What customers say

Quiet, peaceful spot with lovely forest views. Private toilet, washing-up, hook-up, fire pit all a bonus. Great for Forest of Dean walks. Friendly host, Vince, a highlight. No showers, but that's clear. Late check-in and a bit of road noise noted.

Samantha D.

Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Amazing find. Just a small park up next to a house. No other campers. Communication was great. Didn't see or hear the people living in house. You are completely seperate and private. Cute little hut for toilet. Picnic table available. Nice and quiet area. No shower but this did not bother us as was only 1 night.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Jane C.

Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Perfect, what more can I say. We were greeted by Vince on arrival with a lovely ''and relax'' which is what we did. This is a wonerful little spot for an overnight stop and longer if you have a shower on board. Only a short drive to the Cycle center at F.O.D too. Thank you Vince we will be back in the future.

Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely quiet level hard standing pitch next to a babbling brook and the Forest of Dean. Situated next to the owners property but with total privacy. All the amenities you could need kept immaculately (except for no shower clearly stated on the booking).
We loved our stay here.

Disliked Nothing 🙂

Local attractions

If you’re happy to explore the local area on foot, access the Wysis Way direct from your pitch for explorations of the Forest of Dean or longer tramps to the Severn Vale. Another local walk leads through Edgehills Nature Reserve (40 minutes’ walk) to St Antony’s Well (90 minutes), where you can cool off with a dip in a spring that’s thought to date from medieval times. Slightly further afield, outdoor adventures might take you to the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (10 minutes’ drive) for kayaking trips down the River Wye, or challenging cycling trails that lead to the landmark Symonds Yat Rock (two hours and 40 minutes by bike from your pitch). Looking for days out with the kids? Discover the wacky installations along the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail (10 minutes’ drive), or the moss-covered rocks and trees lining walkways at the mysterious Puzzlewood (15 minutes), where there’s also a small farm with donkeys to cuddle. When more high-octane activity is needed, involve the whole family in an active day on treetop rope courses and zipwires at Go Ape Mallards Pike (also 15 minutes).
