What customers say
This is a consistently well-regarded campsite, praised for its exceptional cleanliness and friendly, helpful staff. Guests highlight spacious pitches, excellent facilities including a dog wash, and a great location within easy walking distance of Dawlish Warren, shops, pubs, and the train station. The on-site food van is a popular bonus. Minor points include the 20p charge for showers (seen as reasonable by most), occasional Wi-Fi weakness, and some pitches having a slope. Manager replies indicate improvements are ongoing.

Gem of a campsite with great facilities
Fox electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch (large)
Liked Fabulous campsite. We only stayed one night but wished it was longer.
We got a nice welcome at 5pm on a Sunday and were lucky enough to be able to get food at the marvellous Amanda’s food van at 7.30pm.
Site has fantastic, clean toilet blocks and good showers.
We’ll be back!
Disliked Nothing! Great place.

A bonus to have an on-site shop and a catering van selling breakfast, cakes, drinks, ice cream, chips etc.

Owl electric grass touring pitch (XL)
Liked Great clean site, friendly helpful staff. Requests made were full field even at a short notice booking.
Amanda's food truck was a great addition, especially as arrived late in evening so we're able to have something hot and ready.
Whippy ice-cream on the next day as was a beautiful day and had walked from Dawlish.
Facilities were basic and probably not enough for some kids/ age groups. But with our kids we used to play ball games, puzzles, etc
Short walk to pub, dawlish Warren. Over a mile to dawlish.
Bus stop right outside site.
Seemed dog friendly everywhere.
Can't comment on WiFi as kept forgetting to ask for code.
Will return again.
Disliked Can't think of anything, aah other than including wifi code on info given of site on arrival.
