Site in great position.Very clean facililities. Cheerful helpful staff
Badger electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch (large)
Liked We stayed here 2 months ago in low season, at the time I wondered how well the shower/ toilet facilities would cope when the site was full. I needn't have worried, all were always clean and well maintaned and the water was always very hot, good for washing up and showers. The staff are always helpful and cheerful.
Amanda's 'cafe' on site was great for coffee ice creams and breakfast or early evening food. Leadstone is in an excellent position for walking to Dawlish or Dawlish Warren and there are hourly buses stopping right outside the site for trips farther afield.
Disliked Only problem was paid £20 for a weeks site wifi, but it often failed and at times there was no g4 or g5 either

Badger electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch (large)
Liked We have been to this campsite 7 times now over the last 10 years and I have never been disappointed. The facilities are very clean and staff are very friendly. There is also an hot food trailer and shop in reception. There is also a play park for the kids. The beach is in walking distance down a hill.
Disliked Hedging along every pitches would make it more private, but we use wind breaks for this at the moment.
