Powered gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked: Very nicely laid out, small touring and tent area round a lawn, with well planted landscaping and two attractive sculptures of deer. There is a good cafe for breakfast and teas right next door at the adjacent guest house. The history of the Woodleigh Estate is interesting.
The shower block is small, one ladies room, one gents, and a separate disabled, but they are new and clean. Lots of hot water, too. There are the usual campervan facilities. Friendly reception gentleman, happy to have a chat. It is a bit out of the way, but the fishing lake is attractive, and Exeter is 10 miles down an easy A road.
Disliked: No Wifi! The A30 road noise is a bit obtrusive at the bottom of the site. The hand dryer and hair dryer in the ladies were broken but when we reported this, the gentleman was very grateful and it will certainly be fixed by now, I think. The site fees seemed a bit steep for a fairly basic small site.

Liked: Very peaceful quiet site, shame about the road behind at nights.
But very clean and tidy, I liked that.

From the manager: all our gravel pitches are the other end of the park and thats what you booked we are that small it is a very very short walk of 100 meters to the shower block also the gravel pitches are in the corner of the park adjacent to the a30 by 1/2 a mile if asked you could of moved away from the road kind regards woodleigh team

Liked: This site is really close the main routes and is small, quiet, safe, clean and really well maintained. Really friendly staff and smooth easy check in.
Disliked: Some road noise and site is on a slope in some places although I managed to park my van on an area that had been levelled but take blocks for your wheels if you have them. Only one small shower for the ladies block but as I said the site is very small and I did not have to queue for long to use it.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: The initial service from Louise was amazing. She was so friendly and helpful. The park is well maintained and fairly easy to find
Disliked: The customer service is appalling from the man. Unsure of his name. He couldn’t even crack a smile when our kids were playing or said hello. He was rude about where we had put our tent and claimed we were on two pitches (despite being the only one on there! And Louise letting us know to pitch up anywhere!) he would stare at our kids if they dared to make noise and was generally creepy. We actually left a day earlier because we felt uncomfortable and didn’t enjoy our stay. The facilities are average, they could do with updating but reasonably clean. We Will not be returning unfortunately.

From the manager: you was parked on the pitch next door and when asked to move so i could pitch someone else you were fine we are a quite park and dont tolerate ferrell children which were rowdy and misbehaved we have to think about other campers and holiday home residents on site i would suggest a more built up theme park site were your children can run around being annoying that is not what we at woodliegh are about kind regards woodliegh team
