What customers say
This is a basic, no-frills site, often called a stopover. Guests like its peaceful vibe, closeness to Lydney town/harbour, and wildlife viewing. Facilities were mostly seen as clean, but some disliked the industrial setting, look, and basic amenities. Some left on arrival. Positive notes often mention friendly owners and good value.

Power optional RV campsite
Liked Good position to explore the area, and had availability on the bank holiday weekend. The communication was fine as the owners were not available on site to show us around although the locals were friendly and helpful as a guide to where things were. Great evening walk from the site.
Disliked first appearance of the site is a bit tatty and would not be to everyone's taste but it proved to be fine

Power optional RV campsite
Liked Quirky place with some long-term residents in situ, who were friendly and polite. Parking is on the old quayside and is pretty flat. There is a single toilet with wash basin in a cubicle. Great walk down to the Severn to the historic dock, which is about a 2 mile round trip. Good stopover for 20 quid with ehu and a very quiet location.

Met our needs for a one night stop over, but no need for us to return.
Power optional RV campsite
Liked Location. Easy Saturday morning walk to Lydney Boating Lake for parkrun, our reason for visiting Lydney.
Ideal for a one night stop-over.
Conversation over the phone with staff member was very helpful (never met face to face. Send text on arrival and they will call back)
Disliked Scruffy and tired appearance. Many scrap vehicles parked adjacent to entrance and an old trailer restricting access to the 'one' site toilet.
With a little bit of effort this small site could be quite attractive.

Sorry would not reccommend this to anyone, not even one star
Power optional RV campsite
Liked Nothing
Disliked took one look at this and left.. its sited on an industrial estate, miles from anywhere, behind a car breakers, difficult to find and get too, and the site looked like part of the breakers yard, with old caravans and old broken vehicles everywhere. The lake was small and pretty much stagnant, and the actual site small and covered in astro turf.

Straightforward and economical
Power optional RV campsite
Liked Straightforward arrangements, quiet location, close to train station, easy walk into town for supermarkets, etc. (20 minutes). Basic no frills facilities including flushing toilet, water tap, and sheltered (outdoor) laundry facilities.
Disliked Situated as it is on the edge of an industrial estate, there might be an impression of some dereliction in the immediate vicinity which may not be comfortable for all, especially as it is very dark at night.
