About the site
An ideal base for days exploring Exeter and evenings around the campfire. This small, 7.5 acre woodland site provides an immersive nature experience 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 seven non electric grass pitches dotted around the woodland. Each pitch offers privacy. 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 14/04 to 30/09.

Luke rang to warn us that the very, very wet weather meant that we would have to walk down a very muddy path to our site. We didn't mind this and Luke was very helpful, taking lots of our kit down for us on a wheelbarrow. A new, stone path is going to be laid down later this month and that will improve the site enormously. The camp kitchen is well set up and located, but would benefit from hot water for washing up. The shower was nice and warm. The shower block is work in progress and will be much better when there is also a sink for cleaning teeth etc. The location was very pretty and peaceful, filled with the sound of birdsong, but little else. Our pitch was actually not grass, but wood chippings and this was a life saver, given the weather we had! It was very even and flat and the pegs went in easily - so the tent went up super quickly, which was great. All in all, a lovely location for a campsite which will be 5 stars all round when the last few bits have been finished off.
So peaceful fell asleep listening to the birds was bliss

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 I'm 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.
Loved this site

Lovely location in the woods, very charming. The hosts were very helpful and happy to share their knowledge of the local area. The facilities were extremely clean and the site was well kept. I enjoyed my stay and will definitely come back again.
