What customers say
This quiet, tidy site in a lovely rural spot is praised for cleanliness, spacious pitches, and friendly owners. Facilities, like paid showers, are generally good. Some note a sloping field but most found flat spots. Limited mobile signal and shower cost were mentioned by a few. Great for exploring the Forest of Dean.

I would recommend the campsite and would definitely go back again
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Lovely clean campsite. The owners were nice and welcoming and helpful.
A lovely run pub (The Rising Sun). Run by 2 young ladies who produce lovely food. 30 min walk from the campsite.
Disliked Probably need more toilets, showers and washing up area. The ones they do have were very clean.

Liked Peaceful, lots of space.
I liked that it wasn't flooded with lights like many are. We were able to enjoy clear sky, stars and moon.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked The facilities were clean, the host was welcoming and the site was spotless too. The residents were respectful of one another. The price was affordable too
Disliked I ended up sleeping on a slope which was very uncomfortable, so I would go again and camp in a different spot as opposed to at the bottom of the site. Also, I think I'd check for nearby events before booking, as we went with a child who couldn't sleep due the band playing at a pub in the distance, not a fault of the campsite but defo worth researching beforehand

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Lovely site. Pub 20 minute walk away.
Nice chilled vibe and feels secluded. Trees all around and no road noise. Toilets and pay for showers (£1/3 min) clean and decent. Some pitches are on a slope but plenty of flat options if its not too busy.
Disliked Nothing

A great place from which to explore the Forest of Dean.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Lovely quiet little site, great facilities, clean and sufficient for the numbers of campers there. Nice shady area to camp in at the far end of the field. Friendly owners. Really safe environment for children to play in. Less than 10 minute drive to Puzzlewood which was an excellent afternoon out.
Disliked Fairly sloping field in places, so worth thinking carefully about where to pitch. Need tokens for the showers, so make sure you get these before reception closes (paid for, £1 each, but this was a shower that was plenty long enough, and warm). I think you would need to drive to most places (but we didn't attempt any walks directly from site).

Anonymous Primitive grass campsite
Liked Beautiful location, nice flat field, and the addition of picnic benches was great.
Disliked The showers needed tokens which you could buy with cash, unfortunately I didn't have any cash with me.
