 We stayed at this site for four nights in a motorhome. The site is clean and tidy. We had no issue with any of the washing and toilet facilities, especially with the coronavirus issues the site has to deal with. Going by other comments, the site seems to have been upgraded somewhat. The dog walk was newly fenced with three shut gates. There is a picnic area too.
The downside we thought and also a few other tourers was the pitches were not very generous compared to elsewhere and for the price.
The TV reception is a bit hit and miss. One night we could get everything, the next night BBC had disappeared. The site WiFi is not great and only allows one item to be connected, which meant my wife was not able to connect after I used the code. Which if there are two people with different email addresses is bit of a pain.
If you are in a motorhome and do not want to pack up and travel around, there is limited options as far as footpaths go. The only real path leads eventually to nice pub. It is right on the edge of Dartmoor and the A30, so handy for a stopover on the way elsewhere. A couple of nights which I believe to be the minimum would suffice. If you can avoid pitches 49 and 50. They are right opposite the waste dump, shower block entrance and by a path. The toilets are on a septic tank which gets emptied about once a week.

We think this is a gem of a site (found on UK Campsite sight unseen) and will definitely stay again when in the area. Where we were the pitches were only divided by raised beds but plenty big enough not to be on top of your closest neighbour.
TV reception very poor but mainly due to the local geography, we managed to watch a bit of TV before falling into bed and how great not to have intrusive lighting about the park. Maybe a project for the future would be to install a master aerial with distribution system as some other parks have.
Facilities in the main very good and clean, though watch out for the naughty sensor showers - you may think you have turned it off only to have it start again as you wrap your towel round you - this happened to me! Perfectly quiet and peaceful for proper grown ups.
Website directions actually do get you there and the welcome, care and attention of the owners is second to none.

This site may have a platinum award for the loos. The Wcs are clean and tidy but the showers were obviously not included. We all appreciate that the shower should have a fixed timer to prevent them being left running but 5 Secs is ridiculous. ( it was timed!)
Comments on their website which state the facilities are some of the best on the country is delusional. In fact I would say that comparing sites based on price the showers are amongst the dirtiest.
Unsanitary loo brushes
Rusty mouldy floor water scrapers
Rusty walls due to metal quadrant between walls and floor upstands. The floors are unhealthily mouldy and where there’s mould there’s bacteria
Clingy shower curtains which have mould all along bottom hem.
The washing up area and laundry are WC are very clean and tidy
This site is very neat and tidy and as such we cannot understand why the showers are dirty. It just spoilt this site where there are very good points
There is a comment in the visitors book that the showers were disgusting. Instead of looking at the showers and providing a genuine reply. It has just been written that there is a “platinum award. “ as though this means that nothing will be wrong. Comments are not made in malice but genuine feedback in an effort to improve the facilities. All we can say is open your eyes ! Photos of ladies and men’s showers were taken.
The pitches do not have any Hedging between them and therefore to ensure you are not disturbing anyone you have to keep windows closed and blinds down for privacy. The services on the pitch again near and tidy and all borders VERY straight maybe a little OCD which again defies the cleanliness of the showers.
In conclusion :
Washing facilities are paramount to us booking a site and can make or break the quality of the site. Don’t rely on website descriptions because obviously our idea of clean is not the same as theirs

Good sized well-maintained pitches in a quiet environment. Facilities were fine although the push-button controls were very variable in duration.
The dog exercise field is fine although it's not totally fenced in and our dog could chase rabbits into the adjacent field.
There's a stagnant ditch which our dog managed to find. Fortunately we always have fox-poo shampoo on board.
We would be pleased to return here as it's convenient for touring the north of Dartmoor and the coast.

One of the best and well kept sites I have visited, toilet block exceptionally clean, pitches well laid out and immaculate.
5 Star site in all respects from ease of booking to facilities available at a competitive price.

We were here for a short weekend break attracted by the fact that it is adult only and not wanting to run the gauntlet at other more family orientated sites - been there, done that?!?
This is a wonderful little park with friendly owners and good clean facilities. Everything is within easy reach and access both around and to the site is good.
There are a number of very good pubs nearby and plenty of attractions if you're so inclined. The location next to the beauty of Dartmoor is excellent.
This is a wonderful quiet site and we will be returning.

We've just returned from a week at Woodland Springs, our second visit as we liked it so much when we spent a week there last year. Despite some pretty foul weather the toilet block was always immaculate, no muddy footprints etc!
As we are tenters the cleanliness of the toilets, showers, and washing up area are very important to us and we wouldn't have returned for a second visit if they hadn't been immaculate.
The whole site is well managed by the owners Chris and Jan who are very friendly and helpful, and they are a good source of information about the area.

A very pleasant, well run and maintained adults only site with large pitches most bordered by attractive trees and shrubs. The log cabin shower/toilet block is spacious and scrupulously clean.
For dog lovers there is a large, mown field surrounded by woods for free running. We booked for a week, taking advantage of the 7 for 5 offer, but stayed for a fortnight.
Central position for exploring Dartmoor and the south and north of the county. Altogether very pleasant stay and highly recommended.

The site is clean and tidy, toilet and showers also. Pitches are smaller than expected with only a small strip of grass next to gravelled hard standing.
WIFI didn't work and after 4days they finally gave a refund. TV reception was very bad, only 1 channel clear enough to watch.
No shop only pre order of bread/milk etc.

