Forest Glade Holiday Park

About

Looking for a quiet holiday in a unique countryside location to spend time with your family?  Set in a forest glade on the Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Forest Glade is ideal for families and couples looking for holidays and short breaks deep in the heart of the Devon countryside.

This is the perfect location for experiencing that quintessential British countryside holiday. Be prepared to explore the forest, swim, play football, build dens, go to the beach, toast marshmallows, have chips for tea, send the kids out for penny sweets and then chill listening to bird song while you drift off to sleep.  Generations of the same family have been enjoying holidays here for over 40 years.  Come for a short break and just relax, or stay for longer, spend days on the park and get out and explore the local area.  The site is surrounded by numerous lanes that have changed very little over the years, which wind their way through the beautiful countryside.  Explore and you’ll see why the Blackdown Hills is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Hidden away in a corner of Devon, near the Somerset border, we are just a great place to stay.  There’s so much to see within easy reach of the park – Exmoor, Dartmoor, the Jurassic Coast, market towns, the cathedral city of Exeter, family attractions, nature reserves and historic buildings. Forest Glade is the perfect retreat for those that want to leave the tribulations of their lives behind. Leave the car at home and be at one with nature and explore the many walking trails around the site offering incredible views across the Culm Valley towards Exmoor or Dartmoor.  Because of its unique position, Forest Glade gives its guests easy access to the whole of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage site where there are glorious dramatic coastlines, miles of sandy beaches and heritage attractions.

There’s a whole host of facilities onsite including the free indoor heated pool which is open throughout the season and the sauna which opens out in the pool building. The amenities building has everything you need for a great stay with us, including hot showers, sinks and a laundry room, as well as a family shower room and an accessible room complete with shower, toilet and wash basin. In the camper’s kitchen, you’ll find a microwave, kettle and toaster, as well as veg prep sink, giving you everything you need for a traditional, back to basics camping holiday and a useful facility for those staying in one of the camping pods. A freezer for icepacks is also available for guests to use.  Although the nearest town is just 5.5 miles away we do have a shop well-stocked with all those items you forgot to pack and more.  You can order pastries for breakfast, pasties for lunch or have a night in and order from our take away menu.  Our licensed shop stocks local beers and cider as well as a good selection of wines.  And the pick and mix sweets are one of our most popular lines!

We don’t have a club, bar or any entertainment, but we do have some excellent local pubs if the surrounding nature and the abundant wildlife is entertainment enough.  There isn’t a dedicated kid’s club on site, but children will love the hours they can spend swimming in the pool or getting back to nature in the play areas, where there is space to play a range of ball sports, as well as the 300 acres of woodland which is free to explore.  Family pets are also welcome to join you on your holiday. Because of the rural location, this is the ideal place to escape from the modern world, but should you wish to contact family and friends at home, there is WiFi available throughout the park for a small charge.

Whether you want to camp, glamp, stop over in your camper van or motor home, set up your touring caravan or stay in our self-catering accommodation, Forest Glade is the ideal location.
