What customers say

This campsite offers a beautiful, peaceful location with direct forest access, ideal for walks and wildlife spotting. Visitors praise the friendly and helpful staff, spacious pitches, and clean facilities. While most experiences are positive, some mention dated facilities, the need for pitch levelling, and patchy Wi-Fi. The site is highly recommended for a natural getaway.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Not a lot of flat areas. Put a nice campsite.

Disliked If you are up the top end of the site, it's a long walk to the shadow block, because the one in your field is not working

KRISTOPHER B.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Fantastic location with some great nearby walking trails.
Check in was very friendly and informative.

Disliked Only two toilet blocks open, poor considering a bank holiday weekend and the extra mark up in cost.
Toilets, although clean require some maintenance, particularly the patch of black mould above the showers in the gents block 2. Some benches would be useful in this area too.

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.
