Camping pod
Liked: Really loved the shower facilities lovely and warm. The pod we stayed in was brand new hot warm fast and mattress was comfortable
Disliked: Beds were a little squeaky I think that’s because they were new.

Liked: Think this was my fourth stay and as enjoyable as ever. Only an hours drive from home so used it as a shakedown for the season. Facilities top notch as ever. Grass was not unexpectedly a bit waterlogged, but with the owners help got the tent and van set up so that was not an issue. Love that the site is a 20min walk into Coleford and the Forest is fully accessible. Had an enjoyable bike ride to Clearwell caves and Puzzlewood despite rain and hailstorms enroute
Disliked: Drive onto the camp is a short but steep climb but plenty of caravans on site so can't be a big issue.

Liked: The park was really clean and beautiful kept. Nice facilities with everything we needed. Price was excellent and all pitches marked out and electric easy to get to. Recycling facilities were nice to see as was the information on how to save water when washing up etc. Breakfast rolls were a nice touch.

Liked: Unfortunately the weather had taken a turn for the worst before our arrival, we where accommodated very well by the owners and a place was found for us to stay on site. Lots of walkers to do from the site which was good because we took are 2 dogs and lots of places to visit without travelling to far with our granddaughters 2 , 7 years old. This was a great place to stay toilet facilities very clean options of breakfast from reception, we will definitely be returning

From the manager: Oh gosh - what a wet weekend that was! We were so impressed with your determination to enjoy your visit despite the most challenging weather - thank you for being such wonderful guests!

Camping pod
Liked: My Daughter and I were really pleased with the pod we stayed in, it was really warm and comfy. Staff were friendly and welcoming and really good facilities. Lots of lovely places to eat within a few miles.
Disliked: Shame there wasn’t anywhere to hand our coats (it rained) and a mat in the door way to contain the wet and mud.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you so much for your review and recommendation. We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay in the pod and hope to welcome you back in the future. Thank you also for the suggestion of coat hooks and a door mat - this is something that we hadn't thought of and we will be adding these to our 'to-do list' for next season!
Fantastic site, definitely a must for campers

Liked: Lovely compact site with all the amenities you need set in a quiet rural area. Great price. Friendly, helpful staff. Hot drinks and breakfast snacks available in the A.M. (and very tasty!). Good clean toilets and showers maintained daily (lights are motion sensored so be prepared to finish your shower/toilet in the dark!) Great access routes for Tintern Abbey, Monmouth, Chepstow, Forest of Dean and beyond. Would recommend to all and visit again tomorrow.

From the manager: Thanks for the feedback - we are getting ready to re-open so I will look at the light sensors - no one enjoys a shower in the dark! We hope to welcome you back.
