely quiet little family run site, with spaces for motorhomes, caravans and tents. All motor pitches have water and electric hookup. A brand new toilet and shower block is now open, washing up and laundry machines are also in the block. We hand a lovely stay. Site definitely recommended and we will return. A* ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesApr 2024

Very friendly welcome. Site shows all the signs of lots of investment and is very well maintained. Facility blocks are some the best we have encountered and worth the small charge for a shower. Location is great for walking along the adjacent canal. The only negative I can identify is traffic noise, which only reduces very late in the day.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesApr 2024

This was our last night away having done a mini tour round Ayrshire, Galloway Forest and the Lakes, so plenty of sites to compare and this was the nicest site of all. Not just quiet and peaceful but the facilities were spotless. The owners obviously take a great pride in their business and were very welcoming on arrival. Would stay here again in a flash when up in that neck of the woods.

Hello Steve It sounds like your trip was a great success. Thank you for staying with us and rating us so highly. Hopefully we'll be able to host you again in the future. Paul

Good comms ahead of our visit meant we knew exactly which pitch and where it was prior to arrival. Itโ€™s less than 5 minutes from the M6, making it handy as a stopover. We had pretty much set up when the owner came over. Very friendly greeting and he showed us where the facilities were located.The new toilet/shower/amenities block was outstanding. Very clean and tidy, there were individual shower rooms and toilets. They were finished to a very high standard. Our pitch had a slight slope but easily fixed with ramps. Plenty of fresh water taps dotted around the site too. The site was clean, tidy and well maintained. Out of the gate and straight into the canal towpath opposite meant easy walking with dogs. We would happily visit again