Chose this site as it's handy for Exeter and the National Park. Easy to find from A30 no narrow lanes to negotiate from there.
Clean and well maintained site with good facilities. Adult only but we have no problems with kids. We didn't have any problems with dogs as some reviewers mentioned.
On the down side this was the most expensive site that we have visited with the smallest pitches which I would describe as adequate rather than generous.
£8. 00 for late departure, no point in leaving at 11;00am if visiting only for the weekend so we had to pay that. £2. 00 per day for WiFi (we can live without that)and £2. 50 each 'day charge' if we had invited our daughters (adults) to the site for a meal are charges that are free elsewhere.
There is a £1. 00 off per day voucher on the website but that is for any balance to paid on arrival, as we were asked to pay fully in advance this would have been difficult to redeem.
Gate locked at 11. 00pm to 7:30 am means you can't leave in case of an emergency without calling the owner.

This was our second visit to woodland springs, the attraction for this adult only campsite is the great location for trips to Dartmoor with the lovely views, walks & wildlife that Dartmoor offers.
We stayed for 7 nights with our new tent and this time our 2 dogs, the dog exercise field was great for our dogs (which cannot be off their leads) on a few occasions other dog owners had not cleaned up after their dogs which we feel is unfair, this responsibility should be the dog owners as the bin to put the bags in is just as you leave the field, we feel it was just laziness of the dogs owners and definitely not Chis or Jans responsibilty to clean up.
The site showers & toilets are the cleanest we seen, always hot water and never a queue to use, the washing up facilities are superb and very clean. There is a washing machine & dryer to use with tokens to be purchased from Chris or Jan from the small but essential stocked shop, with fresh bread which can be ordered every morning, fresh milk, cold cider etc.
There is a information hut where there is a variety of information regarding the area plus a freezer to use, coffee machine that has a lovely fresh coffee very reasonable priced.
The site is well maintain and nothing is to much trouble for the owners both are very knowledgeable of the area and will offer advice if/when asked including weather, finding times of high tides or which beach is best to take dogs to. The pitches are very spacious with small trees or shrubs separating the pitches, the site do like you to recycle and this is very clearly marked on each bin. This is all found in the welcome pack you receive on arrival, wifi is availed at an extra cost.
There are a couple of lovely pubs to have a quiet drink in and serve lovely food.
This site is perfect for seeing Devon and we will be back in August with our 2 dogs and for 14 nights this time.

We've just returned from a simply stunning 4 night break at Woodland Springs - we re-booked for another later in the year before we left.
The main selling point is the actual peace & quiet- we love kids - have had them, got the grandchildren & all the relevant T-shirts, but nothing beats a few days away with simply stunning views & no ball games!
The site is immaculate. The hedges were being trimmed (& there are a lot) which did add some afternoon noise! We had intended going all over the area, but confess the weather was so good, on 2 days, we merely slipped out to a pub for meals. The site is SO clean, as are the toilet/shower blocks - which are kept open when cleaning is going on (unlike some sites where you are told to come back later!).
We often stay in the New Forest, & now use 'green pods' all the time, so the toilet rule re what to put in it, was no problem, & shouldn't be for anyone nowadays. When I needed milk - the shop had run out, so I ordered one for the evening - but about 30 minutes later, up comes Chris (owner) to our pitch with milk freshly purchased from the local farm! That's service.
The pitch itself was plenty wide enough, & deep enough - having read through these reviews, I'm under the impression folk will moan about anything! We sat on the grass, in our chairs, with our well behaved dogs under a UV sun umbrella.
We sampled 3 different meals out in 3 different pubs, but intend going back to The Drew Arms in Drewsteignton as it was SO good.
The shop sold delicious ice-cream, & we tried 5 of the different flavours - yes, the shop is open limited hours, but just watch how hard the 2 owners work - it really is not necessary to have it open all day long.
The information lodge was stacked with leaflets, walks etc, & the coffee machine was very tempting - but we now have our own small bean to cup machine!
I wouldn't fault anything (apart from the loud diesel noise from the hedge cutter - but when could it be done on a 7 day per week, all year round site? - we fully understood!)
Can't wait to go back - hopefully to late autumn sunshine!

Well, there were some great bits to this site and some. Well, not so great.
My party con sited of me my wife and out little jack russel Joe
The site is immaculate and well maintained with little extras such as a laundry and information centre
The shop on site was just a wooden shed only opened a certain times of the day. There was a service they provided for pre ordering bread I ordered some great croissants they were nice. Only to find out that on our trip to the local town I found out they had come from lidl and they were cheaper in store. Not happy with that.
The staff were very welcoming when I arrived
I quite agree with another reviewer, the site has got a very big welcome pack its more like a book it took my wife about 30min to read the thing before we could properly settle down and start our holiday.
There was no hedge or boarder to speak of between the vans just a few pots placed here and there.
The shower and toilet block was very well cleaned and maintained showers were free and lovely and hot only downfall you had to keep pressing the shower button every so often as it went off not the best when you have shampoo on your head and your trying to find the button with your eyes closed.
My wife also noticed the owner going around with a sprayer like backpack spraying everywhere which I presumed was weedkiller I was annoyed at this because I took my dog for walks on the path in witch they was seen spraying I had to wash his feet as they became sore.
An ok site but not the best we have stayed at
We would stay here again if we were heading to cornwall but only as a one night stop.

Excellent site with easy access. Medium size pitches, some all weather, some grass. Very faint road noise in far distance. Overall, 9* but with a couple of small negatives.
The toilets only had 4 cubicles and no urinals for the men. Also only 2 showers in each of men's and women's block. However, in spite of a virtually full site, there was never any congestion. The water in the shower was hot enough but one had to keep pressing the button every 6/8 seconds which was a bit annoying especially for my wife when she wanted to wash her hair.
A small shop with basic things in reception and also delicious fresh bread in the morning. Very friendly wardens.
Good dog exercise area (nearly everyone had dogs) and a 25 minute walk to a dog-friendly pub across the fields with really good food.
Would definitely visit again if in the area.
