We have just come back from 8 days at this site. We stayed in the 'paddock' which is the bit off to the left as you enter the site.
We had a lovely relaxing time until the last 2 days when 3 caravans parked behind us and sat outside playing a mandolin and singing!! No respect for other people.
The wardens where very friendly and the overnight stay facilities are excellent. However down side's where the toilets are very dated and smelt fusty. You do get a bit of road noise and the site seems to have a climate all of it's own. Several days it was cloudy, windy and cold at the site, but nice further down the hill. All in all a nice site and I would stay again.
Great Site
We picked this site to stay near my nephew in Exeter.
The Wardens are lovely and very helpful too.
The site is good for children, with lots of space to run off some energy, but some play equipment would make an excellent addition and would give it 5 not 4* from me.
The facilities are clean and well maintained, just a little dated perhaps.
Would definitely stay there again.

Best value for money site in the book
We have been using this site since 1998, and must say that on top of all the good reviews, the Wardens this year are the greatest.
A great site
Always a pleasure to arrive at this unique site.
Lovely wardens and very clean facilities.
A great base for exploring the area.
We will be back.

enjoyable break
We had a great weekend on this site ideal for us being not far to travel and we will certainly be going back. Easy drive to get the park and ride to Exeter which was a fantastic day out. The site was large and spacious and the facilities very well kept. I would recommend this site.
Good basic site
We have just stayed 10 nights on this site. It is our third visit as the site is situated in such a good position to visit so many places. The facilities are basic but clean which is the most important feature for me. The site was quite full especially at weekends but this didn't spoil our enjoyment. For the price it is a bargain and I wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

Nice area shame about the A38 road noise
Lovely wardens who are chatty and hard working.
The toilet block needs up dating completely and enlarging.
The noise from the A38 road is constant from around 0700hrs till late evening.
The Caravan Club is getting greedy, the pitches are jammed in on a lot of sites, Exeter racecourse included. We were on pitch No 64, when the couple on pitch No 63 left it gave the whole area a different aspect. The area seemed to be opened up more.
Why does the club site pitches opposite each other. The pitches should all be staggered to give people more privacy.
I feel the Club is in need of a rethink on laying out site plans.
I know the stock answer it " meets the fire regulations" but sometimes people want privacy with planting or screening, and not to feel as if you are pitched on a car park with a toilet block.
But I will say Buckfast Abbey is a must to visit.
Excellent Break
Wonderful place for a break or longer, it was peaceful,the facilities were scrupulously clean, and the staff who manage the site couldn't have been nicer, I would thoroughly recommend using this site.
surprise surprise!
we were only going to stay 3 nights but stayed for 12! we loved it there, great for the dogs and us. you can walk around the racecourse(2 miles) Haldon Forest just up the road, and a Diner close bye,we were happy,thought the site was great value,facilities spotless,relief wardens were lovely. we used it as a base to travel around a bit. This site was a great find for us.
good site
the site is clean and tidy, the wardens are great and maintain the site very well.
our only criticism is the showers, not very good pressure to have a good shower, and the hand dryers also lacked power.
great place to base yourselves. good value tho.
