A very family friendly campsite (our boys were off making new friends as soon as we opened the car doors, and we hardly saw them when we were there, they were too busy in the play area). Great to find a site that doesn't have 'entertainment', arcades etc.
The campsite is very clean and tidy, well maintained. Pitches are a good size, but it's worth asking for a flat pitch although none are on much of a slope. The facilities are basic but cleaned regularly, some queues for showers/loos at peak times though we personally didn't have much trouble. 20p per shower gives a good length of time.
10 minute walk to Dawlish Warren and the walk back up isn't bad at all, bit of a hill but easily achievable. Walking the sea wall to Dawlish is lovely too. Be warned - the bus from Dawlish back to the campsite is really expensive, we paid less for the 4 of us to go to Teignmouth and back on the train!
All in all for a first family camping holiday it was great, and we'd definitely go back.
Tent pitches were all very well laid out and clearly marked. Enough space to park your car next to your tent too. Slightly sloped pitch (which massively helped with one day of rain!) with very good drainage. Large pitch, very helpful staff who showed us to our pitch.
The staff patrolled at night with strict noise control after 11pm which was wonderful. Any noise afterwards was nipped in the bud.
For a few days away with my partner it was wonderful. The site seemed very family friendly. Everything is within close walking distance however at certain times of the day there can be slight queues (5-10mins) for showers and sometimes toilets but nothing a little planning cant sort!
Washing up facilities, showers and toilet areas were all very clean and well maintained.
We were sorry to go home! Fantastic relaxing break! We would definitely return here
Nice friendly family site, though our pitch was on a slope which made sleeping a little difficult.
Kids liked the play park which could be seen from the tent. Could do with the tents having space between to park a vehicle as all the cars ended up in front of the tents.
Pleasant walk to the Beach. Wi-Fi was a bonus (though not cheap) Shop stock very limited, no sweets for the kids ! The new Sainsburys 5 mins away was a great bonus.
Showers and toilets were OK, hope the new block in 2012 has a greater number to prevent queues forming.
We are a family of 4 and we stay in dawlish every year. However this year was a first for us as we are usually there quite early in the year and so we don't camp. This time we decided to go during the main holiday and take the tent.
We arrived just after lunch at Leadstone and were shown to our pitch by the warden. Pitch was level and large enough for our big tent, a smaller tent (youngest son too cool to sleep in our tent. )a huge wind break and our large car.
We didn't need EHU, but it was still available to us as most of the pitches seemed to be close to the hookups.
The kids soon scooted off to the playpark which was ace for them. No need to worry about noise from it as it is closed at dusk by the warden. Site is pretty quiet by 10pm and silent by 11pm. This seems largely due to it being a family site, so the kids are ready for bed by then, but also due to the warden having quiet words where needed.
Plenty of loos and showers. Usual queues at peak times, but nothing too bad. Facilities are clean. I even saw them being cleaned at 11pm one night! Take plenty of 20ps for the showers! though having said that, 20p gives a shower that's long enough for a good wash.
Not really any road noise at night and its a fairly short walk to Dawlish Warren with plenty to do for the kids and some great pubs with reasonably priced food.
Its useful to know that there are steps at the back of the Mount pub that take you up and down the hill a little quicker than following the road.
Not too far to Dawlish town either. Plenty of walking to justify eating all the pasties that we always manage to cram in. Don't forget Gays creamery in Dawlish for lunch. Brave the queues, you wont be sorry!
For the older kids, there's also a skate/scooter park 5 mins away just off the Exeter road. Look for the signs for the leisure centre and you will soon find it.
There is a laundry room with sockets for your straighteners girls! and hairdryers! also plenty of room for standing and gossiping.
The washers are £2. 00 for a wash and dryers are £3. 00. Plenty of magazines have been left by previous people on washer vigil for you to read whilst waiting!
The reception is very well stocked. A real tardis, not overpriced. If you're really stuck, there's a book swap box there too.
Warden and owner both very friendly, there was always a group of campers stood around having a chat.
We love Dawlish and will definitely be back to this site with our friends in tow next year.
Award-winning camping and glamping on the edge of Dartmoor National Park near Tavistock, Devon. 40 grass and hardstanding pitches for tents, touring caravans and motorhomes with optional electric hook-ups. Choose between the scenic Daffodil Field with moorland views or the sheltered old walled garden. For those preferring a bit more comfort, the park provides camping pods and mega pods.
Immaculate facilities with free hot showers, toilets, hairdryers, underfloor heating, laundry, dishwashing, games room, small shop, WIFI and playground. The onsite manor house hosts a dog-friendly restaurant and bar serving evening meals. Surrounded by mature woodlands with direct access to Dartmoor, with Tavistocks amenities just a short drive away. Perfect spot to explore Devon and Cornwall's main attractions Find out more here
A good site with well spaced good sized pitches. Ground is sloping in some parts of the site but this can be overcome with careful positioning of your tent.
Good safe playground on site for kids and lots of open ground to play in. Toilets can get busy but are cleaned regularly. Shop is well prised and has a good system of rotating freezer packs (50p for three). Showers cost 20p but last long enough if you choose one of the older models.
Would recommend a drink in the Mount Pleasant and a meal/drink/squat at the Anchor which provides a pick up drop off service (Which we found out on the very last day. Argh!).
Great site, just a nice walk from the Warren and pubs, hardly any road noise. Good clean toilets and showers, didn't experience much in the way of queueing even though site was pretty full.
Children's play area was pretty good too, and still plenty of open space for bikes and cricket. Very nice staff - slight problem with booking a hookup but that not being written down at the time, but they sorted that out very quickly.
