What customers say
This well-maintained, peaceful campsite is set in beautiful countryside and features a popular lake for swimming and paddleboarding. Guests praise the spacious, level pitches, clean facilities, and friendly, helpful staff. The on-site cafe and nearby pub are also highlighted. While generally praised for its relaxed atmosphere, some visitors noted occasional queues for facilities during busy periods. It's a highly recommended spot for families and dog owners.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Good location with a safe for children. Better maintenance required.
Non-electric grass pitch
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.
Non-electric grass pitch
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.
Non-electric grass pitch
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.

Staff were friendly.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The set up, the lake and the beautiful views.
If all the facilities were in working order and the camp rules set out when booking were adhered to it would be near perfect. We would definitely come again.
Disliked There is a beautiful new abultion block but unfortunately there was no hot water or any water pressure which was very disappointing. We had cold showers with dripping water. There were also taps that were running continuously.The curfew of no noise after 9:30 was not enforced and we had children running around and shouting until after midnight.

Great stay with group of friends and children.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Nice small site with cafe and lake. Plenty of space for children to ride bikes around and large play field for football, rounders.
Disliked Showers didn’t have huge amount of pressure (especially when lots running at same time or people washing up), but clean and warm. Could do with bench/more hooks for clothes etc.

Non-electric grass pitch

Definitely coming back next year!
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Amazing site. The lake was brilliant for swimming and paddleboarding and perfect to allow the kids a bit of freedom on the boards.
Site was fully booked, but still felt we had plenty of space. Never queued for shower/toilet. Facilities were clean and spacious.
Disliked No mirrors! (Only a very minor thing!)
