General
- Peaceful site set over 10 acres on the edge of an estuary village
- Near the sands and nature reserve of Dawlish Warren beach
- Fishing lake, level pitches and pub serving food half a mile away
No need to hunt for a tiny and peaceful Devon destination: here's teeny Hunters Lodge Caravan and Camping Site on the edge of the estuary village of Starcross, near the sands and nature reserve of Dawlish Warren beach.
Although it's listed as a tiny site with less than 10 pitches, it's over 10 acres of grounds so you could almost pretend to be surveying your own kingdom all the time when here. Once you're ready to go off exploring, public transport is close to hand for those who don't want to drive: the site is half a mile from Starcross Rail Station and coach stop and 15 minutes’ walk from the site to the Starcross passenger ferry to Exmouth.
Take the fishing rod and stride off to Hunters Lodge's own coarse fishing lake to see what you might land, or bring the dog for a wander around the 10 acres: pooches are welcome at Hunters Lodge all year round. Still fancy some fishing? There's a coarse fishery at nearby Exminster.
The level grass pitches at this friendly site come with excellent amenities including recycling and chemical disposal, drying facilities, shower block and washroom. For food, there are 28 ways of serving the River Exe mussels on offer at the Anchor pub half a mile down the road – better book for 28 days then…
Open from 06/01/2018 to 21/12/2018

Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you’re a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children in one booking.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled ‘Please note’.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

Catch the passenger ferry to Exmouth to see its seafront and the famed16-sided house A La Ronde, then head further inland to Devon’s county town Exeter, home of Exeter Castle and the stunning Exeter Cathedral.
Old buildings and castles are all around the area: 12th-century Powderham Castle lies just north of Starcross at the village of Kenton and there are more National Trust properties in Devon than anywhere else in the country. Topsham Museum, with period rooms, info on maritime history and exhibitions on local wildlife, is housed in 17th-century buildings overlooking the Exe Estuary.
The acclaimed beach of Dawlish Warren is almost on the doorstep for fairground rides, summer events and old seafront standby Punch and Judy. From here it’s a scenic stroll to the Dawlish Warren nature reserve on the mouth of the Exe Estuary, with visitor centre and free admission.
Taking the bikes along to Devon? The National Cycle Network Exe Estuary Trail goes from Dawlish to Exmouth and there’s more cycling through the woods at Haldon Forest Park, with a bike hire shop there if you’re not bringing your own wheels.
