Pithead Campsite

Μου άρεσε: Totally gorgeous site, we particularly appreciated the kitchen set up, with covered cooking area and all the basic pots, pans, utensils and crockery you'd need, plus places to sit around the outside. There was also a large marque erected at the top of the site while we were there, with tables and chairs inside which would have been useful had the weather been bad. Well maintained compost toilets and a heated shower.

Μου άρεσε: All the little details, the painted loo doors, the open kitchen, the huge communal fire pit, the tennis courts. The marquee to hide from the rain inside with the candles etc (pity it didn't light up for a bit at night).

Δεν μου άρεσε: Nothing. Be careful crossing from the car park to the camp field, the cars fly along that lane and aren't expecting people to step out.

Μου άρεσε: The fully stocked communal kitchen with gas cooker, fabulous outdoor but private shower, compost toilets, drainage, tennis court, marquee for indoor eating, swing, trees and all the little extras. No cars and the provided wheelbarrow. Also all the recycling.

Δεν μου άρεσε: Nothing really. I knew it had some background noise from the a35 and flight path for planes, but actually got used to this really quickly.

Μου άρεσε: Beautiful bijou site in an old orchard/meadow. Amazing open-air cooking hut (gas burners, sink, loads of utensils), fully equipped including solar-powered 12V / USB charging, really clean and well-maintained compost toilets and a unique shower (no roof, but private, easy to use and warm!). Marquee with comfy chairs, grass tennis court and a few balls and frisbees. Great views over the Devon countryside, dark starry skies at night. Well-spaced grass pitches on a very gentle slope, and glamping options in bell tents. Really friendly, welcoming hosts responded quickly to arrival queries, was able to provide logs and fire pit at short notice. Handy for Exeter, East Devon seasides, Pebblebed Heaths - and a useful stop-off if you are heading further south and west.

Δεν μου άρεσε: Other reviews have mentioned the A30 road noise and it was noticeable in the background and almost constant day and night (August peak traffic I guess). Fairly regular low-flying aircraft too (Exeter airport flightpath). We didn't mind at all but others might be if looking for complete quiet.

Μου άρεσε: Beautifully laid out car-free site, trees, mown pitches. Compost toilets solar powered kitchen with fridge and charging points, gas cooker and pans. Friendly owner.

Δεν μου άρεσε: Being on the flight path from Exeter, but not many planes so it wouldn’t put me off coming again. Noise from A30 mostly a constant and easily-ignored hum, just the occasional motorbike cut through.

Μου άρεσε: Beautifully managed site for nature. We arrived just before the meadow was cut for the year and it was gorgeous. We liked all of the environmentally friendly considerations on site, especially the open air shower. Peaceful and simple camping.
