About the site

Set between Exeter, Torquay and Paignton and just a ten minute walk to a Blue Flag beach, this traditional campsite is a great spot for exploring South Devon. Welcoming families and dogs, this is the perfect place for some classic camping fun! This seven acre campsite is laid out over four fields, which are fenced and hedged to maintain privacy and a small site feel. Some pitches are on a slight slope, so it is advised to bring chocks to help level it out. All pitches have a 16 amp electric hook up, measure a spacious 10m x 8m and allow car parking by the pitch. Owl Field is the largest of the four, is straight ahead when you arrive onsite, and is suitable for tents, campervans, caravans and motorhomes. Here, there are pitches around the hedge for those who want some shade and some extra large pitches in the centre, with some hedging for sun worshippers! Badger Field is past reception and the shower block and has a play park, making it a great spot for families. This field is more suitable for campervans and tents due to the slight rolling hills. This is also where the visiting food trucks park, so you'll be in the prime spot for a tasty meal. Fox Field offers large hedges for shade and glimpses of sea views. There is also Rabbit Field, a smaller, quieter space, with just nine pitches, plus 20 seasonal pitches onsite. Pitches are all on a sandy subsoil, so rain disappears very quickly. Getting tent pegs in (and out of!) the ground can be a challenge at times, but that is all part of the fun. Grab a morning pastry from the shop in reception and ask one of the friendly team members to help you plan your day exploring South Devon. As the evening draws on, and the children slowly run out of steam after a busy day, the play park closes at 9pm, so by 10:30pm it's quiet time - you may even hear the sea! No clubhouse and no pool are just two of the reasons campers return year after year. Parents bring their children who bring their children who bring their children - generations of families stay at Leadstone because that is how they remember camping, the old fashioned way. The site has easy access to the South West Coast Path and the Exe estuary, so either bring your bike or head out on foot and explore some stunning coastline! The 500 acre Dawlish Warren Nature Reserve is also within walking distance, a popular spot with birdwatchers and botanists. Dogs are welcome onsite. BBQs are permitted as long as they are raised from the ground, and bricks can be provided by the site.

Leadstone Holiday Park is open from 01/04 to 30/09. Pitches from £32/night for 2 people.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches (Fox Field)Sep 2025

Great location with easy access to south coast path, a bus stop just outside the site and a station to help you reach towns along the coast or trek inland to Exeter and Dartmoor. We took the ferry across to Exmouth and had a great time exploring the area.

Perfect

Motorhome - Electric Grass Touring Pitches (Owl Field)Aug 2025

This is a gem of a site. Good location, reasonably priced and spotlessly clean. On arrival you get a great welcome and regularly see the staff around cleaning to keep the site and facilities spotless. I would recommend the site to all categories as there is a bus stop right outside for those who are less mobile. We will return.

Things to do on site and in the Dawlish Warren area

The main attraction is, of course, the Blue Flag beach at Dawlish Warren, awarded Blue Flag status for many years now, lifeguarded during the main season, and just a ten minute walk away. The Grand Prix Go-karts near the beach are great fun for all ages - there are some fast karts and two-seater karts for all to enjoy.

'The car hasn't been used for a week' is a phrase frequently used here. Why would you? The bus stops at the gate, taking you along the beautiful coast road to Torquay and onto Paignton for the zoo. Plenty of people use the train to explore the region, too.

The sea wall trip between Dawlish and Teignmouth and onwards is popular, and it connects to the steam train at Paignton for a trip to Dartmouth - now that is a great day out. A long (but level) walk into Exeter is another adventure. Jump on the train to Plymouth with its naval history.

Take the passenger ferry to Exmouth from Starcross, it's a great little cruise on the beautiful River Exe. How about trying paddleboarding, or just kayaking on the canal to a pub for lunch?

Hire a bike locally (or bring your own) and explore the Exe Estuary along the trail all the way around to Exmouth. There are some great downhill runs for braver cyclists in nearby Haldon Forest (there's a GoApe there as well).

If you fancy a pint, there are five pubs within a ten minute walk, by which time you will be on the beach enjoying an ice cream. There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy a great meal locally too, with pubs and the traditional seaside fare, fish and chips and ice cream.
