About Rainbow Retreat
An ideal base for days exploring Exeter and evenings around the campfire. This small, 7.5 acre woodland site provides a shady spot for guests to unwind, spot wildlife and socialise with other campers. It is also only a 30 minute drive from the coast for those warm summer days. For tent campers, there are a total of five non electric grass pitches dotted around the woodland. Each measures around 6m x 6m, allowing up to six guests. The facilities are also lit up at night to help guide you through the woodland and add to the magical feel. If glamping is more your style, enjoy a stay in the spacious safari tent. Inside you will find a living area with a dining table and chairs, plus cooking equipment. There is also a double bedroom plus a bunk bedroom, both with linen included. Outside is a veranda with a table and chairs for al fresco dining too. All guests will have access to a range of communal facilities. For all of your cooking needs, there is a sheltered kitchen area, along with a fire pit and BBQ! The site is a member of the Greener Camping Club, meaning at least one member of your party must have a membership. A tree is planted for each booking made, part of the site's eco credentials. The facilities are off-grid and eco toiletries are even included to ensure no harm to the local wildlife. Please note, this site is dog free.
Rainbow Retreat is open from 01/04 to 29/09.
Site facilities include eco loos and showers with eco friendly shampoo, conditioner and body wash included. There is a communal kitchen with a washing up area and space for eating, cooking and relaxing. Guests can also enjoy access to a fire pit and BBQ with wood available to purchase.
Exeter is within a ten minute drive, full of shops and eateries. Tesco Express is a five minute drive away for picking up essentials. The Travellers Rest is the closest pub to the site, a 35 minute walk away.

I came to Exeter for a little break and loved how close this site is to the centre for shopping and site seeing, but loved coming back to this beautiful woodland campsite to spend the night. The sound of the birds really did echo amongst the trees and it was such a delight to have a shower in the woodland shower, lovely products and warm water. The site was clean and im looking forward to returning when i can. I will certainly recommend this campsite to my friends as it was such a wonderful place to stay and the owners were very helpful and knowledgeable about the area too.
