What customers say
This is a highly recommended, secluded single-pitch campsite offering privacy and tranquility, located on the edge of the Forest of Dean. Visitors praise the clean, well-maintained facilities, including a private toilet and washing-up area, and the friendly, helpful host, Vince. Its proximity to forest walks and wildlife is a significant draw. While some minor issues like traffic noise or the toilet's placement were noted, most reviewers found nothing to dislike and expressed a strong desire to return, appreciating the excellent value and thoughtful setup.

Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked We came here for some peace and quiet and that is exactly what we got, what a lovely little pitch, perfect for a little stop over with the added bonus of a toilet, grey waste disposal, fire pit, optional electric and washing up facilities, there is use of a large shed which was great for us as it meant we had a storage area overnight for things like our table, cooker etc and the shed also has electric, Vince is very welcoming and told us about the local walk we could do which we did and it was lovely, we didn’t do anything else because we came just to have a chill, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Just to add although we realise some people don’t want it while they are away but we had 5G! We don’t get that kind of reception at home 😜
