 If you are looking for somewhere to camp - this is ok. If you are looking for somewhere to camp where there is nothing to do - this is it.
Can't complain much as it is rather cheap. There is one unisex toilet, one unisex shower and one sink - set up for washing dishes.
It could do with a sink that you could wash your hands/face in and also with a light outside the toilet block.
Basically it is a field that people put tents on.
If you are there on a weekend, you can go to the canal and they have free cruises on a Sunday and Bank Holiday Mondays.
It did say no ball games or fires but everyone was playing football or cricket and there were a few fires (raised off the ground)
Overall it was average.

What a lovely site. Things are very basic, i.E. Toilets, showers, and washing up facilities. This is more than made up for in a fab back to basics approach with friendly hosts and no great pressure to leave for 10am! We were even offered free range eggs for sale.
Like most others we tried the Crooklands pub, literally a two minute walk away which was fine for a drink, although a bit pricey for food.
Must recommend The Punch Bowl about three miles along the road when you turn left onto the main road. Food there was great for our party of six, the credit crunch menu at £5 per head was fresh, tasty and generously portioned.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay; booking recommended.

Just had a sunny weekend at Little Acre campsite - very cheap and friendly and an absolutely lovely field for tents. Great location with pub /tea room / canal walks all close by - however it's let down by the facilities.
There is only one toilet and only one separate, poor, cool shower at 20p a time! The sink is separate again and decked out for washing dishes etc - however its the only sink so its used after going to the loo too!
There's plenty of space on the tent field but this was filled to the point of bursting with two caravans ending up on the front garden while we were there!
The Camp and caravan club sign at the entrance could be perceived as misleading as this site is not a member.
There's nothing for children and a sign forbidding ball games - however this was ignored by the other kids.
Summary - handy , cheap, and cheerful but could be a gem with a few more important facilities

We visited Little Acre in April 09, a large group of family and friends with 13 tents, 3 caravans, 2 trailer tents and 1 motor home,and lastly 1 large gazebo.
We were very pleased with the site, nice and clean toilet block, but only 1 toilet and 1 shower, good washing up facilities. The site managers bent over backwards to help us and were very friendly, the weather was warm and sunny and with a small beck and a canal on the doorstep.
We enjoyed lovely walks and the kids loved the beck for paddling, the sea is just 15 minutes away in Arnside. 10 minutes down the road towards Kendal was Asda (24hrs) a Hospital and Leisure Centre. We had a wonderful time and will return.

This a lovely small and friendly caravan site. The owners are extremely friendly and try to accomodate any passing campers-(even during busy Bank Holiday)
Very basic facilities but always clean.
A few children on the site who were playing on bikes and exploring the site.
Lovely pub over the road and nice canal walks as you step out of the site entrance. The Lancaster Canal boat company offer free canal trips every Sunday.
Kendal & Kirkby Lonsdale only 6 miles away. So many things to do whilst staying here.
This is our 3rd year using this site-cheap, cheerful and clean-reluctant to go elsewhere.

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

Just come back from a weekend at Little Acre. We spent the Aug bank holiday there, I organised a camping trip for 8 tent pitches and a tourer, this was booked in Feb with the owner who kindly agreed to take the advance booking. The owners daughter who runs the site thought our tents were too large and made a strong point of it! The entrance to the tent and tourer field has quite a narrow gate so beware if you have a large outfit, the owners were very impatient with my husband and quite rude when he went in slowly putting him under even more pressure. The shower trickled hot water and was inadequate for the number of people on site. They do not cater for children and "no ball games signs everywhere", what do children do all day on a field with space?? I didnt feel welcome at all. On the plus side the sites in a lovely location with free canal boat trips on Sun and bank hol 11am til 4pm, and the Crooklands Hotel is across the road which does nice pub food.

This site isn't a member of caravan and camping club - just a listed site - it's only £12 a night no matter how many of you or what you are in.
I would say it's no more than three minutes from the M6, a good stopover. No shop or shop you can walk to but there is the pub. There's the canal for fishing but nothing much for kids to do - no play area or anything like that. Facilities basic but clean. Showers cost 20p.
Wouldn't spend more than a night as nothing for kids - no bike trails / play park - just the field - I am sure it said no ball games either.

Have been to this site several times during 2006 and find it a well cared for site. Hard standing for tourers with electric hook up. The owner Mr Parker makes you very welcome and is very helpful. I will be returning several times in 2007.

This was my second trip to Little Acre and I love it!
It is very basic, so no good for newbies I fear. The site owner is very welcoming and obliging - no 'must vacate by noon' rules here!
The tenting field is small but has lovely views and the small size means that you are never far from the loo (always a concern of mine!).
The facilities are basic but work fine, although it was a little surreal to step out of the loos at 3am to find a lady standing there in her slippers with a mop and bucket (the housekeeper out of Father Ted springs to mind!)
The Crosslands Hotel across the road is a lovely pub that is all lit up at night. We haven't eaten there but the food certainly looked tempting. You can have a drink outside if the weather is ok - otherwise there is a snug interior waiting to warm you up.

I went looking around the area to find a site for a rally I am booking for the August bank holiday weekend. I found this site by accident, it is only 10 mins away from the M6 so an excellent stop over for visitors to the North. The site is owned by Mr Parker who lives on site in the bungalow. The site is very well cared for, the touring pitches are on hardstanding with electric hook-up, he also has a couple of seasonal tourers. He has a flat tent field which has its own shower/toilet and washing up area, he is in the process of putting a new shower in and it looks like its going to be modern. There is also another toilet/shower block at the other side of the touring field. The site is close to the canal so lots of lovely walks, across the road is a large hotel/pub which does meals. The location is excellent for the Lakes and the seaside,Kirkby Lonsdale and Skipton not too far away. The site is a member of the caravanning & camping friendly club but takes non members too.
