  • Pop-up pitches on a farm with gorgeous Monmouthshire hill views
  • A 20-minute drive to the Forest of Dean, and 25 minutes to Symonds Yat
  • Wild camping with kids’ games and woodland walks
If you’re lucky, you’ll get to see at least one of the amazing sunsets at Red Sky at Night Campsite near Monmouth – but if you don’t, there’s mighty compensation in the shape of the spectacular views from just about everywhere on the site. And of course, on clear nights, the night skies are diamond-bright with stars. This family-run camping field on a livestock farm is managed on very laidback lines. Pitch up wherever you like and feel free to park by your tent. Raised campfires are allowed and you can hire firepits and grills (the owners sell sausages from the farm) and buy kindling. You can bring your dogs too (take them for walks in the adjoining woods) but just be sure to keep them under control around the animals. Kids are certainly carefully looked after here. Read the note left on a tree for mini-campers and join a teddy bear hunt through the woods. Round and about the site, your offspring can entertain themselves on rope swings and a climbing frame or by making dens and following a mini-tractor course across the camping field. There is also a little play area for smaller kids. Wild camping this may be (there’s no electricity on site, please note) but there are two nicely designed compost loos and a fresh water tap. So bring your guitar, light that fire, break out the barbecue and enjoy the chilled vibe.

What customers say

This serene, roomy campsite boasts lovely rural views and a chill vibe. Hosts are often praised for being friendly & helpful. Basic, but clean, compost toilets are well-kept. Families love the kids' play area & woodsy activities. Some mention no showers/hot water, but many enjoy the "back to basics" feel. Great spot for exploring.

Jodie e.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Absolutely brilliant, such a family friendly campsite. Really lovely to use a campsite that reminded me of childhood camping experiences, very spacious. Amazing amount of space between pitches and pitches are ample for what we came with, we shared a pitch with a family member. There was plenty of room for both our big tents a pup tent and a gazebo!
Facilities were great, beautiful fresh COLD water - really refreshing on the boiling hot days that we stayed for! The compost toilets were kept immaculate, always smelled fresh and clean and decorated lovely.
Our kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves playing with their campsite friends on the tyre swing, in the little park and in the wooded area in the mud cafe. It warms my heart to give them experiences like this. Watching them running around without having to worry about cars and tripping over other people's tents ropes etc is what camping should be about and this campsite delivers that perfectly! Our kids thrived this weekend being surrounded by nature and just having the space and freedom to run around and play games. We also loved the little notes telling the children what stars to look out for at night and the Teddy trail, lots of little things like this made our weekend a really positive experience!
We were a little apprehensive about there not being any shower facilities but we managed perfectly and really enjoyed the experience of back to basics!
We would 100% recommend and will most definitely be back.

Liked Views, chilled vibe, friendly helpful owner, large pitches with plenty of space between them.

Disliked Another campers dog not kept on a lead which was disrespectful to other campers and is just lazy dog ownership. No fault of the campsite owners though.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The site has large spaced out pitches which you could choose on arrival.
The couple who run it are very friendly and drove through the site twice during our one night stay in the early evening offering fire pits, burgers to buy etc and checking all was well.
Wonderful view and lovely vibe. Great play area with ride ons which was a god send for my two toddlers.

Disliked Nothing it was a great site.

Marisha T.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked This place is fantastic, easy to find with the great instructions provided. The pitch was big enough with plenty of space between pitches. It was nice that you could choose your own pitch.We had 11 which I think is one of the best. Site facilities simple & perfect for a more of a simple camp without all the mod cons! Chloe was very welcoming and always replied straight away to any of my queries . We purchased the sausages & burgers which were fantastic! I am definitely returning as this site is situated nicely between Monmouth, Skenfrith castle ( perfect place for a dip) and Abergavenny. Thank Chloe & Ben for the perfect stay.

Local attractions

Hikers can try the Three Castles Walk – it starts right outside the farm gate. It leads to White Castle (10 minutes’ drive), where you can do tours and tastings at the vineyard; Grosmont Castle (15 minutes, stop off at the village pub); and National Trust - Skenfrith Castle (five minutes), where you can cool off with a bit of wild swimming. There’s golf, fishing and horse riding within a 15-minute drive, while the Forest of Dean has lots of woodland walks for the whole family, including the magical Sculpture Trail with glittering stained-glass artworks tucked among the trees. And of course in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (both 20 minutes), you can get out on the river in kayaks, canoes and coracles at Symonds Yat (25 minutes). Any rainy days are taken care of with visits to the indoor Wye Valley Butterfly Zoo (20 minutes), a family swim at Monmouth Leisure Centre (15 minutes) or an outing to the cinema in Abergavenny (20 minutes).
