David W. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked: Everything, Great little pitch, lovely location, reasonable price and great facilities for a short stay. Vince was a wonderful host and the free eggs he left us were wonderful

Disliked: Not really a dislike, but the toilet position was bang in the middle of the splendid view of the forest.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Always great to have return customers! Pleased the sun was out for you guys and that we had some spare eggs from our hens for you to enjoy. With regards to the toilet hut I was forced to tactfully place it Infront of the tree behind lol, in the hope to maximise the views of the meadow either side, but yes I agree it would be great to have a completely clear view at all times. See you next time 😊

Excellent little site.

Teresa C. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked: Everything ! This site is the kind of place you don’t want to leave a review for on case that means it is always booked up when you would like to return . We stayed for 7 days and the extra features of the toilet , outside washing up and the storage shed with a kettle meant that we could of happily stayed for a month . As we are in a motor home we have all those facilities on board but being able to have the extra space just felt like a luxury and totally extended our living space . The owner Vince was lovely and available if we needed anything and made us feel very welcome leaving fresh eggs from his chickens for us to enjoy . Even though the pitch is tucked behind the house and garden you don’t feel like you are intruding on someone’s living space. There is access to amazing walks in every direction from the pitch . We will definitely be back again.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked: Absolutely loved this pitch, well thought out, everything that you would think you’d need was well thought out & available, but not many come with a patio/xmas tree and a chill out shed

Disliked: The fact that due to traffic we arrived late and didn’t get to enjoy sitting outside, will re-book soon though

From the manager: Really appreciate the review guys! You're welcome back anytime. Definitely try and visit during the day, so you can enjoy and explore the local nature. Great pics by the way. 🙂👍

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked: Good location to visit family. Stayed 2 nights both quiet. Managed to fit 7.5m motorhome comfortably. Access to facilities a bonus. The location is tucked out of the way and exclusive for one vehicle. The price ratio is acceptable for the location, but any higher then we would use a campsite. No need for a shower etc at the Pitchup. We had no issues with mobile signal EE and Vodafone. Thank you for the fresh eggs 😋 See you on our next trip.

Disliked: Many, some large, potholes on approach road/track to Pitchup. Grey waste pipe needs extending for larger vehicles.

From the manager: Thanks for taking the time to review! We're glad you enjoyed your stay and were lucky enough to sample some of our hens eggs. See you again sometime. 🙂

Alice D. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked: The camp spot was very secluded with all the amenities we needed. Even a kettle which was very handy meaning we didn’t need to get our stove going! There was space to store things under cover and the site was lovely and clean and tidy. Vince the owner was very helpful and happy to help with any questions we had.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hey Alice! Great to hear you guys liked the spot and found it practical for your stay. Nice to hear also the storage area came in useful. Fair play for braving the cold weather.

Excellent site, very friendly host, looking forward to a return visit

Local attractions

If you’re happy to explore the local area on foot, access the Wysis Way direct from your pitch for explorations of the Forest of Dean or longer tramps to the Severn Vale. Another local walk leads through Edgehills Nature Reserve (40 minutes’ walk) to St Antony’s Well (90 minutes), where you can cool off with a dip in a spring that’s thought to date from medieval times. Slightly further afield, outdoor adventures might take you to the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (10 minutes’ drive) for kayaking trips down the River Wye, or challenging cycling trails that lead to the landmark Symonds Yat Rock (two hours and 40 minutes by bike from your pitch). Looking for days out with the kids? Discover the wacky installations along the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail (10 minutes’ drive), or the moss-covered rocks and trees lining walkways at the mysterious Puzzlewood (15 minutes), where there’s also a small farm with donkeys to cuddle. When more high-octane activity is needed, involve the whole family in an active day on treetop rope courses and zipwires at Go Ape Mallards Pike (also 15 minutes).
