Family-friendly Gloucestershire campsite overlooking the Wye Valley
Five minutes’ drive to Symonds Yat; Go Ape Beechenhurst 15 minutes
Forest of Dean walks from the site; shops and pubs five minutes’ drive

Wonderfully spacious, peaceful and encircled by trees, Bracelands Campsite is on the edge of the Forest of Dean near Coleford in Gloucestershire. Firmly in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it’s also close to the border with Wales for family adventures across two countries. Settle in and you’ll soon be in the mood to appreciate all the natural gorgeousness that surrounds this site – look out across the fields and you’ll see you're surrounded by oak, copper beech and pine woodlands. On clear days, watch the sun set over the trees, and wake again in the morning to see light stream through them at daybreak. With all this space around, kids can play and explore their surroundings to their heart’s content. And that goes for all guests, in fact – all you need to do is walk to the edge of the site and you’re in the Forest of Dean, with all its miles of walking and cycling tracks. A few practical bits and pieces: dogs are welcome to come along on your Forest of Dean getaway (although you'll need to keep them on leads on site please), and family-friendly facilities include a laundry room, hot showers and washing-up areas. If you run out of supplies, whizz into Coleford (10 minutes’ drive), which has a couple of mid-size supermarkets, as well as a load of takeaways, pubs and restaurants.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Very friendly welcome on arrival, given a site map and recommendations on the best pitch sites. Toilet block was very clean, all the amenities you could need. A group of a dozen deer also roamed the site when the sunset, it was that peaceful.

Camping pod (pet friendly)

Liked: Tym razem wynajęliśmy domek w którym nic nie było, więc wzięliśmy materace śpiwory wszystko oprócz namiotu. Oczywiście można wynająć domek z łóżkami piętrowymi. Kemping ładny zadbany ,sanitariaty czyste z gorącą wodą. Dużym plusem jest darmowe wifi, dużo miejsca na grę w piłkę i inne zabawy. Polecam ten kemping.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely campsite, staff are very friendly and facilities are clean. Laid back atmosphere and great walks directly from the camp grounds

Disliked: Only thing that I would say that I thought could be an improvement is in the showers there is no bench at the end to put dry clothing and there is also no changing room so it makes getting dressed a bit of a pain as there isn't anywhere to put your stuff but on the floor.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Staff are brilliant, super friendly and helpful. the ability to get out into the forest and the walks are good and you can see the improvements being undertaken.

Disliked: Same issue with out of order showers at the top block and these have been not working for nearly two years. The blocks are looking tired and could do with a lick of paint which I think you could do in the winter months. Hard pitches are so full of weeds you cannot see where the hard pitch is on some slots, a bit of weed killer would sort in out.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Piękny camping otoczony lasem, cisza spokój, czyste sanitariaty, gorąca woda, punkt do zrzutu ciemnej i czarnej wody. duże parcele z prądem lub bez prądu, ludzie w recepcji bardzo mili. Równy teren pod namiotami, śledzie łatwo wchodzą w ziemię. Polecam camping, na pewno wrócimy. Pozdrawiamy, @campingwizja.

Route directions

The route via Symonds Yat Rock over Huntsham Bridge B4432 has a 1:5 gradient incline. It's a very narrow road, unsuitable for large RVs and motorhomes, and difficult for those towing caravans. Vehicles over seven and a half tonnes are prohibited. Instead, from the A40, take the exit for Forest of Dean and Coleford A4136 (Staunton Road). Continue for five miles, then turn left onto Grove Road. After half a mile, turn left onto Bracelands Drive. The campsite is at the end on the right.

Local attractions

There’s simply masses to do in the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley – from adventurous outings to cultural visits. Get the kids up and active with a visit to Go Ape Beechenhurst (15 minutes’ drive) for Segway tours and zooming down zipwires, and head for the Forest of Dean Adventure Park Bracelands Site (five minutes) for jumping around on ropes, climbing towers and practising archery. Or maybe you fancy kayaking down the River Wye from Wyedean (15 minutes)? For less strenuous days out, have an amble around the mossy woodland trails at Puzzlewood (10 minutes), or get your culture fix at National Trust-owned Westbury Court Garden (25 minutes), with delightful formal plantings around an ornamental lake. Lunchtime? Pack a picnic and eat it at Symonds Yat Rock (five minutes) while enjoying the view of the River Wye winding through its gorge. Prefer a pub? The renowned half-timbered Saracens Head Inn (15 minutes) sits on the river bank and is a great place to stop for lunch or a glass of something chilled. And to say you’ve been to Wales, hop across the border to Monmouth (20 minutes) and tour its castle and military museum.
