Stayed for the last week in August. Arrived on the Airshow day, very busy on the roads to the site. A good, uncommercial old fashioned camp site. Mainly tents and a few motor homes and caravans. All pitches were grass and the site is pretty sloping. We had a good, level pitch in the corner. Site was full when we arrived, we were expecting it to be busy so no issue with that. The facilities were very busy, queues in the morning, both shower and toilet. Thought that maybe not quite enough facilities for a full site. Though the staff did their best the showers were quite dirty and the floors constantly wet, however the weather was very wet so that didn't help. The water points on site all had the press down taps, bit of pest when filling a large water tank.
Site was clean, well kept and had a very comfortable feel to it.
Dawlish Warren is 10 minutes away on foot, plenty of places to eat and drink. We had dinner in the pub halfway to the Warren, cant remember the name. Good pub, good food and service but not cheap. It was a treat though. The fish and chip shop at the bottom of the hill in the Warren was excellent and not expensive. Didnt try the other take aways but a few deliver to the site. There is a Sainsburys supermarket about a mile from the site.
The area is lovely and lots of places to visit. Teignmouth is a very old fashioned Seaside town, we loved it.
Thank you for your comments. Perhaps I can just clarify a few points?
We usually have around 12 season pitches each year spread across 3 of the 4 main fields. We are well advertised as being in 'a natural secluded bowl' - the main touring field 'Field 1' is the levellest but we have plenty of pitches suitable for touring caravans and motorhomes in all 4.
The pitch in the corner of 'Field 3' (63) that backs onto the Farm Shop is very popular! You can see right across the site from there and in winter when all the leaves have fallen you can see the Exe Estuary!
I was on duty on the evening you (Heanorboy) mention and the Subaru was reported to the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary. I hope it did not detract from your stay and Sarah and I look forward to welcoming you again.
Returned from leadstone site which is very pleasant quite and relaxing, the staff are very helpful, we had the option to select our preferred pitch as the site was not busy. We chose the top corner of the field backing onto the farm shop this really was the only flat pitch that was available on the park a very sloping site more suitable for tents than touring caravans. The main caravan field slightly more flatter appeared to be booked for seasonal units. The site shop was small but had the essentials, bread milk etc and adequate information on local interesting places to visit but there is sainsburys 10mins walk away on the A379. The toilet and shower block are immaculate as are the waste and elsan points, Dawlish warren and Dawlish town are easy walking distance and very nice to visit good food at the ugly duckling restaurant at £6. 50 for a carvery meal and the chip shop on the sea front was also good although expensive. The local bus service stops outside the site and we used this to visit teignmouth and Torquay. I would use this again if I could be allocated the same pitch on request. The only negative point was on the Friday night when the local village idiot arrived in his Subaru and decided it was fun to perform doe nuts in 2 of the fields I did not complain to the owners as this is a open site with no deterrent to discourage trespass. All in all a good holiday
We stayed here over half term as the location and facilities looked good for families. The location is great, half a mile to Dewlish Warren and about 1 mile to Dawlish itself. The facilities were also decent with unisex showers (20p for 5 mins) and gents and ladies wash rooms and toilets.
The playground was basic, but the kids seemed happy enough. The pitches are average sized with a large area in the middle, again, good for kids.
The shop was reasonable and did gas exchange. The staff are friendly too.
The pitches are not very flat, which meant you could all roll into one corner of your tent if you're not careful!
Went camping for the first time here, stayed in a tent with a friend whose an experienced camper. I was apprehensive but after searching for a site thought I'd give it a go. Have stayed in static caravans in dawlish warren for many years, so this was a complete new experience.
Arrived and checking in was quick and friendly, was shown to pitch and told we had choice of three, we picked one in the shade of a hedge with the farm shop behind it. Lovely view of field and rest of campsite and toilet was just a minutes walk away brill. I helped friend put tent up, she found ever peg she put in hit a stone and I don't think my laughing helped ease her frustration. Got tent up, put chairs out that was us sorted.
The staff I met were so friendly, the toilets and showers were clean and tidy, even with constant use by kids with grass covered shoes. This was a lovely quiet site, families seemed to be in separate field to those of us without kids.
My only grumble would be a motor home arrived late into the night and even though I could only see 3 doors on it I think about 20 were opened and closed for about half an hour! Then there was a bit of hammering but as it was a camper don't know what was being hammered. Apart from that incident I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely be going back. But with more blankets for a cold night!

