What customers say
This secluded, single-pitch site is praised for its quiet, peaceful atmosphere and beautiful forest views. Guests highlight the thoughtful amenities, including a private toilet and washing-up area, electricity hook-up, and fire pit. The location offers excellent access to Forest of Dean walks and cycle trails. The friendly and accommodating host, Vince, is frequently mentioned. While no showers are available, this is clearly stated and not an issue for most. Minor points raised include late check-in times and occasional road noise.

Great spot for a quiet night.
Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked Amazing find. Just a small park up next to a house. No other campers. Communication was great. Didn't see or hear the people living in house. You are completely seperate and private. Cute little hut for toilet. Picnic table available. Nice and quiet area. No shower but this did not bother us as was only 1 night.
Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Perfect, what more can I say.…
Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked Perfect, what more can I say. We were greeted by Vince on arrival with a lovely ''and relax'' which is what we did. This is a wonerful little spot for an overnight stop and longer if you have a shower on board. Only a short drive to the Cycle center at F.O.D too. Thank you Vince we will be back in the future.

Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely quiet level hard standing pitch next to a babbling brook and the Forest of Dean. Situated next to the owners property but with total privacy. All the amenities you could need kept immaculately (except for no shower clearly stated on the booking).
We loved our stay here.

Vince is an ideal host, brilliant spot for a stay. Recommended.
Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked This pitch was absolutely ideal for us with our roof top tent, secluded and peaceful with more than we expected in way of amenities, stand alone lavatory, sink unit, picnic bench and above all fresh eggs.
We used it as a base to cycle all around the area and had a wonderful time.
