Pithead Campsite

Polubione That the cars weren’t parked next to the tents and that fires were permitted.

Niepolubione The access to the site and parking is very tight and you can only access the field when approaching it with it on the right. The main thing I didn’t like is that the long-drop toilets hadn’t been emptied (for what looked like many months) and the pile was within 10cm of the toilet seat. I’m a fan of long-drops usually but they do need to be maintained it’s not acceptable to let it pile so high without emptying it. The smell was also foul! Please also label whether water is drinkable or not as it wasn’t clear where we could fill up bottles. The final issue is that it’s right on the airport flight path and the planes come down very low and loud as they leave/land - not quite conducive with a peaceful holiday.

Polubione This is a lovely, peaceful, car-free site with well-mown pitches and amazing facilities. The compost toilets (Frida and Albert, love the artwork!) and the outdoor shower are spotlessly clean and functional. There is a great communal kitchen with big sink, solar-powered lights, USB chargers and fridge, plus a mighty gas hob with big enough kettle and mugs to make tea for a whole tribe!

Niepolubione Nothing really, though the very narrow lanes leading to the site might deter some who are unused to driving in the countryside, or not good at reversing! You can hear A30 traffic, but only as a gentle hum in the background. Low-flying planes from Exeter airport were a surprise at first, but it isn’t Heathrow and there aren’t many of them! Also there are only two toilets and one shower, which might be an issue when the site is busy.

Polubione Great site, with unexpected kitchen facilities and marquee & fire pit for socialising.

Polubione Pitches nicely spaced, great gazebo area with dining table for when it rains.

Niepolubione Wasps all around the toilet area, very unpleasant for toilet and shower experience. They swarm the willow which surrounds the area and you have to walk through the wasps to access the facilities. Toilets were also definitely overdue emptying, I've used compostable before and this was my worst compostable experience.
The location was down a narrow country road and we couldn't find any walkin paths nearby.

Polubione Pitches being far apart from each other meant no disturbances from snoozing or others in the night. Kitchen and dinning facilities. Selection of board games. Friendly staff. One of the cheapest site near Exeter.

Niepolubione Noise from the a road. Compost toilets.

Polubione Pithead is our new favourite campsite! We loved staying there. The toilets were clean, the shower was one of the best we've ever seen while camping, and the public kitchen was clean, organized and very lovely. The pitches where really great as well.
We will definitely return!

Polubione The facilities were really nice - good shower, clean compost toilets, covered marquee to use in bad weather, outdoor kitchen with gas hob. Kids enjoyed the tennis court - won a few points against me due to uneven bounce!

Niepolubione Just be aware that there's a fair amount of air and road traffic noise. We did see the red arrows though!

Polubione Beautiful site with lovely views. Communal kitchen and campfire were great. Brilliant to have car free site so the children were safe running around and playing.

Polubione Wonderful campsite, simple yet beautiful. With all we needed to feel comfortable and enjoy what we love most - being outside. It was a perfect site for all of us to be barefoot most of the time. The longer grass and meadow feel also added to the appeal instead of it being a boring mown lawn. We like wild!

We especially appreciated the firepit, picnic benches, kitchen hut was very useful. The woven willow making outdoor 'rooms'. The far reaching view and that there were no cars on the pitch site was also great for kids safety and makes for a more beautiful setting. The gate to keep kids in and safe also appreciated. We didn't really notice the traffic until in bed at night and our daughter loved the aeroplanes overhead.

Gorgeous early summer sunsets.
