Date of Visit: April 2018 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: MrBongo 3 reviews from this member

 Stayed one night on way south from Scotland. Great location near J36 and right next to Lancaster Canal. Crooklands Hotel across road where meals and drinks can be had. One site facilities very clean and well kept. Owners are very communicative by email and accept bank transfers, so easy to get booked up. Yes you do get a bit of noise from M6 but just take your ear plugs if you are a light sleeper, didn't bother me. I'll stay again.

 Stayed here recently for one night in our campervan.

We phoned the site on our way up to check a pitch was available.

The friendly owner said he had one left for the night.

The site is in a lovely location by the canal and within easy access of the motorway and on the edge of the lake District.

Minimal noise from motorway but you do get traffic on the main road that passes close by though it didn't bother us in the van.

We parked up and got setup and were duly greeted by the owner who was very helpful and had plenty of info about the area.

The site seemed to be full of mainly semi resident or long term caravan customers perhaps working in the area but it was very quiet.

The facilities are basic but very clean and the site looks to be well looked after.

We had a water point and hookup by the pitch and waste disposal was by the toilet block.

There is a second toilet block on the other side but we didn't use it.

A great little site and we may well return on another adventure to the lakes or even as a stop off on a run to scotland.

 Myself, Partner and 3 friends stayed at little acres over night, we were greeted by the very friendly owner who explained they layout and showed us to our sites.

It is a very clean campsite, small quiet and lovely scenery, with Hotel just 5 mins away and a Texaco garage 10 mins along road that sells papers and has small goods.

Toilets are limited but very clean, as is shower room and dish washing room.

Great little place nice friendly people and reasonably priced with electric hook up will certainly be back before end of summer.

Reviewer: Freedom4us 41 reviews from this member

 This is a small site surrounded by countryside & next to the Lancaster canal. The facilities are basic but clean, one of the blocks is heated and the other not. The pitches are gravel hard standing - awning pegs went in easily. They are nearly level & there is sufficient space for awning, although car space is a little tight. Paul the manager was on hand when we arrived & couldn't of been more helpful. The Texaco garage is a 10 minute walk away, along the canal and across the busy A65. As already stated in a previous review, the bakery in Endmore (5 mins drive) is fabulous - we had a bacon & sausage butty on Saturday morning it was lovely. We ate at The Plough at Lupton (10mins in car) fab food, good beer and very dog friendly, highly recommended. The site is situated close to junction 36 of M6 and therefore is a prime position for visiting South Lakes, North Yorkshire and Morcambe area. There is some road noise from the A65 but not to bad & we woke to the sound of birds singing every morning. The ducks are regular visitors & can be seen waddling around the site or sunbathing! All in all a gem of a site

Reviewer: Babyhippokerry 2 reviews from this member

 This campsite is excellent for cleanliness, price (only £10 per unit per night with electric hook up and an awning), location for south lakes with a bus running from site to kendal then trains from kendal to windermere. There is the crooklands hotel just over the road which serves very nice food, some reviews say its a bit pricey but I thought it was reasonable for the quality of meal served. Then there's Pat who rounded off our stay, being very welcoming and helpful, nothing was any trouble and a brilliant sense of humour. Will definitely return to this site. 


Popular Choice in this Area

Fisherground Campsite - Eskdale

Nestling in the beautiful Eskdale Valley close to Scafell, England's highest mountain and Wastwater, this site is a children's paradise in the heart of the Lake District. The first thing that meets you on arrival is the pond, fed by a stream and usually full of children paddling and playing on tyre rafts. The playground has zip wires, climbing frames, tyre rope-swings and adventure courses.

Grass pitches (some with EHU) for tents, motorhomes, VW-sized campervans (no caravans). Refurbished toilets, showers and laundry. Peace is the watchword on the campsite - catering mainly for families and couples with silence after 10.30pm. Don't forget your marshmallows - campfires are allowed in selected areas. Nearby shop and pub. And there's an added extra: the site sits along the route of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway line, with it's own station. Choo Choo! Find out more here



Date of Visit: August 2014 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Comfortably numb 1 review from this member

 Stayed here one night with three others. It was very easy to find, although the explanation given over the phone did sound like it was more difficult. Site is clean and so are the amenities although very limited one toilet, one shower and one wash up area. For the bank holiday weekend the site was not over busy.

