Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Love immaculate site. Flat pitches, great facilities and really lovely people. The sites in a good location. We cycled in the forest and went for walks both of which were easily accessible.

Disliked Nothing to dislike here. Jess is both kind and efficient and she and her parents couldn’t have done more to make visitors happy.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Well signposted and very warm welcome, Jess is very friendly and helpful. The little on site shop was handy and reasonably priced.
Pitches are allocated which makes it easier and marked out - pitch size is good, more than enough room for us and it was flat.
The facilities are spotless and the site is well kept with everything we needed. We found some good walks from the site and the views were lovely.

Disliked Just a note for other campers really - why people have to sit outside with their music on at night and first thing in the morning I don't know. It wasn't loud and switched off at a reasonable time but noise travels folks and I would rather listen to the wildlife as that's sort of the point :)

Local attractions

Sporty souls can get out into the breathtaking Wye Valley National Landscape (20 minutes’ drive) for days of canoeing, paddleboarding or cycling along the River Wye. There’s also challenging climbing at Symonds Yat (half an hour), while gorge climbing or abseiling are on hand for adrenaline junkies. More sedate local pursuits include a steam-train ride aboard the Dean Forest Railway (10 minutes), which also offers lots of family-friendly attractions like murder mystery evenings. For outdoor fun in enchanting, moss-covered forest, the walking routes at Puzzlewood (also 10 minutes) are suitable for kids, and you can all learn about local history in the reconstructed cottages and museum at the Dean Heritage Centre (15 minutes). The spectacular remains of Cistercian Tintern Abbey (half an hour) have a gorgeous setting by the River Wye. Goodrich Castle (25 minutes) is another stunning spot where you can clamber up Norman-era towers, brave the dungeons and see relics of exquisite stained-glass windows in its half-ruined chapel.
