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.

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.
This website has lots of ideas for days out and more in Devon and there is a leaflet which is available from us.
