About Haldon Forest Holiday Park
Pitching up in the River Kenn valley, this woodland-fringed site sits just a mile from the epic bike trails and forest walks of 3,500-acre Haldon Forest Park, making it a brilliant base for families who love the outdoors. Mature trees and landscaped ponds dotted with resident ducks give the place a peaceful, natural feel, while the on-site playground keeps younger campers entertained between adventures. Three modern, heated shower blocks with free hot water serve the pitches well, though some visitors note the facilities can feel a little tired in places.
With both electric and non-electric grass pitches for tents and motorhomes, plus dog-friendly policies year-round and campfires allowed, there's real flexibility here. Exeter's just five miles away for supplies and rainy-day culture, while the surrounding area offers canoeing, climbing, fishing and watersports within easy reach. A proper woodland escape without straying far from civilisation.

What visitors say
Honest review: We were sold by the pitch up photos which certainly make it look a lot newer than what it is. In reality the park is weathered but still actually quote nice, it's a great social space for the kids, ours loved it. The football pitch certainly needs a bit of love too. The WC and shower facilities are clean but could do with a bit TLC, like repairing some seats. A big positive with the showers is you can adjust the temperatures, great for me as I like a hot shower! The shop and on site bar are open for a limited time on Thursday to Sunday plus have a small amount of essentials. This is due to supply and demand, I understand this. Local shops aren't on your doorstep either, they are about a 10 minute drive away. Staff are friendly and leave you alone, can't argue with that. There also seem to be a lot of wasps, but maybe that's also this time of year. All in all we enjoyed out stay so would recommend if you want a down to earth site. It's not quite a 4 star but could be with not a huge amount of effort.

Loved this campsite. We went in our tent and stayed in the first adults only field near pond so enjoyed watching ducks. So peaceful and quiet when we went in early July 2021. Good facilities, good shop but was only open Fri-sun when went but is seasonal. Lots of places nearby to visit including haldon forest Park and Exeter. Definatly would go here again.

Lovely area. Duck pond with lots of ducks and ducklings. Good small shop carrying a large variety of items you may have forgotten. We were lucky to have the motorhome site all to ourselves. Our dogs also enjoyed themselves. Very peaceful and relaxing.

We found this campsite as a last minute booking via pich up.co.uk. We have come across a good one here!! It is set in a beautiful place. It was extremely busy but the site was was kept very clean and tidy, the shower blocks are a good size and have everything you need, the water pressure during busy times in the shower block would be very slow but still good enough to rise your hair and body. There is a bar which has live music on a Friday and Saturday (depending on the amount of people at the campsite) and the drinks are not expensive either!! Love that they offer this service and not rob you blind!! lots of sinks to do all your washing up and loads of outdoor space for the kids to play football, ride bikes and run around. Piches are huge with plenty of space we had a camper van, 4 birth tent, gazebo and wind brakes.The staff was friendly and I would recommend this place to everyone, will definitely be coming back
