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 along the peaceful Lancaster Canal (just adjacent to the 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!

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2026

This was our first proper campsite with Voxy, our campervan and was a great place to stay. Very warm welcome when we got there, good pitch and the facilities were very good and clean. The location is great for a short drive to the Lakes for walking. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family.

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2026

I’ve visited this site a couple of times now and really enjoy it. It’s peaceful, adults‑only, and spotless. The showers are lovely and hot, and there’s a fantastic pub just a few hundred yards away with great food. I’ll definitely be back.

Hi Leisa Thank you for being a returning customer to Little Acre - it's really appreciated. The next time you're here, your little dog won't be just so little any more ! Paul

Lovely site with a great personal welcome from Paul. Excellent for our two spaniels and very quiet site and location. The pub was amazing so thanks for that recommendation! Would definitely return.

Site's response

Hello Bev At times, we could rename the site to Spaniel Acre, or Little Spaniel as they are so popular here (we have 2 ourselves !). Enjoy your touring and it would be lovely to host you again. Paul

Fantastic stay, staff were both friendly and helpful. The facilities were above and beyond what you would expect from a campsite. In fact the toilets and showers would not have looked out of place in a hotel room. Just a short walk across to the local dog friendly pub which does lovely meals is ideal and a short walk to access the canal is good for a gentle stroll. Would thoroughly recommend this site to anyone

Little Acre was exactly what was advertised and more! The campsite was brilliantly located and very easy to find with the instructions provided. Camping pitches were all clearly marked with sufficient space between one another. Owners were extremely lovely and helpful, including providing us with an EHU extension when ours wasn't long enough - thank you! We will definitely be staying here again in the future!

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2026

What a little gem this place is. Perfect stop halfway home from our NC500 trip. Paul was very welcoming and friendly. He's a dog lover so our pooches were most welcome. Being adult only it was clean, quiet and relaxing. The toilets and showers are so nice, better than most hotels! The pub across the road serves great food. Book a table though, extremely popular place.

Site's response

Hi Emma I hope that your NC500 expedition was a good one - I feel that I've done it by proxy dozens of times, as people stay with me on the way Up and then back Down again !! Thank you for choosing to stay with us and it would be lovely to host you another time if you are up our way. Paul

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2026

Gorgeous little adults only campsite next to a canal and opposite a pub. The best shower facilities I have ever seen! Only downside for us was the constant noise from the M6, even during the night. Not the fault of the campsite though, which I couldn't fault.

Site's response

Hi Julie, thank you for staying with us and recommending us on Campsites.co.uk. The background noise of the M6 is something that comes and goes with the weather. Most of the time, it's not there, or is very faint in the background, but if the wind comes from that direction (which isn't often), it's more noticeable. Paul.

Lovely!

campsite was recommended to us, lovely setting , adults only site, very welcoming helpful owners, facilities very clean , great walk along canal , honesty box on the walk route, pub just across road was nice, although gets busy for food. book before going if you want food. definitely recommend and we will be back for another stay.

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2026

Amazing site - would like a bit of a dog area but the canal is just outside the gate for walks Will definitely be back

Site's response

Hi Andrea, thank you for staying with us and for rating Little Acre as 5*s on Campsites.co.uk. As you saw, my site isn't a large place, which would make adding a dog area very difficult. Plus, with having the canal towpath opposite my entrance, it's something that possibly wouldn't see much use. See you next time, Paul.

Loved it!
