Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Cleanliness of the site throughout was impeccable. Activities such as the leisure pass and parks throughout the resort were excellent. Staff were always friendly. The grounds were well kept allowing space for walks, picnics and places to relax.

Disliked: Although the resort is dog friendly and advertises this, we were surprised to find that dogs were not allowed in the bar, restaurant or entertainment area which restricted our evenings to our accommodation.

Local attractions

For those seeking a bit of peace and quiet, there are stacks of splendid trails around the Forest of Dean to ramble or ride bikes along (and a bike hire place a few minutes’ walk away in Parkend if you need it). Should the kids demand more from their woodland outings, take them along to seek out dragons and unicorns along the themed trails at Puzzlewood, or launch themselves into the air on the ziplines and high ropes courses at Go Ape; both are 10 minutes away by car. Much of the area’s attraction is linked to its natural good looks, but there’s also manmade interest in the form of the miners’ caverns at Clearwell Caves and the puffing steam trains of the Dean Forest Railway (both 10 minutes' drive). In the unlikely event that you tire of this scenery, head west to the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for days visiting Goodrich Castle (20 minutes) and the Wye Valley Butterfly Zoo (25 minutes), or canoeing from Symonds Yat (25 minutes).
