  • Quiet and scenic site with direct access to Forest of Dean footpaths
  • Puzzlewood, Clearwell Caves and Go Ape within a 15-minute drive
  • Dog exercise field and modern bathrooms; pubs a mile away
Fancy the chance to go walking in the woods without having to drive anywhere? Deanwood Caravan and Camping has direct access onto footpaths taking you into the Forest of Dean – so it really could hardly be easier to get out and explore this gorgeous Gloucestershire scenery. Getting out for a walk might take you along woodland trails in search of local birds and wild animals – or it might involve heading up to Yorkley village, a mile away, which a dog-friendly pub as well as a well-stocked village shop (a handy place to pick up picnic supplies or something to throw on your barbecue back at base). Dogs are very welcome on site too, and will have access to their own exercise field where they can have a good run around off lead. Other facilities include washing-up areas and access to a fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. Toilets and showers are housed in a modern heated block so there’s no need to worry about chilly toes… The Forest of Dean is a fairly compact area, so pretty much all of its attractions are within a 10/15-minute drive; there’s more to see and do over in the nearby Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Beauty as well. Three miles away, the town of Lydney has various leisure facilities including indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and is a handy source of shops, supermarkets and restaurants.

Liked Great facilities and great site managers who are on hand whenever you need. Our electric hook up wasn’t long enough and they were kind enough to provide us with a longer cable. WiFi is really good also. Would recommend.

Dan G.

Beech Row electric grass touring pitch

Liked The site proximity to The Forest of Dean - Only 2 miles from Malards Pike, Go Ape and Forest of Dean Cycle Tracks. The views from the pitches over the forest are great too. The site has loads of space with hedges between pitches. Great facilities with clean showers and toilets, free to use washing machine and dryers, freezer and fridges. The site is a "quiet site", and super relaxing.

Bluebell non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We had a fantastic stay at this campsite! The tent area offers stunning views across the valley — a perfect spot to relax and take in the scenery. The dog field was a huge bonus, spacious and well-maintained, ideal for letting our dog run freely. Facilities were clean and well looked after, which made a big difference to our comfort. Communication with the site was clear and helpful throughout. Highly recommend!
