What customers say
This is a very clean, well-maintained campsite with spacious, level pitches and a relaxed atmosphere. Visitors consistently praise the friendly and helpful staff, modern and spotless toilet and shower facilities, and the convenient on-site shop and cafe offering hot food. The location is ideal for exploring the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley, with easy walking access to Coleford town. Some minor points raised include the children's play area being more suited to older children, and the access road being steep and bumpy. Overall, a highly recommended site that many plan to revisit.

Amazing facilities & staff.
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Great welcome. All the staff were very welcoming & friendly. The facilities were immaculate & kept clean all day. Lovely walk into Coleford town center. Wonderful take aways from Malanos & Alis fish & chips. A great location to visit alot of places nearby.
Disliked Felt very crammed in & no privacy, we were on pitch 2 & felt very exposed as it was right near the reception & facilities, everyone would look in on us (& did) as they drove past & no privacy between us, pitch 3 & the bell tent. The "shop" wasn't as stocked as we had hoped for, no bread or eggs, which was abit disappointing. But luckily coleford was only a 5 minute drive away. The cost of the bacon baps was expensive, with only 3 rashers of bacon, that was very dry & salty.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. It was great to hear the positives about our site and good to hear what you did not like as that will help us make evaluate ourselves and the service we provide.
I really am sorry to hear that you did not like your pitch - it is one of our most popular pitches as a lot of our guests like to be nearer to the facilities. I do wish you had let us know that you did not like it when you arrived and we would have moved you to a different pitch quite happily. We do aim to please.
We no longer sell bread and eggs as we are a small site and it is not commercially viable for us to stock perishable items - historically we have thrown out more that we have sold and with Lidl just a mile away, most guests have found it easier to get fresh supplies locally. Our shop really is just a small scale cafe offering refreshments, drinks and snacks and camping essentials that often get left behind - sadly we are not large enough for general groceries.
I am also sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your bacon bap. We don't add salt so I am afraid it is as it comes from the supplier.
We really do try and please everyone and am very pleased that although you don't want to return, you would recommend us.
If you do decide to give us another try, please do call us and let us know which pitch you would like - we have a lot of guests that ring and book specific pitches.
Thank you for the comments about the staff - we are very lucky to have them.
Great location walking distance to the local town.
