Lockwood House Campsite

Lockwood House Campsite sits in the private grounds of a Devon property, covering about three-quarters of an acre. Surrounded by mature trees, the site provides sheltered pitches with open views over rolling fields. As a certificated location run under the Camping and Caravanning Club, it limits numbers to keep things tranquil – typically up to five caravans or motorhomes alongside tent space.

The emphasis here falls squarely on relaxation. Rules ensure a calm atmosphere: adults only, no pets, and no day visitors allowed on site. Groups are not accommodated, making it suited to couples or solo travellers who prefer serenity over bustle.

Pitches include a mix of grass and at least one hardstanding option, with basic but well-maintained facilities that cover essential needs.

Location plays a big part in its appeal. Directly opposite lies Dawlish Countryside Park, a 64-acre green space with paths leading towards Dawlish Warren and beyond.

Walkers can reach the town centre or the beach without needing a car on many days. The site stays conveniently close to everyday supplies, with a large supermarket only minutes away by vehicle.

For those bringing caravans or motorhomes, the approach involves a standard residential road without steep gradients or narrow lanes that cause problems. Free Wi-Fi covers the grounds, adding a practical touch for staying connected if required.

The campsite forms part of larger grounds that include self-catering cottages, yet the camping area remains separate and self-contained. Rates well with a good number of reviews from those who value its understated, peaceful character.

Level access to most pitches; one hardstanding suitable for motorhomes; short drive or walk to public transport links in Dawlish. Access to the property is a steep incline with a tricky entrance – blink and you miss it on arrival, leaving needs care with a blind bend to the left.

Layout

Compact site enclosed by trees for privacy; pitches spaced for quiet separation; central facility block

Local Amenities

Dawlish Countryside Park opposite is a dog exercise field – so not ideal for tranquil walks, it does however provide easy access to Sainsbury’s and Dawlish Warren. The town centre and beach within easy reach by car.

Parking

Space provided alongside each pitch; no separate overflow area needed due to small scale.
