Exeter Racecourse site is one that you could mistakenly think was good just for an overnight stop; perhaps on the way to your ferry in Plymouth or another site in Cornwall. Indeed it is but not exclusively so. We found it a perfect base to explore the region as far afield as Lyme Regis and as near as Exeter itself. There are many places of interest not too far away where you can while away the hours rain or shine. The site itself sit in the `v` between the A380 Torquay road and the A38 to Plymouth; but don`t let that put you off. They are both far enough away so as not to be intrusive and you are screened from them by Haldon Forest. Wherever you pitch you will have good views, some admittedly better than others. The only down side? Weak showers. They are spotlessly clean however.  If you can live with this then this site makes a super base from which to explore the area. See for yourselves.
