  • Old-fashioned site with modern facilities
  • A 10-minute walk to beach, dunes and nature reserve of Dawlish Warren
  • Seven acres of grassland in a secluded setting
Old-style camping with new-style facilities, 10 minutes' walk from the Devon coastline and 25 minutes from a 500-acre nature reserve stuffed with species of all sorts… You might want two weeks (at least) at Leadstone Camping in Dawlish Warren, 15 minutes' drive away from Teignmouth and 35 minutes from Torquay. 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 well-kept site offers spacious spots, clean facilities, and a friendly welcome. It's conveniently located within walking distance of the beach and local amenities, with good bus and train links. The on-site cafe is a popular addition. While most guests praise the cleanliness and helpful staff, some note that spots can be sloped and showers (20p) may require waiting during peak times.

Owl powered grass travel trailer campsite (XL)

Liked Walking distance to Dawlish Warren and great location for other areas. The staff were friendly and helpful and the site was clean and looked after. 20p gave you 5 minutes for the shower which was plenty. There was also a cafe on site, which was reasonably priced and popular.

Disliked Very busy but was middle of Summer and is a lovely campsite so can completely understand why.

Owl powered grass travel trailer campsite (XL)

Liked Leadstone was an excellent choice for us being close to Dawlish/Warren, Teignmouth and Shaldon. The staff were friendly and helpful and the site facilities well managed. There was also a cafe on site, which was very handy for a quick bite and the food served was very good quality.

Badger powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite (large)

Liked Lovely site, friendly staff, well located for beach and Dawlish town. Facilities were kept clean and were spacious.
The snack shack was a real bonus; good food and drinks at a reasonable price.

Disliked The majority of campers were unable to use the mops on completion of their showers!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we are so glad you had a great stay with us, we leave a mop and bucket in the hope the showers are left how you would like to find them :)
We hope to see you again soon.

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).
