Liked: Location is so picturesque, with streams and brooks close by, the onsite lake and cafe are excellent bonus.
A lovely local pub within 10 minutes walk.
Disliked: Just one minor dislike, the toilets and showers although newly built have N open feel so can feel draughty and cold. Water temperature is a little inconsistent in the showers and the could do with a seat to get shoes and socks on with more ease. It definitely wasn’t a deal breaker though for us.

Liked: We met up with few friends - a mixture of VWs and Tents as well as our motorhome. Sarah made us feel very welcome and was able to put us all in an area together. The toilets and showers were brand new and great. Loved the lake - we swam and / or paddle boarded every day between us. Great area for walks - we wandered over to Modbury farm shop on one of the days. We also enjoyed the cafe on site and had a lovely seafood lunch next door as well (Rachel’s). We didn’t go to the pub but it’s literally the other side of the field so very convenient. Very dog friendly site and area.
Disliked: Although some of us did walk to the bus stop and then head into West Bay / Bridport, it’s a long way (40 mins to get to a bus that goes every other hour pretty much). Great if you have time and the weather is on your side. Those with younger children would need a vehicle to get to beach or any local town / tourist spot. Even a bike might be tricky on the busier coastal roads. It suited us for a short visit - and this is literally the only downside we felt worth mentioning for others to consider.

Liked: We had a fantastic stay at Litton lakes. The site is lovely. We took advantage of paddle boarding and swimming in the lake as well as the lovely food available in the on site cafe/restaurant.
High standard and very clean facilities and close to lots of attractions and places of natural beauty.
Would definitely recommend it to family groups visiting Dorset.

Liked: The lake was stunning, water sports available, and with a gorgeous cafe. We could use our own fire pit or rent one, and the toilet, shower and washing up facilities were fab. Check in was smooth and the place had a lovely atmosphere

Liked: Beautiful campsite set on a perfect little lake. We brought our paddle boards and kayak with us (but you could hire). The lake was big enough to play on but small enough to be safe for the kids.
Staff were all so friendly and helpful…before arriving and on site.
Campfires to hire (or use your own).
Lake side cafe serving food and drink.
Very clean and new looking shower block, toilets and washing up sinks. Bins by the cafe area but no bin by the back shower block/washing up area (could be useful?)
Spacious pitches close to the lake. Perfect for couples or families with kids.
Wonderful little pub less than 10 mins walk along the stream out the back of the campsite.
Will definitely be back!!
Disliked: Nothing! Just a shame cafe wasn’t open a bit later!

Liked: Lovely site, my grandchildren had a fabulous time on the lake with their paddle boards, kayaks and wild swimming! Owners/wardens very welcoming. Looking forward to returning 😃.
Disliked: Didn’t always get hot water in the new shower block and no where to dry your hands after washing them at sinks in the toilet block ☹️

Liked: This campsite is a real gem. We’re a large family and found it affordable especially considering you get full use of the lake to swim and paddle board included. The new shower and toilet block is really nice, well equipped and clean. Highly recommend. The kids are already asking when we can come back.
