Camping & Touring

We welcome touring caravans, motor homes and tents of all sizes on our touring pitches which are large, flat, sheltered and well drained. We have a large number of hard standings and electricity is available on the majority of pitches. In addition we have two full-service pitches for touring caravans and two for motor homes, which are hard standings with electricity, a water supply and grey water drainage.

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.

Glamping pods in Devon

Glamping in Devon.

Why not try glamping? Our camping pods have been built for us by Gwnnedd Garden Buildings in North Wales. Like little timber tents pods are a cosy, dry alternative to camping - you need to bring all your camping equipment except your tent and airbeds. Just think - no more putting the tent up and down in the wind/rain/dark! We have 2 available to let and they sleep up to 4 people, with a maximum of 3 adults.

Camping pitches in Devon
We use our Five Acre field for camping at busy weekends and in the summer holidays. This grassy field is level and sheltered and there are no marked pitches, or electric hook-ups. Although there is a short walk to the amenities this is proper camping with space and freedom.
We welcome rallies and groups, including guides and scouts on this field. We also take groups and rallies on the main park, if electric hook-ups are required, but only out of season.

Large tents
We can accommodate large tents on some of pitches, both with and without hook-ups. In the Five Acre Field there are no marked pitches so if you are happy to have plenty of space but to be a little further away from the facilities then this is the ideal field for you.

Local Information

Where to go and what to see

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.

How to get to Forest Glade

Please note that if you are towing a touring caravan or heavy trailer or have a large motorcaravan you must use the Honiton/Dunkeswell route.

We are right in the middle of the Devon countryside so some of the lanes approaching the park are narrow and winding. We have detailed the best routes to take below but please do speak with a member of staff if you need help with directions.

Please note that there is no public transport serving the park.
