Stopover only

We stopped over on route elsewhere and were glad we hadn’t booked longer. The positives are access to the site is great, the wash block is warm and very clean, pitches level and there’s a shop on site. The negatives are there’s not really anything to do nearby so you need to drive to get anywhere, there’s no views to speak of and the site seemed a bit soulless. In summary and from a motorhome perspective, a good stopover but not really suitable for a longer stay if you like to just park up and walk/cycle to stuff nearby

Excellent Exeter

Just back from our first trip away this year, what bliss with unexpectedly good weather for March. The site is clean and tidy and extremely well managed. The facilities are all working and scrupulously clean. The new wardens for this year are warm and welcoming, friendly and very efficient, they are both delightful. An excellent site for those with dogs, you are allowed to walk the course and easy access into Harcombe Woods.

Not up to Caravan Club Standards

We stayed on this site in July for 3 weeks. When we arrived it had been raining and the campsite looked dishevelled. We managed to find a pitch which was close to Grundy bins and a service point. This was to be our downfall as the large bins were only emptied once a week and soon the rubbish was overflowing and the stench was disgusting. I couldn’t open the caravan windows as the temperatures soared. The service point was regularly used but other rude people walk close to your pitch to access it. The wardens were not bothered by my complaints and everything was the responsibility of the Race course. At the end of the day my contract is with the Caravan Club not the Race Course. The roads were full of potholes and badly lit in the evening. Very difficult to pitch an awning as there was rock just below the grass. A relief warden was breaking down cardboard in the recycling Grundy bin one day and he was such a scruffy man that another camper asked if he was looking for his bed for the night. The warden didn’t even smile. One day the same warden was trying to put another pitch in between my unit and the service point. I wasn’t impressed. Glad that he changed his mind. The Caravan Club band arrived as did more rubbish and the relief wardens were not proactive but reactive and managed to find some small bins for the extra rubbish. Will never ever recommend this site and would not choose to use it ever again.

The Webb's On Tour

Excellent site. The wardens Avril and Mark keep an immaculate site, credit to them. Toilet and shower block including disabled are spotlessly clean, as is the pot washing area. The grass is very well maintained. Peaceful site to stay on. Central location for driving off for the day. Nice 2 mile walk around the racecourse, level underfoot, suitable for anyone not steady on their feet. We will return.

Nice surprise

We booked this site initially for a two night stop over on our way home, we had been out traveling since the 1st of September stopping exclusively at CAMC sites due to the no deposit policy which suits us especially at this time. Having read other members reviews regarding its facilities block & how it was not up to standards I became worried about what we would find as we found that all of our five previous CAMC sites had deteriorated since our previous visits a couple of years ago especially the facilities blocks. We cancelled one night & remained where we were but could not book in anywhere else for the other night so we had to go to Exeter. What a pleasant surprise, the temp wardens (from Looe site) were exceptionally friendly & helpful and the site was well looked after with what seemed like endless dog walking opportunities. So to investigate the much moaned about facilities block ...... Clean & tidy, no black mould anywhere (Trewethett Farm it was everywhere) no nasty smells, no tiles or anything else for that matter broken (Godrevy had lots of broken tiles & loos) So what is all the fuss about? At £15 per night (after VAT reduction) this costs less than most CLs ! We were only disappointed that we had cancelled the previous nights stay, would we return... YES definitely.

A good stopover

Stayed her for 2 nights on the way to Cornwall and 1 night on the way back to break the journey. Site ideally located and very easy to find, no narrow lanes!! Very spacious with a good dog walk and views over the adjacent countryside. Facilities very clean and well maintained. Wardens helpful and friendly. You need a car if you want to go anywhere but the location of the site is worth it. We caught the park and ride to Exeter, well worth the visit especially the area at Riverside. Site locked at night which is a security bonus. Nothing to do with the site but the fish and chips were a bit of a disappointment, the fish was frozen in batter something like you would buy in Iceland. Not "real" fish!. But as I said nothing to do with site management but just thought I would mention it. Would certainly stay there again without hesitation

Booked in for two nights and stayed a week. Friendly staff, great walk around the course, central location for Exeter, Torquay, Exmouth. Close to A38 but still hardly any noise.

The best in Devon

Was only going to stay a couple of nights and stayed for two weeks. Ideal site for visiting Exeter and the surrounding countryside. Because to the size of my RV, I was placed on some hard standing, which suited me very well. The wardens there are very jolly and certainly go the extra mile to help with any query. I enjoyed it so much there I shall definitely return for a few more weeks. Excellent site.
