Great little site. Clean and tidy. Everything you need. The new shower block is excellent. Very close to the bus stop for Kendal and Kirby Lonsdale. Crooklands pub and restaurant is really close.

Only stayed for a 1 night stop-off, but it was a lovely place. The facilities were very modern and spotless. The host was very nice and friendly. Close to electric hook up and water. It was really lovely to take a walk along the canal. The entrance of the canal is right across the road from the gate!

We booked Little Acre as part of a 2 week road trip and it was night 14 of 14. We booked it last minute on our way home. So glad we found you. Wow, what a find and what an absolute gem of a campsite - what a fabulous place to stay. The owners, Paul and Sarah, were lovely and so welcoming. The icing on the cake here was the showers. We stayed at loads of sites during our road trip and by far the facilities here were the best we had experienced. We hope to plan a break in the Lake District in the future and will be back to stay. Fabulous - thank you so much.

Site's response

Thank you, Izzy. I'm glad that you were able to close off your road trip with us and that your trip was such a great success. Fingers crossed that your Lake District plans come off and that we can host you another time. Paul & Sarah.

An absolute gem!

What to say about this little gem. Never seen toilet and shower blocks like these, other than in a 5 star hotel. The owner was lovely and could not have been more helpful. The site is immaculate and well organised. Would recommend 100%.

Cheers Tricia, thank you for rating us as 5 stars and recommending us on Campsites.co.uk. Paul.

Small park with the best service from the owners, who are on site and so accommodating. The facilities are second to none. I really couldn't recommend this site more if you're visiting the Lakes or on your way to or from Scotland. 5 stars in every way. Thank you.

Hi Fiona, thank you for the lovely review of your stay at Little Acre. Hopefully we'll be able to host you again in the future when the weather is a bit brighter! Paul & Sarah.

We were greeted upon arrival by Pete the owner, who was very friendly and helpful. The site was super neat site and well maintained. The new shower block was fantastic and the site was in a great location for exploring lakes and Yorkshire. Local pub within 100metres and was dog friendly.

Hi Bernie Thank you for staying with us at Little Acre. I'm glad that it all worked out well for you and the pooches. Paul

Plot 1

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesApr 2024

We were given plot 1, which I asked to change to a different plot as plot 1 is set side on rather than facing forward. I have anxiety and need bushes or trees behind the caravan or side. I was told that the only other plot was next to a house that was being built so therefore would be noisy. I was disappointed to see on my stay that plot 6 was never in use and would have been a better plot for my comfort/anxiety. I didn't think plot one should be a plot, there's an access road right in front of the caravan making it awkward to sit outside as cars keep driving past. The site was clean and the owner was friendly but I will not be returning to Little Acre Caravan Site.

Site's response

Hello Natalie, thank you for staying at Little Acre recently. I'm sorry to read that your anxiety issues meant that you couldn't enjoy your stay with me. Pitch #1 is one of my most popular pitches, as it is so large and has a large grassy area with it. You were quite late with your booking and at the time, I only had pitch #1 or #17 available for you and after offering the options you chose pitch #1 as you thought that it would work better for you. During your stay with me, I did have other bookings on #6, from people who had booked prior to you, one unfortunately didn't arrive for his stay and I'm surprised that you didn't see the other campervan that was on #6 during your stay. All of my pitches have a driveway in front of them (otherwise no one could get in or out!) and after looking at my booking diary, I can see that the adjacent pitches had a campervan, a sprinter campervan and a motorhome on them at times, but for most of your stay, most of the pitches were unoccupied and that at no stage were there any cars around you. I understand that you won't be returning to Little Acre, but I hope that you are able to find a site that can accommodate your requirements. Paul

Wonderful owners and best campsite toilets ever!

Brilliant site, lovely position (5 Mins from J36 M6). Very nice owner who was always around if you needed him, Nice and quiet, fantastic shower/toilet block. Pub/restaurant across the road and the site sits between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Moors. Little Acre, big gem.

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesMar 2024

Had a lovely stay at Little Acre. Paul is a great host, very friendly and helpful. Showers and toilets were best we've ever seen on a caravan site. Right on the towpath - muddy but passable with appropriate footwear. We walked to Kendal and got the bus back, close to the coast at Arnside and Grange over Sands. Nice pub very close and a village bakery up the road. Lots of good walks which is great especially with a dog. Would stay again and highly recommended.

Hello Anne, it's good to read that your stay with us went so well. Thank you for the 5* review and I hope that we can host you again in the future. Paul.

Lovely campsite, very clean and a very warm welcome. Could do with an onsite shop but the shower facilities were excellent. Wi-Fi was very good. Would stay again on the way to an onward journey.

Site's response

Hello Stephen. Thank you for staying with me at Little Acre and it would be lovely to host you in the future. I don't have a shop at Little Acre (& no plans for one!) as there is a 24 hour petrol station less than 1/3rd of a mile away which is very well stocked. See you again - Paul.

What a beautiful place to stay

This site is the perfect stay. Facilities are the best we have experienced and the owners were very welcoming and gave us good places to visit. Canal walks and a pub with great food and friendly staff on the door step. Petrol station 2 minutes away. Had a great time. Would have stayed longer if I hadn't payed for our next campsite already. We will stay here the next time we come to The Lakes. See you soon.
