Dog-friendly site 10 minutes’ drive away from Sidmouth
Surrounded by trails and a 35-minute drive from Dartmoor National Park
Firepit and log bundles for hire, and hot showers provided

If you’re keen on the sound of a simple getaway with ample bike rides, campfires and beach days (among other things), there will be some smiling faces at Forest Edge. This tree-lined rural setting is within the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where walks and cycle routes weave past the likes of woodlands, open heaths and river valleys. There’s a lot that’ll turn your head locally, aside from that. Sidmouth, a scenic seaside resort with Regency architecture, a beach and pretty hikes to Peak Hill, is only a 10-minute drive away from Forest Edge. This town is known as the gateway to the Jurassic coast, so you could soon be hunting down fossils and sheer cliffs. Handily, it’s a five-minute drive to Ottery St Mary, a pretty handy town (known fondly by locals as Ottery) with a good number of independent shops, as well as a supermarket. If you’d rather have a pint of something local, the local pub is only a 20-minute walk in the opposite direction to Ottery St Mary. If you’re back after 10pm, it’s quiet time in the designated quiet zones on site (so that families and other sleepy guests can get their important shut-eye). You may very well be ready to hit the hay after exploring the 30 acres of wild land surrounding Forest Edge or visiting local National Trust properties. Earlier on, feel free to hire a firepit and log bundle from the site, which includes firelighters and kindling. Fresh water points, a toilet block and hot showers make up the site’s other very handy facilities. Dogs are very welcome here, just as long as they’re kept on a lead at all times within the site.

What customers say

Spacious, private pitches in a peaceful, natural setting. Clean facilities, friendly owners, and quiet vibe. Recent upgrades impressive, though a few noted minor hot water/basin size issues. Beautiful wildflowers and handy location.

Primitive grass and earth campsite

Liked Really spacious pitches and a lovely location. Woodlands nearby made for great walks. Dog friendly and a nice place to explore. Staff were so so welcoming and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay.

Disliked Washing up water was cold, which made it difficult to clean things (and painful for the hands). Only hot water was in the showers

Primitive grass and earth campsite

Liked Fantastic 1 nights stay here in our campervan. The pitches were huge, campsite was really clean and well kept . Manager was friendly. Toilet and shower facilities were immaculate. (We didn't use the showers as we were going straight home but took a look when using the loo's! ) A treat to wake up to snow too! Looks beautiful on the site! Excellent pub up the road for food . Great and convenient location. We will definitely return:)

Disliked Nothing!

Primitive grass and earth campsite

Liked De ontvangst was zeer hartelijk en de uitleg die we kregen zeer uitgebreid. Het was zeer rustig op de camping (laagseizoen)

Disliked Het was redelijk frisjes in de douches (het was wel stevig aan het vriezen)

Local attractions

Fancy a good hike? Pull on your outdoor gear and make a beeline for Dartmoor National Park (35 minutes’ drive). The craggy landscape has heaps of walking trails and wandering Dartmoor ponies, as well as the occasional Neolithic tomb and medieval farmhouse. Finding lush outdoor scenery is rather easy, what with all of the gorgeous scenery around the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Alpaca trekking (10 minutes) is a unique way to take it in (and spend a couple of hours with a bunch of - possibly - hilarious animals). Donkeys provide the dramatics at The Donkey Sanctuary (10 minutes) in Sidmouth; plus, there’s the bonus that they’re being very well cared-for thanks to the funding of visitors. Shoot down the log flume or pay a visit to the family of meerkats at Crealy Theme Park & Resort (20 minutes) too.
