Liked: Everything, we booked the night before and for that much sort notice price was more than reasonable. It was great we hired a paddle board for the beautiful lake, walked around the grounds and had a nice calm nights sleep. Really lovely hot showers and clean toilets was so perfect.
Disliked: We didn’t get to use the cafe as was shut on our visit
Recommend to friends Visit again
Great campsite but showers and toilets were a let down.

Liked: Camping pitches were spacious. Lake was great for swimming.
Disliked: Only 2 showers and 3 toilets for total campsite. Both didn't appear to be cleaned regularly. Ran out of loo rolls in one. This was a mid week booking.

Liked: I liked the location of Litton Lakes the lake it self was stunning along with the huge dog exercising area and the pub just a 5 minute walk away.
Disliked: I disliked the showers as they never had hot water, infested with flies the toilets were at best disgusting toilet paper all over the floor the lack of toilet paper no soap for hand washing also infested with flies and the washing up area was plagued with litter despite texting the warden with my issues nothing was done about it the price I feel was very expensive at 22 pounds a night for the quality of site & 20 pound for a fire pit Litton Lakes was not worth the money

Liked: The Purple Turtle cafe was really lovely, as were the staff. The Milkshakes went down a storm - we had Oreo and Crunchie. And the coffee was very nice. The lake was great and we spent the day paddleboarding and swimming. And it was a good touch to have wood, meat and eggs offered by staff driving around the site. Great for the kids to have the extra field to play ball in away from the tents. And lovely walk to the pub!
Disliked: Could definitely do with expanding the facilities by adding another couple of toilets and showers

Liked: Beautiful site situated amongst fields and trees and of course right next to the lake. Pitch size was ample, level and very relaxed about where and how you set up. Playing field for kids, very safe, paddle boards and kayak left out overnight. Lake was great fun deep in places so life jackets essential for young children. Plenty of launching areas and picnic tables to put your stuff. Nice walks from site and a pub in walking distance. Cafe on site, closes at 3. You can hire fire pits and logs from the site at a reasonable rate. No Wi-Fi but 4G was fine.
Disliked: Didn’t really dislike anything, however, they could do with more toilets and showers in a purpose built block. What was there was clean and perfectly usable.
