What customers say
Litton Lakes is a peaceful countryside getaway with a beautiful lake, great for swimming and paddleboarding. Visitors loved the friendly staff, roomy sites, and clean facilities, especially the new shower block. A nearby pub and chill vibe are big pluses. A few minor shower pressure and noise complaints, but overall, guests loved it and want to come back.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked The fresh water stream with stunning dragon flies. The kids & 2 adults enjoyed the lake, whilst the other adults enjoyed the peace & sun. The kids play area & ball games field.
Disliked This campsite is definitely a money orientated run place. It was absolutely rammed, with no room between other campers. Not enough showers/toilets for the amount of campers on site.

Brilliant campsite. Highly recommend
Anonymous Primitive grass campsite
Liked The lake is wonderful - perfect for families for paddle boards and swimming. The site is spotlessly clean and well staffed with lovely helpful people. The new sauna is brilliant and well worth the £16 for an hour’s treat. The dog walking areas are perfect.
Disliked A couple more toilets and showers near the lake would be good. Please the toilets have proper lighting? The little lights aren’t strong enough or didn’t work. Also sinks for brushing teeth that aren’t in the washing up area would be good!
There is one ladder into the lake for sauna users only. Better access - steps with hand rails or ladders at other jetties would be so helpful for those
With more limited mobility. The jetty/slipway is crazy slippery and the other access points are exceedingly muddy or jetties you need to pull yourself up out of.

Lovely site
Anonymous Primitive grass campsite
Liked Lovely flat pitches
The lake is awesome
Very relaxed site
Disliked The shower heads could do with an upgrade - the water sprays out at all angles. It also goes from boiling hot to lukewarm during the shower.
Would love if the cafe opened earlier and they did pizzas in the evening on Fridays and Saturdays!

Perfect lakeside camping for families
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Lovely vibe on the campsite! The lake was perfect to practice paddleboarding in a safe environment and great for kids to have fun in too.
Disliked Maybe a bit more of a shop on site? Staff in the cafe were great though and able to dig out some sun cream when we lost ours somehow...

Anonymous Primitive grass campsite
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.

Disliked The only thing needed is ice pack freezing

Really enjoyed our three days
Primitive grass campsite
Liked The lake - the farmer - the ambiance.
Disliked Thought more thought should be put how to keep loos and showers clean - more basins - trough difficult for cleaning teeth. A basin in the loos + a mirror.

Excellent location. Friendly.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Space. Clean loos and showers. Friendly staff. Not too busy.
Disliked Opening hours of cafe - maybe we were unlucky - but it seemed to close early and it was shut in 2 days.