Dawlish is a nice place for a family holiday - there's a great beach, lots of chipshops and fudge, fishing trips etc.
A gem of a site. Our pitch was large and fairly level (we did ask for a level pitch when booking) and although the facilities weren't the best we've ever enjoyed they were adequate.
There is no dog walking area but a couple of minutes walk down the road is a huge field where dogs are also exercised from a neighbouring site.
The site is well positioned for visiting this beautiful area of Devon with excellent transport links via bus and train.
On our first night we ventured down to the Mount Pleasant pub which has amazing views over the estuary. We didn't eat there but the food looked and smelled delicious.
Dawlish Warren itself is a great little place for families and the Warren itself is a beautiful nature reserve although we were disappointed that dogs were not allowed on the far end of the path having got so far down.
The coastal walk into Dawlish is great with lovely views of the red rocks however the railway line does run along side it and cuts across the beach at Dawlish, which in itself is a quaint little town perhaps there isn't a great deal to do there but it is very pretty.
our miles down the coast is Teignmouth which we absolutely loved; we also took the ferry from Starcross (about 2 miles away from Dawlish Warren) across the beautiful estuary to Exmouth which is well worth a visit.
We haven't commented on the facilities for children because we didn't have any children with us; however from what we observed, the children on site seemed to enjoy the playground facilities.
Booked this as a last minute thing as we found ourselves with 4 free days. A bit on the expensive side as it was not near the sea, but a good walk away. As I'm disabled we had to drive everywhere, but that's not the camps fault.
The reception and greeting we got was very friendly. We were put on pitch 79 which was close to reception and almost as close to the facilities. Perfect spot for me as I didn't have to walk too far.
There was a bit of noise at night with the boy racers up and down the road outside the camp. The road was 20 metres from us.
The showers were good at 20p a time and the toilets themselves were okay. No smell, but they need to get a long brush to sort the cobwebs out.
The shop in reception was okay for the essentials and not too overpriced that you can find on some sites. Our first night, the zip on our tent broke and I had to drive to Exeter to buy a new one.

All the facilities that you would need, toilets are very clean and well maintained in fact when we were leaving they were planning a new toilet/ wash block so this coming summer should be even better. Dawlish itself is lovely and most areas of Devon are not far as this site is fairly central
Ground did slope slightly but it wasn't that noticeable. Its fairly busy (esp w'ends) but all in all very impressed by everything!
Kids enjoyed themselves with the play park and they were also I eye-shot of our tent which was a bonus for us
We will return one summer after we've seen some more of Devon/ Cornwall
Booked this site after reading the fab reviews however I've got to say I was a disappointed upon arrival. The reception was not a nice warm and welcoming one at all, the pitch was sloping in more than 1 direction with dips in several places under our tent.
The facilities ie toilets, showers and laundrette were just ok, even though you have to pay for showers
The major plus was the location - just 10 mins easy walk on a path to the beach, train station and pubs etc.
I wonder if I stayed at the same site as these other reviewers as we found it to be noisy well into the night to the extent that the younger members of our party were woken up regularly,
the toilet and shower facilities were totally inadequate in number with continuous queues and no baby or family facilities, the flattened cardboard boxes on the toilet floors were classy.
The unisex showers were too small to take in more than one child, although we were amused by the washing up bowls chained to the sinks.
The children's play area was poor with no facilities for youngsters and babies and often full of teenagers.
The pitches were uneven to the extent that our 18 month old could not walk in the tent without falling over and the electric hook ups were positioned so that the leads trailed across the site where the kids played and had deep holes around them being a real risk to little feet.
The staff were quite miserable and appeared that they didn't want to be there. It is a shame as this is a great location and is sadly let down by the facilities and service.
Stayed at leadstone for 2 nights last week. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Facilities were clean, showers and toilets cleaned regularly, even late at night 1030pm I saw cleaners in there.
Showers cost 20p per time but it lasts for a long time so 20p is more than enough for a decent shower and hair wash.
Pitches were clearly marked and large enough for a tent, windbreak and car. Camping in close proximity to the toilets, showers, washing up area, and play park.
Facilities did get a little busy around peak times and queues did start to form for the toilets late at night. Showers tended to be busy around 6pm and 8am but that's to be expected.
There are several showers on site though so with a bit of patients everyone will get their turn.
No music and tvs after 2230 and quiet after 11pm.
Short walk (or drive) from the beach, shops and nature reserve. Also crazy golf, rides, and several good food pubs near by.
Short drive from dawlish and teignmouth, also trains and boats operate near by between local towns.
I have been looking at visiting Leadstone for a couple of years. After e-mail confirmation easy to book. Arrived without hitch and met by owner, showed to pitch in lower field.
Pitches generous. Ground quite hard, so take a mallet and try to avoid stones.
Concerned about number of toilets/showers, but really surprised that we never had to wait to use thes, with 20p giving generous wash after day on the beach, and owners kept them really clean.
Play area well used, but quiet by 10pm. Be prepared for early alarm call, as the family element of the site did not seem to appreciate a lie in.
Well placed site for; Dawlish Warren, good beach, but best to wander to quieter areas, not much to see or do apart from this, but Geralds supermarket reasonable.
Dawlish- quaint. Nice walk along coast from Dawlish Warren
Teignmouth- great visit for beach, town, crabbing and skate park which my son loved on his scooter.
Overall, pleased with the site, but in my visits to South Devon feel the area is missing something that South Hams has.

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was very pleasant, we only had a small 2 man tent and out pitch was more than enough.
