🔥 IMPORTANT UPDATE – FIRE PITS & BBQs

Due to the current very high fire risk across the country and the latest government guidance, we are temporarily banning all fire pits and coal/charcoal BBQs at Litton Lakes until further notice.

This isn't a decision we've taken lightly. We know sitting around the fire is a big part of the camping experience, but with the ground and surrounding countryside so dry, even a small ember can quickly turn into a serious wildfire.

🚫 No fire pits
🚫 No coal or charcoal BBQs
🚫 No open fires

Please do not bring or use them on site, even if they are raised off the ground.

🔥 Gas BBQs are permitted where used safely and responsibly.

We will keep monitoring the situation and will let everyone know as soon as we are able to lift the restriction.

Thank you for helping us protect Litton Lakes, the surrounding countryside and local wildlife. ❤️

Stay safe, and enjoy the lake! 💦

🌞 Weekend Update – Lake Passes Sold Out 🌞

This weekend's lake passes are now completely SOLD OUT (11th-12th July 2026) 💙

That means there will be no lake passes available to purchase in the café on arrival, so please don't make a special journey hoping to buy one.

We know this can be disappointing, but we deliberately limit the number of passes available for each session to keep the lake safe, prevent overcrowding, and make sure everyone has the best possible experience when they're here. 🌿🏊‍♀️☀️

If you're planning a future visit, please check availability and book your lake pass in advance via our website.

Thank you so much for your understanding and for helping us keep Litton Lakes a safe, relaxed and enjoyable place for everyone. 💙
