Pithead Campsite

Ik was blij met: 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).

Ik was niet zo blij met: 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.

Ik was blij met: 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.

Ik was niet zo blij met: 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.

Ik was blij met: 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.

Ik was niet zo blij met: 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.

Ik was blij met: 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.

Ik was niet zo blij met: 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.

Ik was blij met: Really good, decent additional facilities such as kitchenette and dining tent. Basic facilities, compost toilet and outdoor shower. Lovely location and couldn't be better value for money. Very welcoming.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Tiny, tiny grumble, no parking next to pitch.

Ik was blij met: 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.

Ik was blij met: The communal kitchen was great, everything you would need, to cook eat and drink with, for a small family, cutlery, pots, and pans, even wine glasses, loved the eco aspect, also the charging points and fridge were really handy, The site owner Fan was really friendly and accommodating, the site was very quiet, and there was also a big fire pit you could sit round at night if you chose to light it, you have to buy the logs to clarify.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Nothing really, although I wish because of the constant inclement weather, a roof on the shower would have been good, it was too cold to use it, but on the other hand would have been great in warm weather.

Van de manager: Aw thank you for your lovely review Ruth- I’m sorry the weather was so foul! I understand taking an outside shower in that weather isn’t inviting, however it is a hot shower! Roll on summer! Fan 😊
