Well-maintained peaceful lakeside site on a farm in Litton Cheney
A 15-minute drive to Jurassic Coast beaches; half an hour to Weymouth
Café on site, plus lake for swimming and watersports

Litton Lakes is a family-run Dorset lakeside site with spacious pitches on a working farm in the pretty village of Litton Cheney. The area is something of a walkers’ paradise, with direct access to a network of footpaths and bridleways, and a dog-walking field just next to the site for any four-legged pals that haven’t had enough of a stretch. If you’d rather set out on two wheels you may like to note that National Cycle Route 2 passes the entrance to the site (and it’s suitable for cyclists of all ages and abilities). Back at base after any such outings, guests can get some more activity in by launching their paddleboards or kayaks on the lake, taking a dip in the fresh water or simply settling down to admire the far-reaching countryside views (firepits can be hired and logs are available to buy if you need a bit of warmth to help you dry off after a dip). And if what you really need is some sustenance? The site’s own Purple Turtle Café (open Friday to Sunday) should be your first port of call, for splendid cakes accompanied by cups of tea and freshly brewed coffee by the lake. You’re also welcome to light barbecues for bigger meals, or you might like to take a stroll down to the local pub, five minutes’ walk away. This is a peaceful and family-friendly site that’s particularly attractive for those with an interest in photography as there’s some gorgeous scenery to snap nearby. It’s also in an area of very low light pollution, so stargazing should be on the schedule too if possible.

Bell tent (basic)

Liked: Our third time here, but this time as kids are not babies we booked a bell tent for the weekend. We had a lovely break even if weather was dicey😆. The site is a beautiful place, toilets are well looked after and it’s not too loud or busy in the evening. Lovely for paddle boarding and sitting round a fire in the evening. The bell tent was a luxury as no packing away and was very spacious.

Liked: I loved how serine and calm the site was, beautiful sunrise views above the hills, and the lake at that time of the morning was just divine!! The wild geese on the lake were brilliant to observe, the gorgeous scandi style cafe over the lake was a huge plus! Such a humbling spit you have! I left with my cup feeling full! Clean toilets and showers too!

Liked: We love this little site. This was our third visit and it didn’t disappoint. So peaceful and tranquil. Our son spent hours out on the lake paddleboarding, catching tadpoles and making new friends, whilst we enjoyed a drink from the lovely little cafe on site.

Disliked: Nothing!

Local attractions

Need a tipple to top off your evening by the lake? Take a 10-minute walk along to the village’s very own vineyard, Bride Valley Vineyard, for tours, tastings and a bottle or two to sip while the sun goes down. (If you’re more of a beer drinker, you’ll need to take the 15-minute drive to Palmers Brewery, which also runs excellent tours.) Time for the beach? Take your pick from the scenic offerings of West Bay and Burton Bradstock (both 15 minutes’ drive) and the 18-mile shingle stretch at Chesil Beach (half an hour), or head off to Weymouth (half an hour) to see the Sandworld sand sculptures and ogle the underwater beasts at the Sea Life Centre. Away from the coast, top days out might take you to Abbotsbury Swannery and gardens (20 minutes) or to explore the Teddy Bear Museum, Dinosaur Museum and Maiden Castle Iron Age fort in Dorchester (half an hour).
