What customers say
Great site with spacious spots, clean facilities & helpful staff. Perfect for Forest of Dean. Some noise from groups, occasional Wi-Fi/road issues. Playground better for older kids.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We are really pleased your enjoyed your stay and liked our site.
The water treatment plant was installed this year. Due to the unusually dry conditions, we weren’t able to begin the planting scheme as planned. However, we’re set to start the landscaping work as soon as we close for the season, and we’re confident it will make a big difference.
We do hope to welcome you back!

Liked Everything was thought about to make your stay perfect. Hosts very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Location is great with just a short walk to the lovely town of Coleford. Shower block was immaculate, washing up area great, lots of hot water and even a bowl provided. Sausage batch was delicious. Very peaceful and quiet.

Great campsite, will definitely be returning. Lots to do in the area.
Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Numbered pitches with a decent amount of space between. Toilets were amazing, felt really posh and kept clean. There's a laundrette and washing up area on site, but we didn't use either this time. Lovely little shop which also sells hot food and drinks for a really decent price.
Big area set aside for kids to play in, away from any vehicles and pitches.
Great location for the forest of Dean and surrounding areas.
Disliked Kids play frame was broken, advertised a play ground but was just one square piece of equipment that you couldn't use one side of as the main rope was missing. Nothing suitable for younger kids apart from a playhouse outside the shop. Would have been better to just have it as a playing field.
