Samantha D.

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.

Jane C.

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.

Serena S.

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.

Disliked Nothing 🙂

Bob W.

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.

Gail M.

Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked You arrive to a single pitch with your own toilet, washing up sink, dining area and firepit. Alongside this is a storage shed with access to electricity (should you need it) and other essentials such as first aid kit.
Vince was there to welcome us with advice on the best route to walk our dogs. You are on the doorstep of the beautiful forest of Dean. The location is rural, private and lovely. Cannot fault. We stayed one night and would definitely return. No showers but that wasn't an issue for us.

Disliked Nothing

From the manager: Great to hear you enjoyed your stay with is Gail! Really appreciate you taking the time to review. Just after i spoke with you guys about the wild boar, there was one just on the common just out infront minutes later... but disappeared in a blink. Maybe catch a sighting next time 😊

Perfect, peaceful secluded spot close to nature.

Amanda W.

Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked A peaceful, private spot with all the amenities you need. We took our pooch and headed off in to the forest from the pitch up. Vince was easily contactable and offered his support if we needed it….but we didn’t. Outside wash up area, tap, hose, toilet, wood burner and access to electric hookup if you need it. There is a separate utility garage at your disposal for storage/drying needs which we didn’t use. Even though it is next to someone’s home it is well shielded and we did not feel overlooked.

Disliked Nothing. We will definitely return.

Local attractions

If you’re happy to explore the local area on foot, access the Wysis Way direct from your pitch for explorations of the Forest of Dean or longer tramps to the Severn Vale. Another local walk leads through Edgehills Nature Reserve (40 minutes’ walk) to St Antony’s Well (90 minutes), where you can cool off with a dip in a spring that’s thought to date from medieval times. Slightly further afield, outdoor adventures might take you to the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (10 minutes’ drive) for kayaking trips down the River Wye, or challenging cycling trails that lead to the landmark Symonds Yat Rock (two hours and 40 minutes by bike from your pitch). Looking for days out with the kids? Discover the wacky installations along the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail (10 minutes’ drive), or the moss-covered rocks and trees lining walkways at the mysterious Puzzlewood (15 minutes), where there’s also a small farm with donkeys to cuddle. When more high-octane activity is needed, involve the whole family in an active day on treetop rope courses and zipwires at Go Ape Mallards Pike (also 15 minutes).
