Lovely quiet site with sea views in a good location. Would return.
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Location was great, facilities clean, Trattoria restaurant lovely, very convenient for buses to Dartmouth / Torcross etc
Disliked Nothing particularly, end of season so ground was a little soft. You will need levelling ramps but we struggled a bit with the wooden ones on site as the soft ground meant we needed to be careful they didn’t touch the underside of the van as we drove on/off

Excellent
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked The tidyness of the facilities, the maintenance of the parc, the food at Trattoria Spaggia, excellent
Disliked the view on the Sea is blocked by the many mobile homes/ caravans. Also the quietness is disturbed by some heat pump noise…

The scenery, location and staff exceptionally…
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked The scenery, location and staff exceptionally friendly. Had a great experience at the Italian restaurant too! Definitely recommend for a meal.
Disliked The tent pitches are on a slope, so spent much of the night having to shuffle back up the beds.
The village church bells also go on the hour and every half an hour… including throughout the night. Not great unless you can get to sleep easily!

Extremely nice campsite absolutely stunning views fab Thai Food
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked We love this campsite albeit our 6th time of studying over the past few years and this was by far the busiest but tents were all fab but parking was chaotic!
Disliked The amount of cars parked..literally everywhere and every piece of spare land was parked upon so when we returned on saturday eve after being out for the eve there was literally nowhere to park around and around we drove and had to squeeze in a tiny spot in the side of the road/driveway!

Beautiful views and lovely area, but wouldn’t camp here again
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked Views, facilities and friendly people
Disliked Sounds of road and car passing the camping pitches, pitches close to rubbish area that you could smell rubbish when outside your tent which was a real shame.

Avoid this site if you are in a camper/caravan or tent.
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Absolutely nothing
Disliked This campsite was a complete letdown and absolutely nothing like the “luxury camping” it claims to be. The ground is so sloped and uneven that parking and sleeping in a camper van was a nightmare. Totally uncomfortable and not fit for purpose.
The toilets were a portable block and located up an, uneven slope that was unsafe and ridiculous to walk to, especially at night.
The advertising is completely misleading and I was not the only one who felt this way. We were even given a pitch due to another camper leaving early, now I understand why. There is nothing good about this place at all. It felt neglected, run down, and a waste of money. Avoid if you’re looking for a proper camping experience.
I contacted the site but of course no response.

From the manager: Hi Tina,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’ve checked our correspondence and can confirm we’ve not received any contact from you prior to your review. We always respond to complaints and would have welcomed the opportunity to resolve your concerns during your stay, so it’s disappointing that this wasn’t raised with us at the time.
Our site is located in an AONB and the natural hillside can create some uneven ground. We provide chocks for guests who may need assistance and our team is always available day or night to help ensure you’re comfortable.
If there is any part of Pitchup’s listing that you feel is misleading, please let us know so we can review it and make corrections where necessary.
We’re a small business, and while we appreciate constructive feedback, we ask that comments remain fair and respectful. Our team work very hard to maintain the grounds and facilities. If you have any further concerns or suggestions, feel free to contact us.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Would definitely return - great spot for beaches and coastal walks.
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked Location, sea views, very clean facilities, amazing pizza from the Italian on site and friendly and helpful staff.
Disliked (Though this isn’t controlled by Leonard’s Cove but FYI for light sleepers) the church bells ringing at least every hour throughout the night. Not a mega issue but suggest light sleepers bring ear plugs.