This was a great site. I have stayed in Dawlish Warren as a young child and wanted my step kids to have the same experience. We are 2 adults, 2 kids (11 and 12) and 1 dog.
The site has different size pitches to suit tent sizes. Our tent is quote large and we still had room left. Not completely level but not a problem. There is plenty of open ground on site for children to play without being too close to tents.
Toilet and shower facilities on site were cleaned regularly although due to dewy nights the floors got a bit grassy. Most shower cubicles were unisex which didn’t bother us however they did get a bit busy at times so would have been better with a few more. 20p for showers and hairdryers but there are also 2 plugs in the toilet block suitable for hairdryers.
There were plenty of washing up sinks inside the utility block and also washing machines, dryers and irons.
Reception cabin on site had a small stock of essentials and was a life saver when our gas bottle ran out one evening. Local information is on display and also a book swap facility.
Location of the site was excellent. Dawlish Warren is a 10 minute walk down hill and Dawlish Town is a mile and a half walk along the prom. A leisurely stroll takes about an hour. Sainsburys supermarket is about 5 minutes drive away and there is also a small local supermarket in Dawlish Warren. Once a week there is an open air market in a field just round the corner from the site which sold gifts/clothes/sweets and other market type goods.
The beach at Dawlish was lovely. As we had a dog we had to move up to the 3rd section which was accessible along a sandy path. We did not mind as the first 3 sections of the beach got quite busy. The areas accessible for dogs were always slightly quieter.
All in all we had a fantastic break at Leadstone. As we try different areas each year we would probably not be back soon but if we were to come back to the area then we would definitely stay here again.
Arrived late at night in a mazda bongo, 2 adults 2 kids and a dog, warden showed us to our electric hook up pitch no problems.
Toilet block immaculate, 20p for a hot shower, quite happy with this. Children not around in and around toilet blocks alone - totally agree.
Bit of a hilly walk into Dawlish warren and the beach. Just a small place with a few shops, friendly and welcoming though.
Dogs not allowed on first part of beach, walk a further 15 mins to get to dog friendly beach, walk from site to dog friendly beach about 30 mins if you are reasonably fit (with 2 kids and a dog. ), saw a few tired folks complaining about the distance.
Only drove through Dawlish but looked nice.
Only downside for me - site is completely dead from around 10pm onwards, I like a drink, some music and some banter. None to be had here. Some of the neighbours were up and away at 6am!
Never seen so many sites concentrated in one place plenty choice it seems.
Could do with more for the kids in the way of swings etc, they were pretty bored on site.
Have to take dog to another sites dog walking place - 5 min brisk walk away, not perfect.
All in all I would go back and savour the immaculate toilets and many hooks from which to hang your gear!
Just got back from a week at Leadstone. Had a fab time, this is a very well-run site, beautifully kept, in a lovely location, toilet and shower facilities excellent and always clean (the only improvement in my opinion would be a j-cloth near the wash basins so that campers could dry up after they had used them, after some busy periods they are awash). It's just a short walk to a lovely pub with fantastic views, the beach and shops are further down the hill, as is the station. Good walks to Dawlish and Teignmouth along the coastal path in one direction and to Starr Cross for the ferry to Exmouth in the other, can recommend the Carvery at the Smugglers Inn, on the road to Teignmouth, probably the best I ever had ! There is also an excellent farm shop almost next door to the site, ideal for bbq supplies. Pitches are more than adequate, some slope a little but nothing too drastic, we will be back next year with the rest of the family.
Stayed at Leadstone last week of July/1st week August& wanted to stay another week but pitches were fully booked much to our dismay!
Our group of 2 large tents, 4 adults with two 10 year olds & two 6 year olds all agreed that this was one of the nicest sites we'd stayed at. The small play area was a hit with the 6 year olds, the spacious pitch & room to play was great for the 10 year olds & the cleanliness of the facilities & space was just what the adults wanted. The Farm shop just out of the site on the left hand side was brilliant with the olive oil & balsamic self filling bottles a bonus & well worth a visit.
A tip if you don't fancy cooking 1 evening is to get a pizza from Sainsburys where you can create your own & they will cook it for you!
Will definitely return to this very well run, happy site.
