Springfield Retreat

No availability at present on Pitchup.com 9.3 54 reviews

Well-maintained Devon holiday park a minute's drive from the A30
A quarter of an hour's drive from Castle Drogo or Exeter city centre
Family-run site with an outdoor pool and fully-stocked games room

Let yourself be lulled into the holiday mood with a stay at this relaxing Devon holiday park. Springfield Retreat is deep in the countryside – so much so that Dartmoor National Park can be reached within a mile – but is also a handy quarter of a mile from the speedy A30 road. Located within a quarter of an hour's drive of central Exeter, this popular choice is well-positioned for day trips to both Devon or Cornwall (the edge of which is half an hour away to the west). Springfield Retreat is a family-run site that's been designed with families in mind. An outdoor swimming pool is on hand to keep all members of your party active, while an indoor fully-stocked games room is a short walk away. Finally, a kids' playground should help keep any younger guests you’re bringing in high spirits. With so many on-site amenities, it may prove difficult to leave the park – but if you do, you're within striking distance of the nearest beach (30 minutes), the Jurassic Coast (from 35 minutes) and the smart seaside towns of the English Riviera (40 minutes). Handily, Springfield Retreat is about a mile and a half from the village of Tedburn St Mary, where a pub, post office and well-stocked village shop should sort out most of your needs while you’re here.

Andrew Y. Aug 2024

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Very friendly staff, who met us on arrival and gave us a welcome info pack.
The open air pool was nice and a reasonable temp, although small and shallow - it is more for children.
the pitch was fairly level, requiring just one wedge, and EHU and water were on each pitch.
Quite a pretty site, well maintained, and the scenery was lovely countryside.
the toilet and shower block was on the same level as our pitch, but one block served all levels. It was never busy though. It also housed the chemical toilet disposal and washing up areas.
You can arrive from midday.

Disliked: bins were outside the main gate, which was a bit of a faff when the pedestrian side gate was locked.
We noted than one group left their rubbish on the pitch when they left!
There was no shop on site
There was on;y one shower/toilet block.
WIFI available but you had to pay.

Local attractions

With Exeter's gorgeous cathedral and quayside walks a quarter of an hour's drive away, city day trips are a very appealing option at Springfield Retreat. Other local attractions not to miss include Castle Drogo (15 minutes' drive), an elegant country house and mixed-revivalist castle from the 1930s, and Okehampton Castle (20 minutes) on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. While in the area, you could take the kids to Adventure Okehampton (20 minutes), an adrenaline-fuelled activity park where they’ll find plenty to keep them occupied. More family-friendly days out are in store just down the road at Crealy Theme Park (20 minutes), and it's very quick to get to the beach too, whether you fancy colourful pebbles at Budleigh Salterton (35 minutes) or the sandy shores of Torbay (40 minutes). Plymouth (50 minutes) has a bustling city centre and fab aquarium to drop by at if you're on your way to Cornwall, where top attractions include Tintagel's impressive seaside castle (55 minutes) and the unmistakable Eden Project (an hour and five minutes).
