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

Liked The surrounding countryside, the tranquility, the cleanliness, friendliness of all the staff, the super clean facilities and the proximity to the beach.

Disliked Most of the pitches are not level, so remember to bring your ramps. Apart from that, nothing else!

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

Liked Great location and easy to find. Layout of site was good with good sized pitches with water and hook ups close to each pitch. Very friendly and helpful staff. Showers and toilets were very clean and well maintained.

Disliked There are a lot of signs in the facilities block with many rules. I appreciate that some people abuse the facilities but it comes across as negative and unwelcoming.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, We are glad you enjoyed your stay, We did run the park with only a few signs but unfortunately we had to put them back up again as when we are very busy we need to ensure that everyone has a good holiday :)
We hope to see you again in the future.

Owl electric grass touring pitch (XL)

Liked Everything! The location was great, 10 minute walk to the beach and fish and chips the sea is lovely and clean and perfect for swimming! Also 2 minute walk to forest fungi, which we would 100% recommend going to for some breakkie! Pitch was lovely, electric hook up and drinking water all next to each other which is so useful! There is a motorhome service point so when leaving we could easily drive over and empty grey water and clean water tanks. Such a quiet campsite, slept really well here! Very dog friendly. The toilet and shower block were great, very clean and new! Completely understand the decision to have a meter for the water as it does get busy and means that some people dont spend ages in the shower! 20p for 5 mins is plenty, also if you dont have change you can get some from reception. Last minute booking and we will definitely be back!

Disliked That we only stayed 2 nights!

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. Dawlish Warren is a top place to be in Devon, partly for its safe, clean beach and partly for its sand dunes leading onto 500-acre Dawlish Warren Nature Reserve, a hugely popular spot with birdwatchers and botanists. On foot, walk to the Warren (it's a safe stroll and suitable for prams) or to the South West Coast Path within 15 minutes; it's also half a mile to the Exe Cycle Trail or the circular six-mile Dawlish Discovery Walk. 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, seven miles away, has another golf course and can be reached by ferry from the busy resort of Teignmouth. For towns, take off to Exminster (nine miles; more golf), Torquay (10 miles), Newton Abbot (11 miles; racecourse and ancient market), Exeter (13 miles) and Paignton (13 miles; take the steam railway from here to Kingswear and Dartmouth).
