Lady’s Mile Campsite, Dawlish Warren. EX7 0LX, Tel 01626863411
To Find Site:- Probably the easiest route to this site is to exit the A
380 onto the A381 towards Teignmouth and take the Dawlish and Dawlish
road towards Exeter. The site is clearly visible in Dawlish Warren. Be
careful about sat navs taking you across some very narrow unsuitable
roads. If coming from the north from Exeter the road is quite narrow in
a couple of places, particularly Starcross.
Lady’s Mile is a massive campsite of about 450 pitches, although it
seems more! With a mix of touring camping, seasonal pitches and fixed
accommodation all in their individual areas, not mixed. Some of the
touring pitches are near the entrance and all the main facilities but at
the top of the site there is a new area of serviced hardstanding pitches
of generous size (as are most pitches on site). Opposite these pitches
are more grass pitches overlooking another entertainment and sports
area. The road from reception up to the top of the site is quite steep.
We did find that pitches needed levelling in both directions. Electric
points are convenient to all pitches and are rated at 10 amps and use
CEE17 blue connectors. All camping areas have their own toilet blocks
some newer than others. Some have family bathrooms. For camping areas
without serviced pitches there are water taps dotted around. Chemical
disposal is situated at the toilet blocks. The site is exceptionally
well equipped as a holiday location. There is both indoor and outdoor
swimming pools. A large restaurant/bar where entertainment is provided
at certain times. There is a well-stocked shop and next door a
laundrette. Clearly the site is aimed at family holidays which might not
suit all but out of the peak holiday season it is reasonable quiet and
not bad value given the facilities available. There is site wide WiFi
which is chargeable. On the surface it seems expensive but it does allow
up to five devices to be used per token. 4G is available on site but
speed is a bit slow. For those with mobility issues and who might wish
to use the buses to get around it might be better to book a pitch nearer
to the site entrance than higher up the site as this will prevent the
need for steep climb up the site road.
The campsite is situated fairly close to the beach at Dawlish Warren.
There is a handy exit from the top of the site down to the village,
about half a miles away. It is an uphill trek on the way back but you
could always get the bus! That bus will also take you to Dawlish and
Teignmouth. At both Dawlish and Dawlish Warren there are train stations
with Exeter in one direction and Paignton in the other. From the front
of the site there are buses to Exeter and back to Dawlish. For food
shopping there is a nice Sainsburys supermarket about a half mile walk
from the site entrance.
