The morning light filters through ancient oak and beech canopy, dappling your pitch in shifting patterns of gold and green, while wood pigeons coo their gentle rhythm above this secluded Devon glade.
This is proper back-to-basics camping for those who relish simplicity and woodland serenity. Tucked into Devon's patchwork countryside, Foxhole Glade welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to pitches embraced by mature trees and birdsong. Whether you're seeking a digital detox or introducing little ones to their first night under canvas, the leafy seclusion here creates that rare commodity: genuine peace. The South West's rolling hills, market towns and dramatic coastlines lie within exploring distance, but you may find the glade itself holds you captive.
Facilities are refreshingly straightforward—hot showers and clean toilets serve campers well without unnecessary frills. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so enquire when you pitch up if you're hoping for evening flames. The atmosphere is woodland-quiet and unpretentious, the kind of place where you rediscover why camping felt magical in the first place.
