Very friendly, small campsite Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Small Pitch May 2023 Clean and friendly small campsite, which accepts dogs on a lead. The pitch we had, (number 2), did have a small grass area behind the motorhome, which was lovely in the sun. We had an electric hook-up and fresh water on the pitch. There is a canal just outside, which is very good for walking the dog off the lead on the towpath. There is a hotel/pub a short walk away which does accept dogs, but you need to book a table, so we didn't get to go there.
We felt the downsides were the charge for the showers, the single sink in the dishwashing area, which meant a queue to do the washing up, and no motorhome service point.
Overall it was a lovely peaceful site, but we didn't think it was for us.

Hi Lesley
Thank you for reviewing me on campsites.co.uk, which I really appreciate.
I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay and that you (& your dogs !) were made welcome.
I agree that the dishwashing area is busy at peak times (you stayed with us over a BH weekend) and this is something that we are addressing. The large stone building that you will have seen being constructed close to the existing washup area is our new loo/laundry/shower/washup facility, which will more than triple the washing up facilities for folk to use. The original plan was for it to be ready for Whit BH weekend, but timings slipped and we didn't manage that date - we're now at the final stages of completion and it won't be long before it's up and running.
Previously we had "free" showers, but we had several instances of people repeatedly hitting the hot water button that either a) drained the hot water tank or b) drained the 47kg gas cylinder - both of which then rendered the showers unusable for others to use. After reintroducing the 20p for 3 min showers (you can add several 20p's if you'd like a longer shower) the nuisance behavious stopped and the showers once again work as planned for the benefit of everyone. At the same time, we also introduced complimentary shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryers and heated mirrors for people to use.
I don't currently have a motorhome service point, but it is something that I'm looking at for the future - finding a suitable location is proving to be a challenge.
I hope that you enjoy your future travels at sites that suit you better.

Great Little Site
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches May 2023 Beautiful site, close to local pub and canal walk. Staff very helpful. Only one shower in toilet blocks but new one being built! Super clean and maintained well. Will be back.

Thank you Julie. The builders and plumbers are all working actively on site, so progress is being made on the new shower, loo and laundry block (we do have 2 shower & loo blocks on site, but quite a few people only use the one that is closest to them or aren't always aware of the other one).
Since your stay, the swan that is on the canal next to Little Acre has had 9 cygnets, which will be something nice to look at on your next visit!

Nice site and location
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Motorhome and Campervan Pitches May 2023 Nice site, close to M6 and southern Lake District. Managers helpful and friendly. Facilities a bit limited, but clean enough and new ones getting built.
Lovely canal walk and pub is decent with good service and food okay. Bus at end of road to Kendal.

Hello Sean. Thank you for the review and recommending Little Acre on Campsites.co.uk.

Probably the easiest stepping stone to the lake district.
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches May 2023 Easy to find. Easy to access. My journey M1, M6, and there I was.
Shower block very good and very very clean.
Made a great start to the Lake District.
You do the motorway traveling to get there and then relax here, ready to start the next day's smaller roads.

And we even arranged lovely weather for you as well during your stay!
Thank you for the lovely review - as you say, we're very handy for M6 Junction 36, but we aren't troubled by the traffic noise.
