We often use this site as a stop over when travelling from the the East Midlands to Cornwall, as it is very convenient being situated just off the A38. The facilities are basic but clean and the pitches are nicely spaced to make the most of the open vista across the racecourse. However, the main attraction, if like me you are into mountain biking, is Haldon Forest MTB trails - just 5 minutes ride away with trails suitable for all abilities. There's also some great walks and a nice cafe at the visitor centre.

Pros:
Very pleasant heathland setting
Good forest walks and bike rides nearby
Toilet/shower facilities kept spotless by wardens
Helpful wardens
Cons:
Although very clean, toilet block needs some serious money spent to enlarge facility and bring it up to date
Very few hardstanding pitches for size of site
Hilltop site is very exposed so catches winds
Long way out of Exeter
Has a transit camp feel, probably because that's how many people use it - just a night on the way to/from deeper Devon or Cornwall
Site sits between A38 and another major road - expect traffic noise (but this is not unbearable)
We were unable to use a CC 'free night' voucher since CC only manages the site, it doesn't own it
