What customers say
Very clean, well-kept site with roomy, flat pitches & a chill vibe. Staff are praised as friendly & helpful. Toilets/showers are modern & spotless. On-site shop & cafe serve hot food. Great for Forest of Dean/Wye Valley. Coleford town is walkable. Play area better for older kids; access road is steep & bumpy. Highly recommended, many plan to return.

A good quality site with clean facilities and level pitches.
Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked The campsite was beautiful, everything nice and clean and flat pitches. Facilities were nice and everything was easy to find in terms of bins, waste etc. A really nice walk from the campsite onto a public footpath if you ask for directions from reception.
Disliked Cafe breakfast in the morning seemed a bit unorganised and made our departure much later than expected. We ordered some breakfast rolls and were told to come back in 20 minutes but didn’t actually receive them for an hour which was a little frustrating!
Arrival information could have been a bit more welcoming - a long list of rules and things not to do which is to be expected but maybe could have been followed up with nearby walks and activity information or listed some of the fun things that were included in the site.

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback. I can only apologise for the wait for the breakfast rolls - it was quiet so we put some extra cakes in the oven and then we got super busy! Lesson learnt!
There is information on local activities - I am sorry that you do not seem to have been made aware of this.

Recommend to friends Visit again
Great site, clean and tidy and very welcoming
Camping pod
Liked Lovely Campsite, Pod was ideal for a short break for me and my 8 yr old, no stress of putting tent up. Decent size fridge and plenty of sockets, decking area with chairs and coffee table and the Pod was shaded by a tree which was very welcome in 30 degree heat. Lovely little shop open until 4pm. The toilets and showers were immaculate, 10 mins drive into a the small town of Coleford and 10 mins to Puzzlewood which did not disappoint, fire pits and logs available to hire but we took our own.
Staff and owners were very friendly and kind- waste and recycling facilities clean and tidy and kept on top of. Quite in the evenings - all round great site would definitely return
Disliked Nothing really, would be nice if the shop was open later.

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback. We are pleased you and your son had an enjoyable stay and hope to welcome you back. I will take on board the comments about the shop being open later and will review that today. Thanks!
