Litton Lakes

Aimé 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

Non aimé 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

Aimé Everything about this site, bar the showers (see ‘disliked’). We visited on August Bank Holiday weekend - Probably one of the busiest times of the year. The site was clean, the toilets were replenished regularly, the grounds were maintained to perfection. I’ll definitely visit again. The lake was crystal clear, and plenty big enough for all the guests to freely enjoy. There is a HUGE dog walking field, and a pub just a few minutes walk away. The pitches are nice and level, the on site wardens are friendly. Fire pits are available for hire (I would recommend- They are fantastic), but take your own logs, kindling and fire lighters (the site do sell these, but naturally they are a little over priced). There is no WiFi on site but I had no issues whatsoever getting hood reception on my phone. Also there is lots of opportunity to pitch and spend time either in the sun or in the shade of the trees - This made it comfortable over a hot weekend.

Non aimé The showers - These are solar heated so morning showers are very cold, and when the water has warmed up and a few people are showing at a time, the water is less than a trickle. I ended up washing with warm water in my tent, as it really was not feasible to use the showers provided. This really does need to be improved to make it fully 5 star site (or a full 10 star review). But don’t let this put you off staying (as I said - I will visit again), but make provisions (I plan to take my own solar shower next time). On a final note (if your being really picky), the cafe has limited opening hours - This seems like such a missed opportunity (perhaps it is linked to their licensing?). But if the cafe could cater to more demand, have longer opening hours and provide a fuller menu I think it would really compliment the site.

Aimé Our 4th stay here. Loved the lake and the quiet camp site. Briliant for families and groups.

Non aimé New shower block was a welcome improvement but the water pressure needs looking as at times was awful. If you timed it right though the showers were great.

Aimé Lake. Campsite overall. Host. quietness.

Non aimé Facilities are new but no hand dryers in any form. No option to put something next to sink (e.g. toothpaste). No warm water and closed cafe during our stay due to technical problems. Value for money ration wasn't that good overall.

Aimé The campsite is lovely, small, clean and chilled out. We were able to camp as a group around our fire pit, which is always nice. Everything was easy. Lake was great fun.

Non aimé The water pressure in the showers made them virtually unusable. The reason was explained to us and we understand they'll be changes made for next year. We still had a great stay and the new shower block looks great.

Aimé Pretty much everything 🙂 The lake being the star of the show. Kids absolutely loved it and so did we. An amazing hidden gem. We honestly cant wait to come back.

Non aimé Prices in the cafe very steep! But aside from that we have no complaints.

Aimé Lake is a great part of the site which the children loved. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Non aimé Hot water and water pressure was an issue, depended the time of the day you wanted to shower

Aimé This site is small and well run. We found the facilities good and well kept. The lakeside position makes it special. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The on-site cafe is nicely positioned with views across the lake.

Aimé We love Litton lakes, we’ve visited lots with day passes but this was our first camping stay.

Easy to check in, the new toilet block is smart and a welcome addition.

The new jetty and edging to the lake is really smart.

Non aimé The cafe prices are I the expensive side with a limited menu. Coffee isn’t great either.

Lots of the taps didn’t work in the new toilet block. I think at one point only 2 taps out of 6 worked.

The jetty needs some bone slip gripping on it, we watched numerous children hit the deck very hard, including one child smacking their head. Please supervise your children in this as it gets so slippery.

A couple of noises campers.
