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.

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

We booked for 1 night whilst in Devon with my husband, our four children (aged between 8 and 15) and two dogs. Location, wow, the location is brilliant and the views are stunning! The sunset and sunrise was picturesque. The facilities, by far has the best toilets we have ever used/seen on a campsite, very clean and well maintained. They have showers which have hot running water, a wash up area for dishes/clothes and a cute old phone box which has been made into a nook of goodies where you can buy eggs, fire wood, necessities, as well as borrowing books & games. There is a fire pit with surrounding seating for all to use, as well as a tree swing and plenty of benches to use dotted around. Our pitch, the ground was nice and flat, making it perfect for pitching and there was plenty of space between pitches. We had an 8 man bell tent, as well as our 7 seater parked next to our tent, with plenty of room between. Cleanliness, the site is very well maintained and very clean. They also have recycling bins there. The only downside, which isn't the camp's fault is the pylon. Definitely a bargain for what you get and we would definitely stay again for a peaceful break.

FAQ

Firepits are encouraged at Exeter View Stables for the ultimate camping experience. Onsite is a great communal fire pit where everyone is welcome or bring your own fire or BBQ. Please ensure that they are kept off the ground and that you do not take branches as this can damage the local wildlife. Please bring your own firewood or buy from the site.

Exeter View Stables welcomes well behaved dogs for camping and touring, so long as they are kept on leads at all times.

You can bring an awning and/or pup tent, but no gazebos are permitted at Exeter View Stables.


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.
