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.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
A beautiful campsite with clean facilities, level pitches and lake.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Great pitches, all close to the showers, toilets and lake which were clean and well maintained. We went as a group of 3 families and were pitched next to each other. The lake was a highlight and having a cafe on site was perfect. We enjoyed early morning swims which were tranquil on the lake. Lovely local walks and a place to let the dog off the lead which was welcomed. A choice of pubs to walk to as well- food and service at the White Horse was fantastic. If you forget a life jacket for your child, you can hire these on site.
Disliked You need to bring your own boards for the lake- I was aware of a couple of families who wanted to hire on site and this wasn't possible.

We had a great time just just make sure you shower early ;)
Primitive grass campsite
Liked The lake was a massive hit with the kids :)
Good size pitches and friendly people and staff.
Disliked When we booked the playing field which is shown on the picture was now an area for campers which meant the campsite facilities couldn’t really cope. No hot water for a 2 min shower, no hot water to wash up, and at times no water at all which was a bit frustrating when you had bubbles in your hair!

Good location with a safe for children. Better maintenance required.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Nice location with a great pub just a short walk away. Good meals at sensible prices.
Great place for youngsters learning to paddleboard, family friendly.
Disliked New shower and toilet block, unfortunately probably cost alot to do, but badly designed with a very poor water supply. Not very well maintained or cleaned. The warden put it down to the number of people on the site.
Not a very helpful answer, more effort from the warden and staff required would be our observation, especially for £74 for 2 nights non electric pitches.

Level pitches, friendly staff and nicely situated.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked The upgrade to the ablutions was very welcome. Also Sarah was very friendly and helpful. The lake as always was lovely and the new launching areas a vast improvement making it safer and more user friendly. Much easier to get into the lake whether swimming or paddling.
Disliked There was not always hot water and the pressure at times was very weak.

Really good relaxing family campsite.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Lovely relaxed atmosphere at Litton Lakes. Is it small enough to not feel crowded but large enough to have plenty of space for pitches, dog walks, playing field, good facilities etc. A really good balance for a relaxing family camp.
The lake is the main attraction of course and the kids spent hours on it.
Nice toilet/shower/wash up facilities too.
Disliked The cafe could stay open a little longer or open a little earlier. But not a big deal.
