Rainbow Retreat

Me gustó You can see how much care and attention that Luke and his family have put into making it a beautiful and welcoming family-friendly site. The showers are clean and the compost toilets emptied regularly. Easy to use and instructions provided, it was our first time using them but it was fine! The communal kitchen area is awesome - Beautiful views of the forest from there, lots of seating and loved the little nature ID cards.
We were very grateful to have a shaded plot for our tent after a fair few days in the sun at other sites.
A wheelbarrow was provided so we could move our stuff to and from the car parking area (walk to site is only about a minute or two walk)

Nice and easy drive into Exeter from here

Me gustó I joked with the owner, that with the seclusion, tranquility, and the scattered always evolving amenities, if the there was a zombie apocalypse next week, I would make my way back here pronto.

The arrival can be a bit confusing (there is some renovation going on at the top of the hill), but I sent the hosts a text when we'd arrive and Sammie met us to point us down the hill to the car park. She and her husband were happy to show us to our camp, then the facilities that are all dotted around a long track winding down the hill. They've put this together over the last three years and not only does it look great, they want to see it grow, and seem to be adding or making changes daily.

The yurt is fully fitted. I brought the usual camping supplies just in case, but we could have just brought clothes and toiletires. There was even a few foody things, condiments, oil, and plenty of cutlery stuff like that. Stuff you wouldn't even get if you stayed in a caravan. It gets bloody hot in there once the sun hits it, which it will as there's a lovely clear, wide view of the valley to the south. During the night, the temperature drops like a rock, though the internal wood burner would help.

There isn't much in the way of activities for kids exept wandering the woods, which my boy did a lot and loved. Other than that we relaxed and prepared breakfast and tea in the little clearing by the yurt overlooking the valley, watching the horses in the field yonder do their thing. I would mention to watch your kids as there are several steep drops or embankments into the thickets and brambles, but the hosts own kid seems happy and safe bouncing around.

While I think other reviews mentioned bad mobile signal, we use 5g and had plenty.

Other than that, this is a safe, welcoming, woody camp site that seems to be ever evolving, and I'd love to revisit in a year.

Oh, and if you don't know how to use a composting toilet, say so (the hosts were kind enough to ask, but not our first rodeo). At least one other guest seemed too ashamed to do so, and it makes things worse for other campers. Maybe a kids-proportioned toilet would help?

Me gustó We absolutely loved our stay at Rainbow Retreat. As a family-run campsite, the owners were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed. Their personal touch really made a difference and created a warm, relaxed atmosphere throughout our stay. We felt genuinely valued as guests and wouldn't hesitate to return.

Me gustó Loved the beautiful setting, giant trees, super friendly hosts, secluded pitches and proximity to Exeter! It felt like you were in the middle of nowhere.

Me gustó Lovely yurt and warmed up quickly once you get the log burner lit. Close to exeter. Was visiting whilst daughter attended a course in the city. Was unnervingly quiet apart from all the bird song. Felt safe for son to roam safely to kitchen toilet etc

Me gustó Great setting, lovely wild camp vibes and very peaceful location. Owned by a lovely family who said they’re also making improvements so would come back again.

No me gustó Bit of a walk from the carpark but worth it for having no cars around and being in such a lovely place. Facilities basic but got all you need.
