Aerial of Little Acre Camping with the surrounding countryside

Whether you're exploring the Dales or the Lakes, Little Acre Camping is ideal - only a 15 minute drive from both. Relax in the tent here and take the pooch for a stroll by the peaceful Lancaster Canal (just adjacent to site) or hop on a bus to Kendal or Kirkby Lonsdale (both 15 minutes away). Just across the road, is the popular dog friendly Crooklands Hotel, with a bar and very good food served all day. The site is for adults (16+) only!

Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent PitchesJun 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. Paul 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 PitchesJun 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 Paul

Good value for money and good location for the South Lakes

Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent PitchesJun 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.

Thank you for the lovely review Colin- hopefully the new loo, laundry and shower block will be completed for a future stay with us. Paul

Excellent site

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesJun 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.

Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent PitchesJun 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! Paul
