Forest Glade Holiday Park

Alan Rogers Review of Forest Glade Holiday Park

Forest Glade, immaculately managed, owned and run by the Wellard family, is set in a forest clearing on the Blackdown Hills (designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), deep in mid-Devon away from the hectic life on the coast.

A sheltered site set amongst woodland with extensive walking opportunities, there are 80 level touring pitches, 62 of which have 10 amp electricity connections, 2 with full services and 39 with hardstanding. Touring caravans and large motorhomes must be booked in advance when the most straightforward route will be advised (phone bookings accepted). Although set in the countryside, the beaches of East Devon are a reasonably easy drive away.

There is a small, heated, covered pool with a paddling pool, sauna and patio area outside, and a large games room (up a flight of steps, so not suitable for visitors with disabilities). There is also a soft play area for children. The surrounding 300 acres of forest makes this a nature and dog-lovers’ paradise (dogs are accepted). The owners have also developed a nature trail and wildlife pond.
