Very clean and tidy site, well maintained. Each tent pitch is clearly marked with hedgerow and the hardstandings are also well maintained. Small site with owner living on site, who is readily available if you need help. Good facilities and all in a relaxing, quiet area not far from shops etc. Good place to come and relax in a child free site. Really enjoyed our stay with our dog.

Perfect campsite, clean facilities. All pitches have electricity and are maintained scrupulously by Paul. On arrival, we were greeted by Paul and had a choice of pitches to choose from. There's a code to enter the into the bollard for everyone entering the site so it feels secure and safe. There's hot water in the showers, £1 for 7 mins, so remember to bring coins. In the Laundrette, there's a washer, a freezer for ice packs and a washing up sink with plenty of hot water to clean your dirty dishes. The whole campsite is run so efficiently that Paul makes it look easy and we had a comfortable camping holiday. So much so, we can't wait to return. I left my spare glasses on our pitch which were posted back to me which I think proves that Paul goes that extra mile for his guests. I wholeheartedly recommend Hunters Lodge Camping and Caravan, not least for its excellent location, with a bus stop nearby and a short walk to the village. Starcross that has a mainline train with a ferry as well. There are a few pubs that serve food that even had an option for vegans, so we were pleasantly surprised.

Excellent stay in a great location at this adult only site. Site is well laid out, grass pitches with electric were private, with hedges separating the pitches. Facilities were clean, there are two shower rooms and two toilets - fine when the site was quiet as it was during our stay, may be busy if site was full (but is a relatively small site). Great value, would definitely return if in the area.

I would not recommend. Poor approach road, very poor exit. Feel it needs more toilets and showers.

Great adult only site, very clean and well maintained and the owner was very friendly and helpful. The site is within walking distance of two very nice pub/restaurants and you can also walk to the ferry port that takes you across to Exmouth. Plymouth and Torquay are also less than an hours drive as is Dartmoor. The camp has a relaxed and laid back atmosphere, and is generally quiet and peaceful (people tend to respect the 10pm "quiet time" curfew). The only down side was that the site was not far from Exeter airport and the planes come over when taking off, there are also a lot of helicopter activity in the area (air rescue/ambulance I assume, and some military ones too) and the road that runs along side the camp is quite noisy and is busier that expected (it looks like a quiet country lane) especially in the morning (people going to work I guess). For some people this is not a problem, but if you are a light sleeper like me, you are likely to be woken up a few times during the night/early morning. There was no shop on site (which we knew) so it was a trip to the local supermarket to get provisions etc, There is one shower for men and one for women, not a problem if you timed it right, so limited facilities but the facilities that are there are good, clean and well kept I would recommend it, but be prepared for the odd disrupted night, but that is not the fault of the campsite, just where it is located and what is going on around it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay at Hunters Lodge; the daily visit from the ducks was adorable. Facilities could do with a bit of love but were always clean and well stocked with loo roll! Intermittent hot water for washing up. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

A very friendly welcome on arrival. Perfect site for access to local area by bus, train, ferry and bicycle. Very pleasant surroundings amongst hens, ducks and geese. Facilities very clean. Will definitely be returning.

Great little campsite. Facilities were clean. I think another set of showers would be a good addition as always having to queue, but to be fair it was the August bank holiday weekend, which may be the busiest time of the year. Pitch was in good condition considering the weather we've had recently. Great if you want to bring your dog. Plenty of walks nearby and there are dog friendly sections at Dawlish Warren beach.

We loved the peace and quiet of Hunters Lodge, but found there wasn't much to do close by especially with a dog. However, there is a train station, which is really close by, meaning you can explore further afield. We had some lovely good at The Atmospheric (a pub by the station) and good drinks at The Anchor Inn (the other side by the harbour). There were only 3 toilets and 1 shower (per gender) which I imagine would get really busy when the campsite was fully booked. The facilities were also quite old. There was no hot water available for washing up dishes. Overall, a good stay but, for us, we just needed a few more things to do!

Each pitch has privacy and loads of space. Really good location - short walk to the pub by the harbour and Starcross station. Also, the host was really helpful and friendly.

Fantastic site and owner. Couldn't have been more kind, especially when our motorhome broke down. He had a look but it was obvious that it needed a new part and Paul (the owner) contacted a local mechanic, who came to the site and fixed the problem. Absolutely brilliant help and service.
Would definitely stay again

Lovely peaceful campsite with a friendly helpful owner. Only feedback would be to perhaps put sensor lighting in a few areas to guide people to the facilities on a night time.

Booked this short break as a much-needed rest away from everything, and it fitted the bill perfectly. A beautiful site in a lovely tranquil setting, clean and tidy and quiet, absolutely lovely. We went along the estuary on Saturday and it is a lovely place to walk or cycle, we cycled and took in some lovely views. Would definitely book again.

Lovely place, and highly recommended. As a camper in a tent, my only observation was the lack of a fridge available. I have found this extremely helpful on many other sites, we can't always guarantee our English weather and the ability to keep some things chilled more efficiently would be beneficial.
Lovely holiday park

Hunters lodge is a lovely quiet park with plenty of lovely walks. Close to public transport, really good cycle paths and also close to the railway station. If you want a quiet holiday, this place is perfect.

Considering the cost per night, I was a little disappointed that the showers were an extra £1. Great location I would definitely go again
