What customers say
This clean, peaceful campsite offers spacious, scenic pitches with lakes and countryside views. Highly dog-friendly with secure areas and a pond. BBQ stands & on-site fridges/freezers available. Mostly excellent, but occasional shower temp issues & limited local amenities.

Liked A lovely campsite, which was very clean and tidy. Good facilities with clean toilets, sinks and clothes washing.
Site specialises in dogs, with a dog pond, and fenced free run pens.
Well managed site, which was quiet at night. Thanks Michelle for looking after us.

From the manager: Short and sweet but very welcomed feedback! thank you for taking the time to leave this review and we look forward to welcoming you back :)
Ideally situated for Forest of Dean, Wales etc.
Powered grass campsite (large)
Liked We loved the size of the site, not too many pitches and plenty of field space, though that could be because it was quiet. The pitches were a nice size and the little hedges and fencing in between gave privacy.
It was very peaceful, the dogs were very well behaved (we don't actually have dogs and didn't realise it was a dog specific site).
Bathrooms were spacious and clean, powerful showers!
Disliked nothing!
No wifi, but that wasn't a bother for us!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Lovely to hear that our dogless visitors enjoy their stay as much as those travelling with their canine companions;) We are just a small site run by a small family of hard workers so to receive such lovely feedback means a great deal - so thank you and please do come back soon.
p.s. It would be way outside our financial capacity to provide wifi to the campsite. For those happy to have a data free holiday or are able to use the excellent phone signal to meet their needs we are the perfect little haven.

Liked Absolutely beautiful place , nice and quiet, lovely lakes (shame the fish got washed away ) easy access to forest dean just a short drive away. Toilets and showers are 10/10

From the manager: Thank you lovely, so pleased you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed our little haven as much as we do. We have more stock coming for the fishing lake this September. Hopefully it will go some way to address the unexpected and devastating loss we experience during the storms in January. It was the worst flooding incident experience in this region in over half a century :( So we are very hopeful for next years fishing seasons.
Enjoyable stay but wouldn't come back!!

Liked It was nice to have are own place next to the lake!! It was nice and clean! Was dog friendly and had dog paddocks!
Disliked It felt like they didn't like visitors and wasn't very welcoming!! It's more dog friendly than people friendly!!

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback about the beauty of our site. You were indeed given a beautiful pitch by our lovely site owner. Perhaps your concern stems from our polite request that you amend your pitch type from backpacker (which you were not) to a standard pitch, as you did not meet the requirements for the discount pitch you had booked. It is always worth checking when you book a pitch that what you are bringing fits on the pitch and that you meet the pitch requirements. We did spot this in advanced and raise this with you a few days before arrival. Michelle was very polite in upgrading you on arrival and allocating you the best spot we have available. I am not aware of any other contact with staff (we only had one person on duty) but please do share if you had any contact which gave you concern.
