Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked: Nice clean shower and toilet block. There was a cafe on site with food/drinks which is useful. I think they had breakfast croissants too.
Disliked: Couldn't choose your pitch. I had some people quite close to me and could hear their conversation. I was on the side nearer the wash block but wouldn't have liked being far away on the other side of field.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback — we're really pleased to hear you appreciated the clean shower and toilet block, and found the on-site café and breakfast options useful!
We’re sorry to hear that you weren’t entirely happy with the pitch allocation. While we don’t offer pitch selection when booking online, we always do our best to accommodate preferences where we can. If you'd let us know during your stay that you'd prefer to be in a different spot, we’d would have moved you if we could so please do bear that in mind in the future.
Please feel free to give us a call when booking and we will reserve your preferred pitch for you if we can.
We really hope to welcome you back again soon!
Will definitely return

Liked: Lovely site with clean toilet blocks and front area and very peaceful
Showers lovely
Nice welcome at reception from the owner
Plenty of space and freedom
Good level pitches
Easy walk into Coleford itself via gate in corner of top field
Lidls and co op only 5 mins drive away
Puzzlewood and Symonds Yat only few miles too
Thank u for a wonderful stay
Disliked: Potential future problem with the lodge /outdoor hot tub and music booming at the entrance with loud guests which we did encounter as mixing camping and holiday lets I would say doesn’t mix and very late one evening and one afternoon was very noisy but of out of the owners hands this as far as there behaviour goes and doesn’t reflect my top rating review but felt needs a mention

Liked: Well layed out site, good clean facilities, helpful friendly staff, handy location for walking in the Wye valley.
Disliked: Only downside was having to book a full 9x9m pitch for a backpacking tent. A separate area for backpackers, where 4 or 5 people could share a similar area might allow a lower rate to be offered?

Liked: The site was really tidy and very pretty. Everything was clean, the bathrooms were spotless and very modern and fantastic pizzas on a Friday night. Friendly staff and well spaced pitches all added up to a very pleasant stay. We walked into Coleford a couple of times as it's not far and found some great little shops and a micro pub. We will absolutely come again.
Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Lots of open space and plenty of space to pull up with caravan to
Check in. Reception/shop area was modern and welcoming.
Our pitch was great, lots of space between pitches and not overlooked.
Toilet/ shower areas were modern and always clean when we used them.
Site emailed us a day or 2 before our arrival asking if we wanted to book takeaway pizza on the Friday night which we did, was nice not having to cook after we had arrived. Pizza was lovely and our little one enjoyed his chicken nuggets. Nice walk to Coleford through the gate at bottom of the field.
Disliked: Only staying 2 nights