Came to you end July and must say a big thank you for a wonderful stay. Shower block brill and people friendly. Wished we could have stayed longer. Weather was so nice. We have been 6 times now and will be back next year. Pitches are so roomy too. See you all soon (do wish you were open all September though). The farm shop near has a great stock, gluten free goodies too. Beach nearby, only a short walk and bus stop right outside site, very good if you are getting on like us. Nice and quiet site too

We picked this site due to its great reviews and how right they are. The Owners and team are at the top of their game at this site. Perfect spot on the hill with easy walks to Dawlish and Dawlish Warren and further if your up to it. Well laid out site with very good sized pitches with some sea glimpses on the top field. Lots of open sky for sunshine plus good hedgerows to protect from wind rain and welcome shade. Small play park that was well used by kids of all ages. The toilet/shower block is fairly new and perfect condition with 20p slot for a good shower. Laundry and washing up facilities top quality. A basic camp not glamping but very very clean and well kept plus good signage for do's and don'ts so no grey area's of not knowing. All campers are shown to their pitch a nice touch! Bus stops right outside and trains down the hill 10mins walk away with 2 pubs on route. Can't ask for more. We will be back. Thanks
Great site with absolutely spotless and fantastic facilities. The facilities are just 2 years old and well situated in the centre of site. We never had any issues with any queues and the showers provided plenty of hot water and cost less than a pound to get all 4 of us through the shower.
We were positioned half way down the field with the kids playground in which became a very popular place of an evening at the weekend with all the kids on the site - everyone was very friendly and kids had a whale of a time.
Water was available at many points throughout the site, we were positioned right opposite a tap. The pressure was high and there was a knack to filling things without getting soaked. The position of the tap led to many comedy moments and friends made as we watched people learning the knack :)
The pitches were spacious and we managed to get our Vermont XLP, awning and trailer on without any problems. On the weekdays we left the car on the pitch next to us, but at the weekend when it got busy we left it next to the wardens mobile home which was no problem to us.
The site is not far from Dawlish Warren and the beach, it could easily be walked, but on the way home it is all uphill and with tired kids in tow, I would suggest driving down, or sending someone fit up the hill back to site to get the car :)
There is a decent Sainsburys towards Dawlish and a small camping shop just nearby. Although the camping shop was very expensive - we needed a transformer for the coolbox and priced it up at the local camping shop and then at Amazon (which was half the price) - so a quick word with Andrew at the site and we'd ordered the transformer and had it delivered to the campsite. Andrew then came round with it as soon as it arrived with him - really so helpful.
Couldn't fault the site or the staff - all were very friendly and helpful too.
My partner & I spent a week here Friday 12th July 2013 to the 19th & couldn't praise it enough, friendly staff, great toilet & shower facilities, play area for children & only a ten minute walk from a lovely beach with little funfair, ice cream seller, shop, amusements & 3 pubs which sell food just round the corner, a farm shop within yards & also a market in the next field on a Wednesday, we had a lovely time during our stay & would definitely revisit this campsite again if we return to Devon in the future, we left with lots of happy memories & photographs of Dawlish Warren & our campsite & will definitely recommend to others as a place to stay,
Stayed here with 3 tents and asked to be put together. We had 3 pitches along the hedge that runs adjacent to the play park, which was very handy for the younger members of our troop!
Facilities were clean and well kept. The main refuse collection area is away from any campers. Hot water at all times in both the showers and washing areas.
We cannot fault the site, it was a good place to stay and a good base from where to explore the area. We really enjoyed the coastal walk into Dawlish along the sea front next to the railway lines.
Apart from the lousy British weather we really enjoyed our stay here.
I have just returned from this site. I took my 11yr old son, his friend and the family dog. It catered for all our needs.
On arrival we were shown to our pitch, which was on a very slightly sloping field but nothing that caused any difficulties. The site has a traditional feel with each field being surrounded by hedges and crushed stone drive ways.
The children's' playground whilst basic was enough to entertain the boys for 5 nights and seemed to be a magnet for all children. The playground was closed at dusk and this meant the noise did not interfere with our evening.
The toilets and showers, laundrette and washing up areas were amongst the cleanest I have come across, and were in good working order and obviously fairly new. This is the first time I have used a site laundrette and I did think £3 to do a wash was steep, but as I have no comparison this could be the going rate.
We were there bank holiday weekend and there was never a problem with queues for the toilets, the showers however did get busy about half 9 in the morning but I perhaps only had to wait 5 minutes.
The site office is also a small shop just selling milk pop and bacon so will get you through breakfast time but that is about it. I did notice they also sell gas bottles.
The staff were friendly and all in all I am struggling to find anything but good things to say. I would recommend the site to anyone with young family who do not like the more commercial sites with laid on bingo nights.
Dawlish Warren is pretty much a small seaside resort catering towards the families who like arcades and burgers, but as this is very localised and can easily be avoided if you wish.
