What customers say

Litton Lakes gets a thumbs up for its gorgeous spot, ripper staff, and roomy sites. The lake's a real winner for a dip or paddle, with the cafe and local pub also a hit. Facilities are mostly clean, though some reckon the water pressure's a bit dodgy and the loos need more lights. While most love the chill vibe, a few found it a bit chockers or noisy with big crowds. A tidy-up of the dunny and shower blocks would go down a treat.

Geri O.

Unpowered grass site

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.

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.

Tamsin R.

Unpowered grass site

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

Unpowered grass site

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.

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.

Local attractions

Need a tipple to top off your evening by the lake? Take a 10-minute walk along to the village’s very own vineyard, Bride Valley Vineyard, for tours, tastings and a bottle or two to sip while the sun goes down. (If you’re more of a beer drinker, you’ll need to take the 15-minute drive to Palmers Brewery, which also runs excellent tours.) Time for the beach? Take your pick from the scenic offerings of West Bay and Burton Bradstock (both 15 minutes’ drive) and the 18-mile shingle stretch at Chesil Beach (half an hour), or head off to Weymouth (half an hour) to see the Sandworld sand sculptures and ogle the underwater beasts at the Sea Life Centre. Away from the coast, top days out might take you to Abbotsbury Swannery and gardens (20 minutes) or to explore the Teddy Bear Museum, Dinosaur Museum and Maiden Castle Iron Age fort in Dorchester (half an hour).
