Overnight stop with grumpkids between Warminster and Exeter (ish)

Not having done much in the Uk for a number of years, the daughter has been allowed to borrow our motorhome for a week at a site we used for a number of years just outside Newquay.
She can travel with us on the Wednesday/Thursday/Friday with her 2.5 children aged 6, 4 and -4 months with her hubby going down on the Friday night in their vehicle after work but we have to travel back (motorbike or car on the Friday but collect and return on the saturday after (which i am so looking forward to)
We are looking for a site, dont care how small or large, (but i do care about cost) anywhere around those areas or even as far as Bodmin but in the sticks and not on the coast as dont want to get to Cornwall too early, in fact i dont want to be there !
Ideally near or within walking distance of a playground or something interesting, would consider a britstop

Anybody with any knowledge of nice peaceful spot for the night ?

Daughter With young twins loves Parker’s Farm ashburton - close to the main road but a tractor to play on and alpacas only the field. Little ones loved the ‘farm walk’ where they accompany the farmer and sheep on a lead and each get a fresh egg.. . Not sure if that bit will be on the menu this year | it is pleasant, if a bit steep - no idea of cost off hand

1st for camping, touring & holiday caravans - Parkers Farm Holiday Park

Parkers Farm Holiday Park offers Camping, Touring Caravan pitches, Motorhome pitches & Static Holiday Caravans in a great Devon Location.

Welcome back to ripoff England.
What joy to stop off for a night and pay an arm and leg for it.
Rant over

I hear you brother !

Apart from the campsites we decided to stay on for the first 10 days whilst we tested the temperature of the water, we spent 34 euros on aires, 32 of them on the moselle and 2 on port by the canal. The other 7 days were free.

So roughly one night in UK or 13 days in Europe for a similar price. But it is what it is and i may be told by the powers that be that we are going there as a treat for the kids.

oh crumbs! that is quite a lot - especially if the play and food facilities are closed
for me it’s about seeing the grandchildren and spending ‘holiday’ time with them... and dog sitting so they can visit the zoo and such. And it’s beyond Exeter -
