Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Schöner ruhiger Platz, toll angelegt, viel Unterhaltung

Disliked Wir fänden eine Bäckerei oder frische Backwaren auf dem Platz gut.
In dem Waschhaus dass wir benutzen fehlten Waschbecken zum rasieren, waschen, Zähneputzen. Die vorhandenen Waschbecken waren dafür eher ungeeignet. Ist aber beides nicht schlimm und wir kommen gerne wieder.

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Lovely, pretty site, forest, grounds and parks. Swimming pool, entertainment, good food. Bookable activities for kids. Friendly staff.

Disliked Not the fault of the site but the wasps were relentless when sitting outside, maybe something could be done around the bins to help prevent so many being present.

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Great facilities, all clean and close to each other. Lots of entertainment both evening and activities.
Restaurant and cafe both really nice and can order online.
Bike hire onsite with bike trail from campsite made it really convenient for exploring.
Walks straight from the campsite was great for dogs. warm dog wash was a huge touch. As was bike wash.

Disliked Phone 4g/5g not available but could access WiFi from restaurant and from pitch at non peak times. Recommended downloading anything before you get there. Although was perfect for switching off.

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Entertainment programme. Spacious and well tended site

Disliked Limited toilet facilities for large volume of touring pitches. Some activities were quite highly priced (£10 for slime-making?). No sports competitions for kids.

Katrina D.

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Well kept site
Lots of entertainment for the children
Fantastic pool excellent don’t need to book in advance
Food reasonable and nice
Staff were friendly
Lovely flat pitches
Dog friendly except can’t take into main buildings

Disliked Think there was a issue with the toilet plumbing as toilets not flushing properly
Constantly dirty as paper not flushed away

Children cycling around or on roller blades at speed with no regard for their own safety or that of others.

Didn’t like putting my awning up on hard gravel

Could do with more toilets blocks for the amount of people staying there

Wi-Fi poor

Local attractions

For those seeking a bit of peace and quiet, there are stacks of splendid trails around the Forest of Dean to ramble or ride bikes along (and a bike hire place a few minutes’ walk away in Parkend if you need it). Should the kids demand more from their woodland outings, take them along to seek out dragons and unicorns along the themed trails at Puzzlewood, or launch themselves into the air on the ziplines and high ropes courses at Go Ape; both are 10 minutes away by car. Much of the area’s attraction is linked to its natural good looks, but there’s also manmade interest in the form of the miners’ caverns at Clearwell Caves and the puffing steam trains of the Dean Forest Railway (both 10 minutes' drive). In the unlikely event that you tire of this scenery, head west to the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for days visiting Goodrich Castle (20 minutes) and the Wye Valley Butterfly Zoo (25 minutes), or canoeing from Symonds Yat (25 minutes).
