Anonymous Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Great relaxed feel campsite, great local places to eat just a short walk away. Lake was amazing fun, playing in nature. Wide range of nature we saw frogs, tawny owls, house martins, greater spotted woodpecker, deer, dragons fly's.
Disliked The cafe was open when we finish putting up tents. We hadn't had lunch. But the cafe had run out of ingredients for toastie and only options left was cake. It seemed to be missing an opportunity for more menu choice.
New shower block great facilities. Although a few shower heads seemed to go splade out direction put not enough water in a down direction to shampoo long thick hair.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Helpful staff, relaxed atmosphere, well kept site. Such a treat to have lake on site where you can swim. No WiFi but 4G great (we watched a match on our phone!). Nice pub 5 min away.
Disliked Water not always hot for washing up/showers but they are using solar heating so I am happy with the compromise.

Anonymous Non-electric grass pitch
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!)

Great place for a relaxing, family trip
Anonymous Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Great place with so much to do! Plenty of space for the kids to run around, football pitch, playground and a lake for water sports. I realy liked the cafe too.
Good location - just 10 mins drive to beautiful Hive Beach.
Disliked Showers- in the late afternoon /early evening we had no pressure and the water was ice cold. There was a note saying it's better to shower earlier, but some people like to spend their day actively and don't have whole day to catch warm water....

Bell tent (basic)
Liked Beautiful lake, really nice to be able to rent a paddleboard and the sauna looked lovely. The toilet blocks and washing up blocks were good.
Disliked Felt very expensive for just the bell tent with nothing in it - I would also note that it was pitched right in the middle of the field with no shelter or shade, so it didn’t feel like a good pitch. We felt very exposed. The regular tent pitches were better with some trees/hedges. Unfortunately had to leave a day early because of of young kids + no shade.
