  • Quiet and scenic site with direct access to Forest of Dean footpaths
  • Puzzlewood, Clearwell Caves and Go Ape within a 15-minute drive
  • Dog exercise field and modern bathrooms; pubs a mile away
Fancy the chance to go walking in the woods without having to drive anywhere? Deanwood Caravan and Camping has direct access onto footpaths taking you into the Forest of Dean – so it really could hardly be easier to get out and explore this gorgeous Gloucestershire scenery. Getting out for a walk might take you along woodland trails in search of local birds and wild animals – or it might involve heading up to Yorkley village, a mile away, which a dog-friendly pub as well as a well-stocked village shop (a handy place to pick up picnic supplies or something to throw on your barbecue back at base). Dogs are very welcome on site too, and will have access to their own exercise field where they can have a good run around off lead. Other facilities include washing-up areas and access to a fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. Toilets and showers are housed in a modern heated block so there’s no need to worry about chilly toes… The Forest of Dean is a fairly compact area, so pretty much all of its attractions are within a 10/15-minute drive; there’s more to see and do over in the nearby Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Beauty as well. Three miles away, the town of Lydney has various leisure facilities including indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and is a handy source of shops, supermarkets and restaurants.

Liked The premium pitch and the gates direct onto the woods the block and kitchen well appointed

Disliked Glad we didn’t stay on the standard gravel pitch which looked and felt like a car park and was next to the grey water disposal and the elson point

Stephen H.

Foxglove Field powered grass tent campsite

Liked It's the first time we've been to Dean Wood and it won't be the last,
The toilets and showers were absolutely spotless,
The views were incredible,
Pitches were large and well kept,
Very safe site with electric gates on entry
Direct access to forest paths
Pub within walking but very steep walk
Excellent bin and recycling area
We had an absolutely amazing stay camping at its best
The Miners Arms pub is well worth the walk friendly and incredible food

Disliked The camper and caravan pitches are a bit clinical on hardstanding
A bit expensive but worth the extra pounds
