What customers say
A tidy, well-kept spot with plenty of room, friendly staff and spotless facilities. Great for exploring, though the playground is for older kids and the road's a bit steep. Lots of folk will be back.

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked We stayed at Greenacres Campsite this weekend with my partner and our 3-year-old and had an amazing time. The site is lovely, really well kept, and has a welcoming, relaxed feel. It’s a great spot for families, safe, spacious and with everything you need close by. Our little one loved the open space to play, and we really enjoyed the peaceful setting. A brilliant place to get away and we’ll definitely be coming back!

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Excellent facilities, clean and new toilet block. Well maintained. Site very quiet after 10pm. Flat pitch’s. Lovely little shop selling breakfast, snacks and camping essentials. Just off main road. Easy walk into Coleford 15mins (down then up a hill). Local park close - 5 min walk. Lots to do locally so don’t have to drive out to far to find things to do. Very friendly staff.
Disliked Play area could have been more suitable for younger children.

A good quality site with clean facilities and level pitches.
Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked The campsite was beautiful, everything nice and clean and flat pitches. Facilities were nice and everything was easy to find in terms of bins, waste etc. A really nice walk from the campsite onto a public footpath if you ask for directions from reception.
Disliked Cafe breakfast in the morning seemed a bit unorganised and made our departure much later than expected. We ordered some breakfast rolls and were told to come back in 20 minutes but didn’t actually receive them for an hour which was a little frustrating!
Arrival information could have been a bit more welcoming - a long list of rules and things not to do which is to be expected but maybe could have been followed up with nearby walks and activity information or listed some of the fun things that were included in the site.

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback. I can only apologise for the wait for the breakfast rolls - it was quiet so we put some extra cakes in the oven and then we got super busy! Lesson learnt!
There is information on local activities - I am sorry that you do not seem to have been made aware of this.

From the manager: Hi Jo
I am sorry to hear that your stay was spoilt by noisy neighbours! We do have a noise policy in place and would have come up and dealt with the issue if you had called us - I am so sorry if you were not made aware of this.
Thanks for the feedback about the toilet rolls - I will mention that to our tam and we will increase our checks.