It is located within a five minute walk from the local Hotel which seemed to serve quite nice food and good beer.

Despite signs stating dogs must be on leads very few dogs were but they were well behaved but the rule wasn't enforced.

The question should be; would I come back again and it would be a resounding yes. 


Date of Visit: August 2014 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: SGreen679 3 reviews from this member

 This campsite is brilliant. Met by the owner who helped set up the van and lent a leveller as ours was to thin. Well kept showers and toilet both of which were clean. Close to canal walks / 24hour garage (which gives cash back) and a couple of pubs. Very good pie shop that sells the ultimate in pies. Barge on the canal gives free rides on Sunday, Bank Holidays and the odd Saturday. Show ground 5 mins walk has 2 shows per year with horses, sheep and usual livestock. Give Pat a ring when leaving the motorway and she will meet you. Everybody very friendly and an ideal spot for a visit to the lakes. Cannot say enough about this site. Thanks Pat for making us feel welcome.

Reviewer: And496Y 1 review from this member

 This was our first time in a caravan. We booked last minute - Pat kindly fitted us in, helped us to set up, and even helped with advice!

Spot on site, nice people, great first time experience for us.

The fields are mown weekly, and are extremely tidy.

Would recommend to anyone visiting this area of the lakes.

Reviewer: BlackpoolJewell 3 reviews from this member

 We were lucky enough to get in here last minute for the Bank Holiday weekend. This was our own stupid fault yet Pat was apologetic that she couldn't pitch us where she normally would have done!

We had two kids with us so I think she would have preferred to put us in the larger field but our two weren't bothered and as it was raining we spent more time sat inside playing board games than they did outside anyway.

Toilet and shower facilities (think it was 20p for a shower) were always clean and well-stocked. One down-side that we see a lot is that there were no separate washing facilities.

The kids also had to walk in to the next field to wash up - part of the adventure we said!

We had a couple of lovely walks round and about (in between the rain) and only used the car on the Friday night to drive down in to Milnthorpe for some tea.

I can not recommend the Cross Keys Hotel highly enough for food. I know the pub over the road has been mentioned a lot (we didn't even attempt it as everyone said it was pricey) but the Cross Keys was fab. I had the BEST fish and chips I have ever had in my life, and the steak pie, toastie and chicken skewers were all rated highly by our party too.

As this site is just off the M6 I would definitely think it is worth a visit by most people. 


Date of Visit: July 2012 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Janewaypurple 17 reviews from this member

 This is a nice little site with more positives than negatives. It was a lot smaller than I was expecting, just 2 small fields. Luckily, the field we were in was never busy, so the toilet block with only 1 toilet (unisex), 1 shower (unisex - 20p for 4 mins)and 1 washing-up sink didn't get too busy. There was a larger toilet block in the other field with 2 toilets and 1 shower plus sinks in separate areas for men and women.

The road next to the site was very busy overnight, with large lorries. So we were glad that we had chosen to pitch at the top of the field. However, we easily got used to the traffic noise.

The owners are lovely and there if you want ideas for places to visit but otherwise leave you alone to enjoy your holiday. There are a number of permanent caravans on site with people coming for weekends but they were all really friendly.

One of the main reasons for choosing this site was that it is very reasonably priced, we paid £14 per night for 2 adults and 2 children without EHU. Our children (aged 9 and 13) enjoyed being able to play cricket and run around in the fields. We had great walks and a free barge ride on the canal and it is also a great place for bat spotting.

We briefly went into the hotel across the road but it did not give the impression of being child friendly and was out of our price range for a meal. However, the pub in the village let us go and watch the Olympic opening ceremony, which was really nice of them!

The site is in a fantastic location for exploring The Lake District, very close to Kendal. We stayed for 12 nights and had no problem finding things that we wanted to do.

A really great basic little site which is hugely improved by the helpfulness of the owners. It is no surprise that they have so many regulars returning every year!
