What customers say
This well-maintained campsite offers spacious, level pitches and a relaxed atmosphere. Visitors praise the immaculate, modern toilet and shower facilities, friendly and helpful staff, and convenient on-site shop. The location is ideal for exploring the Forest of Dean and nearby attractions. While most guests have a positive experience, some note issues with noise from larger groups, occasional Wi-Fi problems, and the access road.

Very clean toilet/shower block.
Handy cafe/shop on site.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Absolutely loved this place... Close to some fantastic walks straight from site. Brilliant little shop and cafe serving hot rolls and coffee. Pitch sizes more than adequate.
The heated toilets and showers were the best we have ever had the pleasure of using. Well done to the team for being so on the ball with the cleaning they were absolutely spotless. We spoilt ourselves and ordered a takeaway from Cinnamon in Coleford and it was one of the best we have tasted. Just wish it was closer to home 🤣
Would definitely recommend this site to others we can't wait to return.

Friendly staff and really nice camp ground
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked The campsite is very well thought of and has a lot of nice features. Fire pit hire is a very nice bonus!
Separate play area for children meant that my children could run around with a football without disturbing anyone.
Dishwashing station and facilities were kept clean and were amazing.
No issues with late arrival (8.10pm).
Nearby puzzlewood is an amazing discovery for a day away from the campsite.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We are really pleased your enjoyed your stay and liked our site.
The water treatment plant was installed this year. Due to the unusually dry conditions, we weren’t able to begin the planting scheme as planned. However, we’re set to start the landscaping work as soon as we close for the season, and we’re confident it will make a big difference.
We do hope to welcome you back!
