What customers say
Litton Lakes gets kudos for its beautiful setting, friendly staff, and roomy sites. The lake is a big draw, great for swimming/paddleboarding. Cafe and pub are hits. Facilities are usually clean, but some noted water pressure issues and dim toilet areas. Many like the chill vibe, though some found it too busy/loud, especially with groups. Updates to restrooms are recommended.

An amazing site which we will definitely be returning to.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked *Friendly staff at check in
*Large pitches
*Beautiful views
*Huge open field for the kids to play
*Amazing paddleboarding/swimming lake which kept our kids entertained for hours
*Clean grounds
*Dog walking field
Disliked *The toilets nearest to the lake weren't very clean and sadly didn't smell great at all. No soap in dispensers on several visits. Yes we could have phoned the warden and reported it, but to be honest we had expected the toilets to have been cleaned regularly and that this would have been sorted.
* Most non electric pitch campsites we've visited recently have a shared fridge and or freezer. This would be a great addition at Litton Lakes.

Beautiful chilled site would go again
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Chill campsite,
Generous pitch size,
Friendly,
Natural,
Sustainable.
Beautiful area and lake.
Disliked FYI - water pressure is low for showers and hand washing. Not a negative, it’s ties in with sustainability and the solar power.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Loved The lake (of course and especially in the peace and quiet early in the morning before 9.30 when the day visitors arrive en masse and after 6 when most have gone home), the darkness and the stars at night, the peaceful countryside surroundings, the easy footpath to the pub, the ecofriendly off grid ethos, kids loved the tractor to climb on, felt safe and child friendly
Disliked The campsite was much bigger and busier than I expected from the website and pitches packed in close, which detracted from the peaceful quiet getaway I was anticipating, felt like at least double the size, there was often a (short) queue for the shower or toilet and the hot water was flaky and intermittent, with no temperature control

Love being there will come again
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Location / cafe / not overcrowded / lots more showers and toilets !
Disliked Needs to sort the water pressure out as sometimes showers didn’t work at all
Recommend to friends Visit again
The campsite was in a lovely location but showers are an issue
Primitive grass campsite
Liked The lake was great. Clean and accessible
Disliked There is an issue with the showers. If anyone else is in any of the showers or toilets/sinks then there is no water in the showers. This meant it was very difficult to have a shower. It was the talk of the campsite. We raised the issue but were just told they didn’t have sufficient water.

Really lovely site, clean facilities, friendly attentive staff
Primitive grass campsite
Liked The site is very clean and well kept, lovely location and the lake is beautiful , we had a lot of fun - thankyou !
If we needed anything staff were available. New toilet block is great. Good site for children- the carpark is between the lake and the campsite so safe for children
Disliked The water pressure for the showers is an issue when there is more than one person using the showers. It also comes through cold at times. So it would be great if this could be improved. After being in the Lake you want a nice hot shower.
Apart from this the showers are clean and spacious and when they work well, are lovely.
