Leonards Cove Holiday Park is a clifftop touring and camping site above Start Bay in Stoke Fleming, a couple of miles from Dartmouth in South Devon. The camping field looks out to sea and most pitches carry sea views, with electric grass pitches taking tents up to 7.5m and a separate touring area for caravans and campervans on 16 amp hook-ups. This is a mixed holiday park rather than a camping-only site, so tourers share the grounds with lodges, cottages, bungalows, mobile homes and a glamping yurt, plus an onsite shop and the Trattoria Spaggia restaurant. Blackpool Sands beach sits under half a mile away, and Slapton, Dartmouth and the South West Coast Path are all within easy reach for walkers and swimmers. Dogs are not allowed on the camping or touring fields, and vehicles cannot be parked on the camping field itself, so pack a trolley and leave the dog at home for a tent stay here. Families and couples after coastal views and proper facilities are the natural fit at Leonards Cove, which opens from early April to the start of November. Book directly through the park for camping and touring pitches in Stoke Fleming, and arrive ready for a windswept clifftop spot rather than a sheltered woodland one.
No, dogs are not permitted on the camping or touring fields at Leonards Cove, and they are not allowed inside the accommodation for camping guests either. If you want to bring a dog to this part of South Devon, you will need to choose a different site, as the pitches are kept dog-free.
