What customers say

Litton Lakes gets a thumbs up for its stunning spot, helpful staff, and roomy sites. The lake's a winner for a dip or paddle, with the cafe and local pub scoring well too. Facilities are mostly tidy, though a few mentioned water pressure woes and dim loos. While most dig the chill vibe, some found it a bit too bustling or loud, especially with bigger crowds. Everyone agrees the toilets and showers could do with a spruce-up.

Liked Great campsite, lovely lake, nice and flat pitches, very friendly and helpful.

Disliked The only thing I found a problem with was the water pressure in the showers, sometimes it literally became a dribble when other people were using the toilet/sinks/other showers etc, this really needs sorting out.

Unpowered grass site

Liked Really lovely spot, lake is beautiful, great coffee on our last morning. Fantastic that you could use firepits and enjoyed the relaxed approach to where you can pitch.

Disliked Lack of mirrors in the new toilet block, and water pressure was a bit disappointing. Also check in by mobile (as cafe was shut) was not very successful and fire pit hire wasn’t an option because it had been locked away 10 mins before the time we had originally been told to come back.

Liked The site, the views. Really flat for a tent and peaceful l. Lovely walks around and plenty of fun to have on the lake.

Disliked The showers and water pressure. This was horrendous, no point trying to have a shower really. We made do with what we could and it never stopped us enjoying the break.

Kids loved it but would say more for 8 or 9 years up. But a great vibe

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.

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).
