A 10-minute walk to beach, dunes and nature reserve of Dawlish Warren
Seven acres of grassland in a secluded setting

This very friendly site, which has been around since 1974, one of those where the staff do their utmost to make sure guests have the nicest time possible: although this is traditional and uncommercialised camping, standards are modern, including a redeveloped amenities block with showers, toilets, hot water basins, a hairdryer, baby changing unit and an accessible room with shower, toilet and wash basin. Leadstone also has a launderette, playground, washing-up facilities and water points in the pitching fields. For other supplies and nosh, a supermarket is a mile away, and anyone walking the 10 minutes to Dawlish Warren will find a pub serving lunch and evening meals handily placed along the way. It's also possible to walk to the South West Coast Path within 10 minutes or walk/cycle around half a mile to the Exe Cycle Trail or the circular six-mile Dawlish Discovery Walk.

What customers say

This is a very clean and well-maintained campsite with spacious pitches and excellent facilities. Staff are consistently praised for being friendly, helpful and welcoming. Its superb location is a short walk to Dawlish Warren beach, with good public transport links nearby. A food van on-site is a popular addition. Some minor points include a charge for showers and occasionally patchy WiFi.

Jul 2026 Cora W. 1 review

Fox electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch (large)

Liked Toilet and shower block always immaculate. Never had to wait for a vacant shower and 20p is great value for the shower and 5 minutes ample time Spacious and clean washing up room. Level field so great for small tent. Lots of kids all lively and well-behaved. Myriad dog owners and all under control and well-behaved. The bus to Torquay via Dawlish and Teignmouth stopped right outside the entrance and only 10 mins walk to Exeter /Newton Abbot bus. Lidl near the bus stop in Teignmouth and Sainsbury's only a couple of minutes drive from Leadstone and petrol a very good price. Beach a leisurely 10 mins walk away and lovely sea and with plenty of dog-free areas and lots of amusements. Brilliant location for cyclists and walkers.

Disliked Far too hot to be on the campsite during the afternoons. With climate change there should be far more shade available; more trees or hedges essential.

Local attractions

Leadstone Camping's location makes it easy to get to most of Devon's attractions and it's simple to get from the site to wherever takes your fancy. Roads are relatively quiet for most of the year, apart from in high season. A mile away is the Exe estuary – another top local spot and a hit for fishing, hiking, biking and birdwatching – and the town of Dawlish itself is a mile and a half away: look out for the famous black swans. Also nearby is the harbour and two good pubs at Cockwood, two and a half miles away, and golf at Starcross before taking the ferry from here to Exmouth. Shaldon (15 minutes) has another golf course and can be reached by ferry from the busy resort of Teignmouth. For towns, take off to Exminster (20 minutes; more golf), Torquay (40 minutes), Newton Abbot (half an hour; racecourse and ancient market), Exeter (40 minutes) and Paignton (40 minutes; take the steam railway from here to Kingswear and Dartmouth).
