Liked Great facilities and hosts! First time at Litton Lakes and first time camping and couldn't have really asked for more. Only stayed 2 nights but already discussing when we can come back again.
Great cafe options for breakfast, beautiful lake to swim and paddle board, clean and tidy facilities and lovely short walk to the pub near by (that did an incredible Sunday Roast!)

Anonymous Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Our second visit here and it was even better than last time! It's a relaxed and friendly site, great for family groups. The new toilet and shower block is a big improvement and we had plenty of warm water. We enjoyed using the lake and the new jetties were great.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Friendly staff, great atmosphere.
I had plenty of space to choose a pitch. I like the space between pitches. Everybody kept to their own space.
The locstion and view were perfect
Disliked The tea room was closed on 2of my 3 days there.
The showers had hooks that were too small to hang clothes on so towel kept falling on the floor.The main shower:toilet block had no.mirrors so shaving was an issue.no sest or place to put clothes on while showering

Lovely campsite with a lake that really elevates the site.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Solar powered shower block with resident swallows!
Heavenly lake with lots of shady areas to cool down in the heatwave.
Peace and quiet.
Landscape was wonderful.
Footpath to local pub.
Cafe on site
Disliked Portacabin amenities were more private, but not as nice to use.
It will get better with age, but hedges didn't provide much shelter from the wind currently.
Could do with more shadier spots.
