Powered grass campsite
Liked: Toilets and showers were nice and clean Great for hiking Quiet after 10.30 and rigorously policed!
Disliked: No chairs at all in shower block, I have reduced mobility and it does make life a lot easier! Also nowhere to put your toiletries whilst showering.

Liked: The space between tents, campers, etc. Felt safe. Wardens patrolling. Staff took you to your pitch on arrival, after a briefing of rules and regulations of the site. Clean toilets and showers.

Liked: Warm welcome and information given on arrival. Clean facilities. Level pitches with plenty of space. Overall tidiness and cleanliness of site. Well situated for access to river, walks, cycling and other activities within Forest of Dean.
Disliked: Nowhere in shower to place items on off floor eg. wash bag to keep dry.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked: Super friendly & helpful staff Beautiful site and well maintained Clean facilities, well marked out on map and signs and clear what is waste water and drinking water Very close access to woodland walks and attractions Wild deer roam the site Plenty of choice of pitch as we stayed off peak which also meant it was a bit quieter and that suited us perfectly Easy to find and we loved the location, will definitely be coming back!
Disliked: Might be because we were there off peak but the offer in both campsite shop and the larger shop at the top of the site was not the greatest. We travel light and have limited space for cooling food and after spending most of the day walking around the woodland we didn’t want to have to take the van and leave the site to source dinner. As an emergency options we found some bits but felt a bit limited. As a site it is absolutely stunning and we didn’t struggle to find a space to pitch (again as we were there off peak) but it is very slopey and as beginner campers that have only just started our micro camper adventures we have only experienced flat campsites Bring some bits to level your vehicle or keep in mind for sleeping in tents. We will be putting levellers on the list of items needed for next time :) Wish there was a shelf in the showers but everything was clean and nice so not really a complaint!

Liked: Friendly staff, block 3 was closed off but staff let me pitch there as I wanted some privacy.
Disliked: Could have made it clear during booking that block 3 was closed off as that consists of 50-60% of grass only pitches.
