About Forest Glade Holiday Park

This family-owned and run park is in a forest clearing with well-kept level grounds and beech hedge screening. It's nestled on the Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in rural mid Devon, not far from the Somerset border. One of the main attractions is the 300 acres of pine forest surrounding the park which offers lovely walks with country views. As well as a wealth of bird life you can catch a glimpse of shy deer in this setting. The 26 acre site has 80 touring pitches including 40 hardstandings and 4 fully serviced pitches. There is also a separate camping field for those who prefer space and freedom to pitch where they choose, which is open for busy weekends and during the school summer holidays. Cosy camping pods offer a hassle free alternative to camping, with electric and excellent shelter provided. It's the perfect way to travel light and skip the tent. Pets are welcome on all the pitches but sorry, they cannot stay in the pods. If you fancy a getaway with the family or your other half there are 26 holiday caravans available for self-catering holidays. These are all modern, with a selection offering double glazing and central heating. There are also seasonal pitches for touring caravans available.

Open from 19 March to 15 November
