Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2026 We stayed just one night on our way north . What a fantastic site situated just off the motorway. It was extremely quiet and very well maintained. Plus extras In Shower facility like cotton buds hand cream and nail files etc . Very nice touch . I would definitely use this site again . The owner was very accommodating and understanding. Also a very nice pub opposite.

Hi Maria
You were very welcome to say with us overnight whilst you were heading towards Scotland. We get lots of people "one nighting" in the season and they're very welcome to carry on doing so.
Enjoy your travels and it would be lovely to host you again.

Absolutely brilliant stay
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2026 We have just returned from a week camping at this adult only site. Paul and Sarah are so welcoming and keep the fabulous facilities and site extremely clean and tidy.
It was so easy to visit places within 30 minutes. Whilst there we visited Arndale, Silverdale, Ambleside, Bowness, Windermere, Lakeland Wildlife Oasis & Kirkby Lonsdale.
The local pub is minutes by foot and there is a local petrol station selling ice and a few groceries. A lovely canal walk is just outside the campsite gates where you can walk the tow path for miles. Initially we booked for 6 night but had such a great time asked to stay another night.
Never had to wait for a free toilet and only a few times did we wait 2-3 minutes for a shower. The genius 20p meter for three minutes was ample and kept the showers moving. I can't tell you enough how beautiful the showers, toilets, washing up and laundry facilities are!
The only downside, which is beyond anything Sarah & Paul can do, is that the tent pitches are very close to a noisy road that haulage trucks use day and night but after a few nights, we got used to the traffic.
It was so good, we'll definitely be going back.

Fantastic campsite, lovely hosts, noisy neighbourhood
Trailer Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2026 A lovely little campsite.
Fantastic amenities that are washed and cleaned regularly. Hosts were lovely, Paul was helpful, and seemed to genuinely care about his guests wellbeing and enjoyment. Picturesque pastoral views.
Wonderfully quiet customers, no one shouting, getting lary. People were friendly and helpful, chatty and neighbourly.
The only issue I had, and it's not anything to do with the campsite, was the early morning and evening traffic and business noise, lots of motorbikes going too fast, enormous trucks trying to go over a nasty bend and a narrow bridge. Some drivers took a considerable time to negotiate that turn. Also, it's close to the M6, which I thought would be an issue. Never heard it though. The local traffic and there is a lot of it from early around 5:30am ish to 9-10 at night. So if you want somewhere super quiet, this might not be the spot for you.
On the other hand, it is very well placed for access to the Lake District or the Yorkshire Dales. Both beautiful parts of the country. So it's a bit fly in the ointment type of thing, great campsite, great location but the great location costs the traffic noise. If you have earplugs, I'd take them I did and found them very helpful. I slept soundly enough. Only really noticed the traffic noise in the day and early evening.
If you're away out all day, you're likely to miss most of the noisiest busiest times.

Hi Sean,
Thank you for staying with us recently with your trailer tent and for recommending us on Campsites.co.uk.
It's a shame that some traffic noise from inconsiderate motorists/motorcyclists took the edge off your stay and I can see that you were able to sleep soundly whilst here.
Enjoy your travels.

Fantastic campsite
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2026 What a gorgeous campsite this was. Our first time here and we will definitely be going back.
Clean, well designed. Lovely, clean showers and toilets. The 20ps for the shower are not an issue and you get a long time for 20p, about 3 minutes. They have plenty of change for this in the office. Friendly owners. So peaceful and relaxing.
There's a lovely pub just minutes away. The canal walk right next to it was stunning and we saw loads of wildlife.
Perfect for the lakes and walks. And a great stop over just off the motorway. There's a little bit of noise from the motorway but it's minimal. Later at night we heard nothing.
Highly recommend. Loved it.

Ideal location and amazing facilities Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2026 After 15 years of refusing to camp, I finally conceded and came away with my husband and 2 dogs.
We had beautiful weather. The campsite is 5* and we will definitely be returning. The location is great for both Cumbria and Yorkshire. Beautiful walks and swims for the dogs. Thank you Paul for letting us arrive late after my husband's car broke down 🥴

Hi Sally
I hadn't realised that it was 15 years since you last came camping !! I hope that your time at Little Acre (& the lovely weather) has set you up for another trip.

Excellent, clean, well managed site, convenient location
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2026 Wonderful little site with spotless facilities.
Just off the M6 at junction 36, the location is fantastic as it's very easy to get to and then perfectly located to drive to either The Lakes or The Yorkshire Dales.
I emailed ahead to ask if we could arrive back late after the England match and Paul replied saying he'd put us in the space closest to the gates to make sure we had freedom to come back late without disturbing anyone. Paul lives on site and was busy doing maintenance jobs when we checked in. The 2 toilet/shower blocks were immaculate which is very high up my priority list.
Crooklands Hotel is just opposite the site and we were able to walk across for a meal. There's no shop on site, but there's a garage a few minutes walk down the canal which sells all the basic essentials.
We highly recommend this site to anyone and will definitely be back.

