Great site
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2025 Brilliant and friendly site. The communal areas are clean, tidy and fresh at all times and had some great added extras in the toilet blocks such as plasters, wipes and cotton balls.
The staff were helpful and polite and it's located close to local shops, food places and lots of fab walks.
Will definitely be returning again :)

Perfect little campsite
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2025 Pretty little campsite. Only stayed one night, but wished we had stayed longer. The shower rooms were the best we have seen with added luxuries.
Lovely walks just outside the gate. Tidy pitches and a friendly, helpful host.
Will stay longer next time.

Great campsite
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2025 We stayed with a VW-type campervan and a large tent, was put together and friends joined with a motorhome. Small site and well laid out. Facilities were clean and tidy. Everything was easy to use and the chap on site was lovely!

Perfect Getaway
May 2025 Amazing site with really high quality facilities. Paul came to introduce himself and made us feel very welcome. The shower and facilities are hotel quality and the site is quiet and in a great location for South Lakes. We loved the walks by the canal nearby with our dogs and this will be our only stopover for South Lakes from now on. Thanks Paul!

Great campsite
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches May 2025 Have stayed at this campsite before and love location ie. canal walk for dogs just across road and hotel for eating out also just across road.
Paul is very friendly and works hard keeping site well maintained. There are 2 shower blocks, one with lovely modern individual toilets and showers (if you like this) with shampoo, conditioner and body wash which is a nice touch, and one with same products but older.
Not a negative, but maybe worth a note, as I'm claustrophobic I am unable to use the totally enclosed toilets - thankfully, can use the older toilet block facilities which is your more traditional campsite layout. Also, don't like how the windows are all locked and you can't open them.
Other than these personal issues, I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely, little site.
Site's response
Hi Diane
Thank you for staying with us again recently. I can appreciate how difficult things are if you suffer from claustrophobia, but thankfully the other shower and loo block worked for you.
The reason that the windows are locked on trickle vent is that the shower block has thermostatically controlled underfloor heating and humidity controlled extractor fans. If the windows / doors are kept open, neither will work properly.
Enjoy your travels and it'll be lovely to host you again.
Paul
Unbelievable!
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2025 Unbelievable site, the place is immaculate and facilities are great.

Fantastic
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2025 This site is second to none.
Paul was very friendly and welcoming. He texted us instructions of where to pitch a few hours before our arrival. Made us feel valued.
The site itself is immaculate with the best shower/toilet facilities we have experienced in a very long time.
The position is great for a trip into the Lakes. Walks on the canal and a lovely pub/ restaurant across the road.

Thoroughly recommend this site
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2025 Immaculately maintained site.
Luxurious shower block, spotlessly clean washing up area with washing machine and dryer. Very helpful staff - loaned us an electric lead.
2 minutes from the Crooklands Hotel which serves excellent meals and nice place to have a drink. Lovely walks along the Kendal - Lancaster canal. 40 minute canal boat rides on Sunday's in the summer months run by volunteers of the Canal Trust. Weekday bus route into Kendal.
Only slightly negative is that it is quite near the motorway and at night time you can hear vehicle traffic but you get used to it and it certainly wouldn't put us off from staying here again.

Hi Janet

Fantastic site!
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2025 I couldn't recommend this camp site enough.
We stayed for 2 nights in a small tent and had a fantastic weekend, assisted by the great weather. We received a lot of information & help from Paul which we were very thankful for.
The tent field is spacious and flat with access to their brand new toilet shower block. The facilities are second to none.
We will definitely be returning soon!

Good value for money. Facilities are excellent (toilets, showers, washer/dryer), and electric hook-up.

I'll definitely be coming back.

Pleasant stay
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2025 Nice, quiet campsite with excellent facilities.
It's obvious a lot of thought has gone into the planning of the site which the owners must be proud of. The grounds were well maintained, clean & tidy.
Would recommend. Thank you.

Gorgeous site
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Pitches May 2025 Never been on such an immaculate site, couldn't fault anything, best showers/toilets I've ever seen on a campsite. The man who greeted us was so lovely with his dog, Sandy, thank you again, will be back.

Perfect weekend stay
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2025 Little Acre campsite was just perfect for what we needed. The directions and the arrival instructions sent in the email were very clear and the owner was very welcoming when we arrived. Nothing was too much bother.
The toilet/shower blocks were very clean and modern, great to use after a nice day out walking the local canal or visiting Kendal or Kirkby Lonsdale. The views from the campsite were beautiful and the surrounding area was perfect for a spring evening walk along the canal seeing the wildlife. The campsite was spacious and quiet which is just what we wanted while also being brilliant for star gazing at night time.
On the Sunday we visited the Crooklands Hotel pub just across the road with a great roast and a lovely cocktail menu, and friendly staff. Arnside beach was just a 20 minute drive from the campsite and Kirkby Lonsdale was 20 minutes the other way. Great location for exploring the Lakes and the Yorkshire Dale's.
We'll definitely visit again.

Hi Patricia, we'd love you to come back again! Paul & Sarah.
First time away
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches Apr 2025 This beautiful campsite is only 45 minutes ish from home, but a night away on our maiden voyage was the main aim of our trip. Booking was easy and the communication from the owner was great.
We were allocated pitch 17. All pitches had electric hook up and a tap. Lovely large pitches. There is also a grass area for tents. Everybody was friendly and majority had a dog. We took our 2 little dogs.
There are 2 toilet blocks, the newer one of them is beautiful, very clean, huge shower rooms, disabled toilet and unisex toilet cubicles. All super modern, warm and spacious. There are ample rubbish bins neatly stored and recycling bins too.
It really is a lovely site. The Crooklands pub is literally 2 minutes away and the canal runs along side, which was a dream to walk along with the dogs.
We enjoyed our night away, being on such a perfect site has given us the confidence to try further afield.
Knowing this little gem is not far from home is also a comfort for when we just want a night or 2 away with everything we could possibly want. Thankyou Little Acre.

Great location nice facilities
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Apr 2025 Easy location to access, not far from a pub down the road and a shop a ten minute walk away. Also, good location for access to the Lake District not being far away from Windermere or Kendal. Toilet block and showers were also very nice.
