  • Relaxed, family-friendly campsite 10 minutes’ drive from Chepstow
  • Wye Valley National Landscape 15 minutes’ drive; Tintern 20 minutes
  • Communal kitchen and games room; pub in Woolaston 20 minutes’ walk
Halfway between historic Chepstow and seaside Lydney (both 10 minutes’ drive) in Gloucestershire, family-friendly Sheephouse Campsite is handily located for forays into the Forest of Dean and expeditions to gorgeous Tintern Abbey (both 20 minutes). Everything about this laidback site is designed to make life easy for you. There are no firm arrival or departure times, and no set pitches on the more-or-less level camping field – which has views over to the River Severn, by the way – so family groups and friends can pitch up together. Your younger offspring can busy themselves on the climbing frame and slide, while teens may well head straight to the games room with table-tennis and pool tables, as well as a chillout area for hanging out with new pals and USB charging points for your devices. The simple shared kitchen has a washing-up sink, freezer, kettle and a table and chairs for eating if the weather is not up to alfresco dining. Woolaston (five minutes’ drive/20 minutes’ walk) has a couple of farm shops for picking up bits to barbecue (bring your own barbecue), or you could abandon the car and stroll down to the pub, which does a good line in curries, served both in-house and as takeaways.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Great campsite. We loved our stay here. Two miles from Bathurst outdoor pool and good take away curry nearby. We loved that we could arrive and leave when we wanted so we had a lazy pack up day. The games room is a game changer for the children. Car boot sale on a sunday is a bonus.

Disliked The road can be a bit loud at night if you are a light sleeper.

Local attractions

Cyclists have easy access to the Wye Valley Greenway (20 minutes by bike), or you can up the physical ante with climbing and abseiling at waterside Symonds Yat (35 minutes). Hikers should grab their boots and head off into the Wye Valley National Landscape (15 minutes’ drive) to follow sections of the scenic Wye Valley Walk along the river banks. Kids unwilling to walk? Tempt them with colourful art installations on the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail (25 minutes), or let them have a run around in the moss-covered undergrowth at Puzzlewood (15 minutes). If little legs tire, you can all hop aboard the Forest of Dean Railway (10 minutes) to chug through the woodland by heritage train. Clearwell Caves (15 minutes) will also intrigue most children with its network of underground caverns once mined for iron ore; today a self-guided tour leads to an illuminated and ice-cold subterranean lake. Learn more about local heritage with a visit to spectacular Tintern Abbey (20 minutes), with its photogenic setting by the River Wye, or take a look around medieval Chepstow Castle (10 minutes) on its craggy hilltop.