An excellent stay
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2026 We chose this site because it promised to provide everything we are looking for - easy access to the Lakes, a small site close to a good walking environment along the canal for our dog and a good eatery within walking distance.
We were not disappointed in any way.
Fabulous, clean and organised site, friendly, welcoming and attentive owners - we will definitely be going back.

Fabulous site
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2026 We stayed in our caravan for 4 nights with 3 of our dogs and absolutely loved it.
The site is adult only and is not too big, which we liked. It is perfectly positioned for exploring the lakes and surrounding areas, and there is a lovely pub on the doorstep.
The site was very clean and tidy, and the pitches are a generous size so you don't feel on top of each other. The toilets and washing facilities are excellent, very modern and clean, with a lovely extra touch of providing hand lotion, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and much more.
The owners of the site, Sarah and Paul, are lovely people, very friendly, helpful and accommodating, we will definitely be returning for another stay in the near future.

Very friendly and well kept
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2026 We had a lovely time camping. We were welcomed with a very in depth explanation and by the lovely staff. The toilets and showers were kept impeccably clean. The one thing and partly due to the lovely hot weather we had was a lack of a freezer for ice packs but it did not change the lovely stay.
Site's response
Hi Sarah
Thank you for staying with us recently and bringing such lovely weather with you.
Previously we've offered a freezer for people to use for icepacks etc, but sadly for quite a few reasons, it ended up causing unnecessary aggravations, so it's something that we no longer offer.
Enjoy your travels and hopefully we'll be able to host you another time.

Beautiful camp site!
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2026 Just stayed for 2 nights at Little Acre and had a peaceful and relaxing time. Owner Paul was very welcoming. This is a perfect location for exploring the Lakes and Dales. The campsite was immaculate and all communal areas were spotless. The showers and toilets are some of the best I've seen!! I would definitely stay here again when up that way. Thank you!

Fabulous Experience
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2026 Well, this was my first time camping and a better experience I couldn't have had. Paul was hugely welcoming and the site was fabulous. The showers and toilets were much better than expected. The site had amazing views of the countryside. Nice walks along the canal. A hop skip and a jump from the pub.... Fabulous! Will Def be booking again😁

Little Acres
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jul 2026 Was located in parking slot 28 , which was well situated near the shower/toilet/washing up , laundry, bin area.
Each camper van had their own little lawn area which was perfect and mowed for ,putting awning out and sitting out , and you didn't face the next campervans lawn so everyone had their privacy .
The shower, toilet, washing up area, laundry area , all indoors was in my opinion 5 ***** and all credit to the owners - well impressed.
The site is adult only so was one of the quietest sites we've been on after 10pm.
Only chatted with the Gentleman owner in our time there , and he was beyond helpful and informative .
The Canal walk was heaven for us and our 2 small dogs , and only a 1 min walk from site .
A very relaxing weekend - and will definitely book again

Great
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jun 2026 Very happy with facilities everything you need there very clean the pub near it was very nice as well. There’s only one thing we thought could make it better as there’s not many shops very close you have to drive everywhere which can be awkward with the camper van to park is if they had a facilities for a little shop to just sell bits and bobs like bread just for those mornings you forget something or little bit extra, but apart from that extremely happy with the Place definitely go back again

Hi Simon
It was lovely to host you recently and it would be great to have you back again. At one stage we looked at the practicalities of having a small shop onsite, but we struggled to find somewhere onsite that would be suitable, plus, with a well stocked petrol station that is open 24 hours a day and which is only 1/3rd mile away, we realised that it may be something that wasn't a realistic proposition for us.
See you next time.
Paul
Flying visit
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Jun 2026 We were only passing by on the way home from Scotland but had a wonderful time at Little Acre. Facilities all excellent, and great to have a pub with good food in walking distance. Nice canal walk with the dog in the morning too.

HI Julie, thank you for describing us as "best site ever". That means an awful lot to us. Paul & Sarah.
Great place to stay! Would go again
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2026 We stayed a little acre camping site from Friday through to Sunday.
It had great access to Windermere and Kendall The shower toilet and washing-up block was great and always clean every time I wanted to use it. Some of the best facilities I've ever seen in a campsite! You can hear the M6 a little bit - but it's like a faint 'shhh-shhh' sound in the distance, kind of like a quiet white noise, never affected how well I slept!
