Haldon Forest Holiday Park is a family-owned touring and camping park at Clapham, about five miles from Exeter in Devon and a mile or so from the woodland and bike trails of Haldon Forest Park. Set in the green River Kenn valley, it takes tents, caravans, motorhomes and small campervans, with 10 amp electric hook-ups, hardstanding pitches and dogs welcome. Facilities are a strong point for a countryside park of this size: three modern heated toilet and shower blocks with free hot water, up-to-date laundry, a children's playground and picnic areas. That mix makes it a comfortable base for families and cyclists heading into the 3,500-acre forest, and a handy stopover for tourers exploring Devon, though anyone wanting a seaside pitch should note this is an inland valley site rather than a coastal one. Exeter is close for the cathedral, shops and the quay, while Dartmoor and the south Devon coast are both within reach for day trips. The trails at Haldon Forest Park suit walkers, mountain bikers and families, with waymarked routes and forest activities nearby. Haldon Forest Holiday Park opens from late March to late September and is best booked directly with the park. Come for easy access to the forest and Exeter rather than a beach on the doorstep.
Yes, dogs are welcome at Haldon Forest Holiday Park. With the trails of the 3,500-acre Haldon Forest Park about a mile away and the River Kenn valley all around, there is superb dog walking on the doorstep. Keep dogs under control on the park and clear up after them on the site and forest paths.
