This was our second visit, in late September 2015. The site itself is very quiet, and the wardens helpful and very cheerful, even at the end of the season! Pitches seemed well spaced, with both hardstanding (which we prefer) and grass. The site is excellent from an access point of view, being just off the A38, which is linked to the M5 by fast dual track. Also the location is ideal for both Dartmoor and Torbay. Fish and Chip van on a Friday evening (excellent quality) is a definite plus. Only downside is the traffic build-up in Newton Abbot itself, where the rush-hour seems to last all day. Also there are many major roadworks between the site and Torbay at the time of writing, but eventually (possibly by 2016 season) the new dual-track will be open, and it will make a tremendous difference. We do love our visits to sites without facilities, which are quieter, and this was no exception!

Nice site in good position for visiting South Devon although description says quiet it isn't as the road to Newton Abbot runs past the site gate and has its fair share of lunatic drivers. I would not say it's good for cyclists due to having to navigate afore mentioned road to get anywhere it's narrow and dangerous. The Club Wi Fi was down while we were there and very poor mobile coverage if you like your gadgets. Access to the country park very good right next to site and a bus shelter adjacent should motor home members need transport.

We have returned after a week's stay at Stover and what a gem it is! It's not really a family site, with there not being any facilities on site, having said that, there were a few children on bikes. The site is best suited to older couples who want peace and quiet but being within easy access of the coast and Dartmoor.There is some road noise so pitch away from the road if possible. It had been very wet so the grass pitches were not in use and the hard standings are VERY hard-we had problems getting some of our pegs in. If you have a dog, it's fantastic with the country park next door. I walked our dog twice a day in the park and found a different route each time. It also served as a very useful meeting point with the locals, who were more than happy to suggest the best places to walk or eat. We didn't visit Trago Mills as it is not dog friendly. The Friday night chip van produced excellent fish and chips. We will definitely return
