Set in a forest clearing on the Blackdown Hills in Devon, between Cullompton and Honiton, Forest Glade Holiday Park provides everything you need for a family holiday or a quiet break out of season. Holiday caravans, camping pods and level sheltered touring pitches set in spacious fields are surrounded by 300 acres of pine forest.
We offer self-catering holiday caravans for weekly stays and short breaks. Sleeping up to 6 in 2 bedrooms they make an ideal base from which to explore East Devon, Exmoor, Dartmoor and local towns and cities such as Exeter, Honiton and Taunton. Some of our holiday caravans are pet-friendly.
Touring caravans, motor homes and tents are welcome on our flat, sheltered pitches. Many have electric hook-ups and we have hard standings and grass pitches available.
Our big camping field, the Five Acre Field, is great for families, groups of friends, scouts, guides, and rallies. Pets are welcome. We use this mainly in the summer holidays.
Our camping pods have been specially designed for us. Sleeping up to 4 they are a cosy alternative to camping.
Facilities on the park include a free covered heated swimming pool, shop with off-licence and take away, children's play areas, games room, tennis court and forest walks.
Our central amenities building provides free hot showers, family and parent and baby rooms, washing up facilities, a laundry room and a campers kitchen. WiFi is available, at a charge, and covers most of the main park.
As peace and quiet is an important ingredient of a holiday at Forest Glade, we do not have a club, bar or evening entertainment. There are however several excellent local pubs, the nearest being 2.5 miles away.
Forest Glade is an ideal centre for a holiday in the countryside, touring the Westcountry or exploring rural Devon. Numerous lanes, little changed over the years, wind their way through the beautiful countryside. You will see why the Blackdown Hills is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
For those who wish to leave their cars behind there are some lovely walks to choose from, both in the forest and out into the surrounding countryside, with views across the Culm Valley towards Exmoor, Dartmoor and the East Devon coast.
Because of its unique position Forest Glade guests have easy access to the whole of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, including Exmouth with its two miles of sandy beaches to Lyme Regis with its famous harbour. North Devon, Barnstaple and Minehead are within easy reach, as is South Devon and parts of Cornwall.
We are right in the middle of the Devon countryside so some of the lanes approaching the park are narrow and winding.
