Haldon Forest Holiday Park: Electric tent pitches

General

  • Valley site among mature trees and landscaped ponds
  • A mile from Haldon Forest Park
  • Playground and modern toilet and shower blocks

Pitching up in the River Kenn valley, on a park surrounded by Devon woodland and countryside, with mature trees and landscaped ponds complete with resident ducks… does this sound like it might fit the bill? If so, take your flock to Haldon Forest Holiday Park, five miles from Exeter and just a mile from the woodland and bike trails of the 3500-acre Haldon Forest Park.

Haldon Forest has a playground on the park for kids to go out on a limb under the watchful eye of more mature types; like most of the facilities here, the playground was installed back in 2010.

The site also has up to date laundry facilities, plus three modern toilet and shower blocks with heating and free hot water. All in all, you’ll surely find this park all that it’s quacked up to be…

    The pitches are large and so you don't feel on top of your neighbours.
    The setting and views are wonderful, peaceful and quiet.
    The family owners are friendly and helpful.
    There is a well equipped shop on site and the prices are very good.
    There is an outside bar on site, under cover serving a good selection of drinks and very good quality food.
    Large play area with climbing frames and swings.

    Disliked: 

    Not so much a dislike but, the shower and toilet blocks are in need of refurbishment.
    No floor broom wiper blades for users to sweep over the floor after using the showers.
    Water to the showers are controlled by a push button and only provides water for some 5 seconds before needing to push again.

    The pitches were a good size and the kids playground was a welcome location for the kids to be. Having the central 'pub' with live music made it festive on the weekend. The bins were emptied frequently and the bathrooms cleaned regularly as well.

    I was really impressed with the size of the pitches, they were huge! Great space between the pitches and loads of room for children to play safely. The park was fab too, popular by the younger children. The football pitch was an added bonus, even if it needed some attention.
    Having the onsite pub was fab. The pizzas were a winner with everyone. Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening there were singers performing, they were fab and had finished by 10:30pm which is the curfew for quiet time. However there was no-one patrolling and one night I had to go ask our neighbours to be quiet at 12:30am!!!
    Shop sold the basic supplies and opened twice a day.
    there were water taps everywhere so getting water was easy. Loved the fact that there were fire extinguishers every few camping pitches.

    Disliked: 

    The showers and toilet blocks were awful. Really dirty, toilet roll on the floor, hair in each sink, cobwebs with dead flies and spiders (I know we are in the countryside and can expect spiders, they do not bother me its the fact that they had been there for months that did). I only knew it had been cleaned once, could smell the bleach and see the wet floor (I was there 9 nights). The corners hadn't ever seen any sort of cleaning product, the showers had hair in the drains, the slip mats were filthy dirty, there was shampoo (or at least I think it was) on the walls of the showers.
    The taps had to be held down consistently for water, which is quite difficult when you're trying to wash.
    There were 2 toilet blocks, 1 with just toilets in in the bottom field and 1 in the top field next to the pub with 4 showers, 4 toilets and 4 sinks. This was no where near enough for the amount of people camping there. people were queuing to use the facilities.
    I dreaded using the toilet/shower facilities.

Local attractions

Bring the bikes to Devon or hire wheels at Haldon Forest Park to take full advantage of the miles of woodland mountain bike and cycle trails for various levels of ability.

Discovery trails, play equipment and several walking trails are also in the forest park including the circular Butterfly Trail and the easy-rated Mamhead Sensory Trail with gorgeous views along the Jurassic Coast and over the Exe estuary. A ten mile horse riding trail is also around for more relaxed forest sightseeing, with horse riding of a different type at the forest’s Exeter Racecourse.

Dartmoor National Park, with more hacking, hiking and biking as well as tor climbing, guided walks and geocaching, is a short drive from the holiday park. It has regular events throughout the year, towns and villages to take in, the famous Dartmoor ponies to spot and Dartmoor Zoo with meerkats, monkeys, lions and more.

Bring binoculars along with the bikes: the forest park and surrounding area are wildlife havens, with rare birds of prey and wild deer in the forest itself and birdwatching a few miles away at the Site of Special Scientific Interest the Exe Estuary: watch oystercatchers showing excellent culinary taste in breaking open mussels at Bull Hill or take a trip to the nature reserve at Dawlish Warren at the estuary’s mouth. If you’re bringing along the bikes, the National Cycle Network Exe Estuary Trail runs to Exmouth from Dawlish.

The sublime sand of Dawlish Warren is one of several South Devon sandy stretches, with the beaches at Teignmouth, Exmouth and Torbay within easy distance of Haldon Forest and the coastal towns of Torquay and Paignton a little further along the coast. Exmouth is the place to don the wetsuit as it’s known for watery sports of all types including diving, windsurfing and sailing; it’s also a gateway town to the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.

Finally, a stay at Haldon Forest has to include a day or two in Exeter to see its twelfth century cathedral, medieval Guildhall and famous historic quayside with antique shops, restaurants, canoe and boat trips and events such as dragon boat racing and guided tours.
