What customers say

This spacious Forest of Dean campsite offers direct forest access and beautiful views. Visitors consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff, clean facilities (though some note they are dated), and the peaceful, relaxed atmosphere. The location is ideal for walking and cycling, with deer frequently seen on site. While some pitches can be sloping and Wi-Fi/phone signal is limited, the overall experience is highly recommended for nature lovers.

Chris M.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The facilities are very good. Loved the freshly-made pizzas that were available one of the evenings we were there.
The location is excellent with superb access to the forest. We saw some deer in the woods right next to the site on our first day!

Disliked The wifi dropped out all the time, but we were at the far end of the site, so that may have been the reason.

Great experience will be back 👍

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.
