Liked: Great cafe, very friendly staff, kind an courteous at all times. Good for a walk up and down the severn and further afield.
Disliked: Facilities need some improvement, shipping container style isn't really up to the job for site. Needs a dedicated building Lots of "stuff" scattered round the site, looks a little like a junk yard in places

Liked: Silver Fox The owners made us feel very welcome and are dog friendly and gave us plenty of info on local pubs and chippys and local walks, the whole staff were friendly and helpful you can’t really fault them. The on site ( also dog friendly ) cafe is open 9-5, with breakfast and lunch menu food is great reasonably priced, a decent selection too well worth a visit even if it’s just for a cuppa and a slice of home made cake or cream scone and tea/ coffee. You can book in for a very tasty Sunday lunch for around £12.00 We were having breakfast and the server came over with 2 little treats on a tiny platter and asked if she could give them to our 2 dogs which was nice, it was the little platter made us smile , furry sir and Madame, I present your treats Anyhow Speaking of chippys the closet one is called Frydays in the village of Little dean there is one in Blakeney its a tad further away and was rammed when we went there, waited 45 minutes for food, it was nice though And the closest pub is a about a 4 minute walk or there abouts, they serve pub meals and are also dog friendly The site is a small site we found our pitch was big enough to pitch a Hampton 8 DXL put the guy lines and park my car by the site of it with enough room to walk around it. So not what I’d call a small pitch I think it’s got limit of 6.5 meters wide so pretty decent. Some are smaller though. Pitch was A bit bumpy. And sloping slightly at the back we were under a tree I wanted to cut a branch or 2 off that was touching our brand new tent but didn’t. The Electric hook up was in with the price was stables and never tripped out at all. There is a toilet block which is inside a porta cabin ladies to the left gents to the right with one shower in middle and there is a second shower that can be found next to the cafe. They were out of Toilet roll for most of the day because the site and the cafe were so busy but it really should have been sorted out. They have outside dish washing facilities which is not under shelter so not ideal if it’s raining which it did during our stay, be warned the water coming out of those taps is very hot. It could do with some kind of roof though to protect you from great British weather . They do have an under shelter gas BBQ which is free for you and the rest of the site to use it can get busy but hey it’s free a nice little perk. They have a recycling area by the side of the porta cabin Separate bins for glass ,plastic, food tins, drink cans, a bin for dogs mess/ poo bags, and black bins for general rubbish so nice and easy. There are picnic benches dotted around it could do with a few more but it’s not too big an issue They have a bar on site that open when the park is busy for soft drinks and stronger stuff in cans and wine . It’s a refurbed horse box, I’ll let you discover the “bar/pubs” name it made me chuckle. There are some nice walks along the banks of the river Severn A pleasant stay but it feels and looks a bit of a working progress there’s a double decker bus not sure what that’s for and a canal boat shell. Maybe a future project. Price point is bit high for what you get but I guess if you make use of BBQ it would help you feel better about the nightly price . We can only review what we experience and based on that I can’t see us returning any time soon. Which is a shame it has such potential
Disliked: It’s August bank holiday and its far from tranquil different music competing at various volumes As well as some loud people big and little . Noise wound down when it wound down there was nobody coming around telling people to keep the noise and music down, most sites we’ve been 10:00 - 10:30 your told that’s it keep it down but not here Add to that the trains thundering passed and the traffic of the A48 it’s not what we would consider quiet.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: The site is well located for visits to Forest of Dean, puzzelwood and the local town. We were allocated a large pitch with extra facilities (bbq, benches) as we were staying as a large family group. The staff were very friendly and helpful. On-site cafe serving a variety of food, inviting atmosphere and cakes I’d highly recommend.
Disliked: The site is quite compact, which means it was quite noisy of an evening and early morning. There’s quite a lot stuff around (scrap, vehicles etc) which doesn’t look great. Toilets/showers/washing up area is lacking in maintenance and cleanliness, which was frustrating and unpleasant at times.

Liked: Friendly staff let us add another tent to our pitch so our family could join us. Seen reviews about not enough showers but the campsite was full on our visit and I never had to queue for a shower once. The showers were powerful and lovely hot water. Cafe did amazing breakfasts
Disliked: Power did keep going off but expected with a busy campsites. Road and railway quite noisy so you may struggle if a light sleeper.
