 Just come back from a few days at Little Acre, my 2 children had a ball on the site. Plenty or room on the pitch and by the caravan to play with their toys. - I much prefer a site with space where the kids can play than for them to have to go to a play park where I cant see them. Fantastic site for me!
It is a great campsite. Facilities are basic but clean. Campsite is really reasonably priced, and quiet. Just 5 minutes from the M6 motorway J36. Really easy to find (gotta be for me to have found it haha)
Pat is lovely, and couldn't do enough to ensure you have a good stay, starting by helping me reverse the caravan into position and as it is the first time I have done it I was very very grateful. Always on hand to help and answer any questions. In fact Pat was brilliant even when I phoned to book onto the site. !
There is a lovely Hotel bar and restaurant across the road, more expensive than a pub, but reasonably priced. And really well located for easy access from the motorway and to other parts of the lake district.
We were only 10 minutes away from Kendal, and 20 minutes from Grange. Windermere is not far either.
There was a free barge ride down the canal, which is just outside the entrance to the campsite all they ask for is donations.
We will definitely go back here.

Only the second time we have used the 'big tin box' as the kids call it. Absolutely wonderful site.
Warden couldn't be more helpful. Not really got the hang of the reversing thing yet, but was helped to position on the pitch.
Site was very quiet when we were there, but that meant more room for the kids to run about.
Facilities on site are basic but very clean, warden does a good job keeping them that way.
Crooklands hotel is visible from one field and although friendly and welcoming it's a bit pricey.
The walk along the canal is great, but a bit on the muddy side after days of rain. There is a canal boat ride during the summer months, but was not running while we were there.
Site is 5 minutes from M6 and very easy to find.
Kendal is close enough for anything forgotten (Asda etc).
We will definitely be having another weekend there.

A small friendly site situated just south of kendal. Pat is one of the most helpful, friendly people we have encountered in all our years of camping. The facilities on site were adequate but clean and serviceable. One of the toilet/shower blocks is in need of some updating but the other one across the site is modern and has extra toilets.
Tent pitches were good, your car parked along side your tent.
We stayed sat-sun night over the bank holiday, which we feel was spoilt because the farmer on the other side of the Lancaster canal had hired his field out for a caravan rally. This resulted in music blaring out all Sunday evening and into the early hours on the Monday morning. So we think it would be a good idea if booking for your stay to check with pat beforehand if a similar event is likely to occur when you want to stay.
Other than this little acres is a great find for any camper. We cannot praise pat enough for her caring manner to her guests.
Whilst staying here please try 'the punch bowl' just a few miles towards kendal at barrows green for a welcoming friendly pub with good value meals. We don't think you will be disappointed

We just stayed one night to try our new tent out. We were made very welcome by Pat, the head honcho, and other people who were staying on the site, especially when we were leaving and the car wouldn't start due to a flat battery, a big thanks to everyone who helped.
It's a great place to base yourself, only six miles from Kendal, and a great pub/restaurant, The Crooklands Hotel, across the road. Food was fantastic, but we would advise booking a table in advance.
The site is small and friendly, but you have everything you could need, plenty of hot water in the showers.
Price of stay was extremely reasonable and Pat couldn't have done more to make us welcome.
We will definitely be back for a longer stay.

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

Absolutely great!
A lovely site with both hard standings and grass pitches. But above all, a really nice and more than helpful couple who run it. Nothing is too much trouble and they go several extra miles to make sure you have anything and everything you need.
We will definitely be returning and have already booked our next Bank Holiday weekend there. We look forward to having another wonderful weekend there and are certain of a warm and friendly reception from our hosts.
Thank You Little Acre for making our Easter break one to remember always.

Well we only live 2 miles away from this site and decided to give our new (to us) caravan it's first venture. We decided on a local location so that we could nip home if we had any teething problems (luckily we didn't). I must say Little Acres should be re-named Little Jewel! A lovely site and we were made very welcome with the minimum of fuss. Some great walks along the canal and footpaths and a lovely meal on Saturday night across the road at the Crooklands Hotel.
All in all I would recommend this site without hesitation.

This site is lovely and we'll be calling again. The pitches are good with hard standing gravel. There are around 20 pitches and all are good standard and the grounds are kept clean and tidy.
The best thing about the site is Pat, the warden. She is very laid back and very friendly. She welcomed us to the site on arrival and said not to worry about payment until we were ready. Any time over the weekend would suffice. Pat told us that on the day of leaving there there would be no rush to leave and they had no guidelines on leaving by a certain time. We left at 2pm and she was happy with this.
The shower and toilet block were basic and had formica cubicles but we always use the shower in our van. They were however clean.
There was a reasonable picture on our freeview tv if you are inclined.
The canal is literally 20 yards across the quiet country lane with a few ducks coming to see our little girl for feeding.
It was approx 1/2 mile to the M6 and this could be heard slightly in the distance but nothing to put us off.
We sampled The Crooklands Hotel 200 yards from the site. Very nice meal and cosy log fire in the bar.
There are no amenities or play areas for kids on the site just the canal for a walk. Our little girl did find a den in the hedge though that she loved.
Consider this site. I think you'll like it.

We camp in our converted 4x4 with an awning and this posed no problem at Little Acre.
The owners of this site as so laid back and accommodating. The site itself is very basic. The camping pitch is just a field just off the road. However this road is just off the canal and that is what we were there for, to paddle up the Lancaster Canal so this site was absolutely ideal.
It is true that the camping facilities consist of 1 communal toilet, 1 shower and a washing room. However not 200 yards away there are another set of of 2 ladies and 2 gents toilets and showers next to the static vans. All of which were basic but very clean.
There is a bar / restaurant across the road and ASDA is a short drive away. For the money you really can't knock this little site if you just want a weekend away.

This is our second visit this year to this park, first time was in March. We have found it to be an excellent site with fantastic staff who couldn't do enough for you and always very accommodating.
It is a small site so booking is recommended. The facilities are basic and not the most modern but very good and very clean and the 20p charge for a 4 minute hot shower is very reasonable, there are 2 toilet / shower blocks on the park one with more facilities than the other.
It is close to Kendal, Morcambe, Arnside and also the Northern Reaches part of the Lancaster canal. For us as canoeists this was a major attraction as the canal is only across the road!
Overall we can highly recommend it its a nice little site in a great area with very friendly laid back staff all in all a perfect weekend away.
