Good stopover but.......

If you have not been to Exeter Racecourse before it is as well you bear in mind that it has small and limited facilities, it is in a high, exposed place and as such is windy and, between two dual carriageways so noisy, too. There are only a few hard standings although the grass areas are very firm. But the real bugbear is that unless you have a car it is very difficult to get anywhere from here. Devonshire County Council in their wisdom will not allow an Exeter bound bus to stop near the site so you have to get one going in the opposite direction then change at Chudleigh to come back past the site and with year long roadworks in the City that transpires to be a one and a half hour journey!   Similarly a journey to Dawlish via Newton Abbott took two hours! We could have walked it in that time but it would mean wandering along busy and dangerous lanes.   I am writing to DCC to suggest a practical way in which they could allow Northbound buses to stop on the A38.  Don't hold your breath!

Exeter racecourse review

We stayed here for 4 nights from 23rd September. Friendly welcome from Wardens who keep the site spotless. Facilities are very basic..shower was just a dribble so decided to use our own. Great to be able to walk the 2 miles around the racecourse. Car boot sale every Sunday seemed well attended but not near the caravan site so doesn't interfere with anyone. Just over a mile away is the Haldon Forest, where there are numerous cycle and walking trails; a cafe and the treetop adventure - Go Ape. ideal for families. We used the cycle trails and Go Ape, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Definitely will return.

Ideal for seeing the surrounding area

A really good level site with friendly wardens. The facilities are spotless. It's close enough to Exeter to get the nearby Park & Ride into the city. It's only a short drive down to the coast and Weymouth. A typical seaside resort, not tacky, but with plenty to do, and a good range of shops close by.

Back Again

Stopped off for a few days on our way back from Cornwall.  There is road noise from the A38 but with the wind and rain we experienced during our stay it wasn't noticeable!  We were not there on a Sunday so missed the car boot sale (just as well).  You can walk all round the inside of the race track just takes a bit of time as we get older.  Toilet block is a little old but is kept very clean, we could use a hairdryer in the ladies please.

Good stopover

We stopped at Exeter Racecourse site on our way back home to Cornwall after our trip up the South Coast. This is our second time at the site, and we find it a convenient stopover site right off the A38. We stopped on a Sunday and spent an entertaining hour looking round the car boot sale. Facilities were fine and we will probably come again!!

Used this as a stop over to the West Country. Great location, easy to get in and out. Relief wardens were great and helpful (provided fresh eggs and bacon for breakfast). Site great for dogs. facilities a little tired but very clean. A bit of noise from the A30 but quieter at night.

We stopped at this site for one night only, en route to Newquay. Site access is excellent, the facilities are clean and maintained to a high standard. Unfortunately whilst pitching the van I unscrewed the jockey wheel far too much, causing the whole thing to collapse, leaving the towbar flat on the ground. Newby error I'm afraid!. We asked Colin the Site Warden for advice, and what a star he was, not only did he help put the jockey wheel back into place, he showed me how to position it and secure it for future reference. Another tip to log into the memory bank, thank you so much Colin.

Good for families central location

we had a wonderful time at the site with one or two problems but the wardens helped by making calls for us and didn't mind being woken at 02:00 for a medical emergency all in all the site is very good one downside we have Greyhounds and would have liked somewhere to let them run rather than having to keep them on there leads at all times
