About Exeter View Stables
Small and relaxed with fantastic views of the Devon countryside, this is the perfect off-grid site to unwind - whilst only minutes from the city too! There's just a small number of camping and glamping so that guests have their own space and privacy. So it will never feel crowded. The spacious, level grass pitches are suitable for both tents and campervans. Being off-grid, eco-friendly facilities such as compost loos are just nearby. The site also offers a rustic wooden hut if you fancy some glamping too. The cosy, compact, off-grid wooden hut offers amazing views and basic essentials, including a sofa bed (that pulls out to a double) and kitchenette. BBQs are welcome here. Firewood, as well as freshly laid eggs by the on-site chickens, are available to buy. With many attractions nearby, books to borrow and outstanding Devon scenery, this is the perfect little haven. Well behaved dogs welcome (please keep on leads).
Exeter View Stables is open from 17/03 to 14/10.
Eco-friendly facilities include an eco compost loo and a hot shower with a large changing room. There are board games and books to borrow, an outdoor washing-up area and picnic tables.

Great campsite on the rolling hills just outside Exeter. Was very remote and peaceful, but still good phone reception. The welcome was warm and friendly and the facilities as advertised. The showers were clean and had good hot water pressure. The loos are composting and do have an odour that you would associate with this kind of toilet. The only real downside for me was the the electricity pylon that goes across the site and does make a humming noise.
Small or not clearly marked plots

We were hoping for spacious plots. When we went to bed the first night, that was true. However, not sure what the time was, but guess 23:00, a van arrived and set up within a metre of our awning. Maybe it was due to there not being any clear demarcation of the plots, but after that, we certainly did not have a spacious plot. Facilities are basic but okay. However, no hot water to wash up with is a bit disappointing.
Wonderful views but rudimentary facilities and difficult to access

Site has wonderful views across Exeter and the Exe Valley. However, the site is pretty rudimentary. Accessed down a very narrow lane then up a steep rough gravel track. Would not be doable for many larger vehicles and caravans. Pitches are just based grass in a field with no hook up. Toilets are composting ones with sawdust. Loo paper should be put into a bin. Whilst all of this may be what some people want, it was not for us.
Site's response
We're sorry the site was not what you expected. We are advertised as an off grid campsite and as we are 100% solar, we cannot provide hook ups. We do not accept large motorhomes or caravans due to the access.

Things to do on site and in the Exeter area
There's no shortage of things to do nearby. Conveniently located, it's only a five-minute drive (20 minutes walk) to the heart of Exeter City centre. Make a visit to the magnificent cathedral and dig into the area's history.
Follow that up with shopping in local boutiques and marvel at the Tudor buildings.
Dartmoor National Park is also just a 25-minute drive away. Spend the day exploring the woodlands and waterfalls. Go rambling, cycling, letterboxing, horse riding or just picnicking and having fun beside the streams and rivers.
Other things to do:
- Sandy Exmouth beach
- Crealy Theme Park and Resort
