Over the woods bell tent

Liked Lovely, quiet, peaceful hidden gem with easy links to Bristol and South Wales.

Lovely hosts who couldn't do enough to assist us l, even coming to help us when our car wouldn't start!

Lovely eco/off grid feel

Cute and thoughtful 'honesty' store

Disliked Only one compost toilet (which is VERY clean and tidy), but when there are 3 families on site a little 'crowded' for the one loo - in fair weather not a problem but when it is very wet can be a bit challenging queuing in the rain.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the positive feedback, and we will think about compost loo capacity to our 2026 jobs list!

Book if you like simple, peace and tranquility.

Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite

Liked we stayed last night and had a wonderful time it's truly a special spot not over crowed, and felt like we was properly wild camping, we travel quite along way and it honestly was worth it 100% , we will be back in the future, so much to do with not to far of a drive from the campsite. The views were specular and the firepits provided are a super nice touch and the bags of logs you can get

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Such a lovely chilled site. With just 5 pitches there’s plenty of space, peace and quiet.
The bags of fire wood are huge, plenty for a long evening.

I’ll definitely be returning.

Disliked Leaving :(

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Excellent site in a beautiful location! Small, quiet site with plenty of woodland to explore and loved that we could use a fire. Compost toilet was actually one of the more pleasant campsite loos we've had. Owners more than happy to answer our questions. We will definitely be returning!

Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite

Liked Peaceful campsite with plenty of space. A real close to nature experience. The toilet is one of the nicest, cleanest long drop toilets I’ve ever used! Fire pits were lovely and wood was available to purchase on site. Loved the little honesty shop as well. All in all we had a great night staying here

Ren F.

Over the woods bell tent

Liked Very peaceful, beautiful meadow and woods. Small site which very much suited us. Our son (3) loved exploring & looking at all the flowers, butterflies and grasshoppers. Fire pits and logs available and spacious, clean compost loo / bathroom with toilet roll & soap provided. We were only able to stay one night so chose the bell tent as its pre pitched. The mattress provided in there was comfy. Thanks for a great stay! We hope to come back.

Disliked No dislikes! The addition of running water will useful for a longer stay, but this is a new site so hopefully something for a future stay.

Local attractions

Staying at Golden Hill Wood means easy access to hiking paths and cycling trails in the Black Mountains (half an hour’s drive), and all the sporting action – paddleboarding, canoeing and kayaking – along the river in the Wye Valley (20 minutes). If you’re travelling with kids, the wacky sculpture trails in the Forest of Dean (45 minutes) might persuade them that walking is a ‘good thing’ to do. For more strenuous sporting activity, go gorge walking at Symonds Yat (40 minutes), run yourselves ragged on rope courses and zipwires at Puzzlewood (35 minutes), or ride a Segway through the forest at Go Ape Mallards Pike (45 minutes). Less adrenaline-inducing pursuits hereabouts include castle-spotting: have a wander round the romantic ruins of 15th-century Raglan Castle, and admire the mighty defence towers at clifftop Chepstow Castle (both 20 minutes). Alternatively, spend a peaceful afternoon exploring the chapels and cloisters of landmark Tintern Abbey (25 minutes), or discover all about regional Welsh life at the Usk Rural Life Museum (15 minutes).
