Uneven pitches don't be taken in by the beautiful location
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Location
Disliked Most of the site is sloping I wouldn't have booked if I'd known. 80% uneven pitches.
Won't be going again.
Im dumbfounded that it's actually a camp site.
Pods fine Safari tents fine motorhome hard standing only fine.
Good site. Just know this is not going to be a quiet site.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked The staff we met could not have been more friendly or helpful. Shower and toilet facilities did what they needed to do. Even though site very busy, never had to wait.
Location of this site is great, with access straight into the forest.
Disliked Noise levels at night. Our first night kept Wake by a large group until 1am ish. Second night, unfortunately a guy with 5/6 young teenage boys pitch up not far in front of us (which they're totally allowed to do). The content noise coming from inside their tent late at night was horrendous. Prompting me to twice get up , midnight and 1am, to ask them to be quiet.
Everything was above standards it’s our second time camping, well thought out…

Liked Fantastic setting, really clean, friendly staff
Ideal location
Powered grass campsite
Liked Location is great with direct access into the forest. Well placed with many walks from the camp. Pizza van on a Saturday a bonus as was the chipshop in Coleford that delivered to the camp
Disliked People who let their dogs just bark with no consideration for other campers who just want a bit of peace. This wasn't the fault of the wardens just inconsiderate people.
