What customers say
Greenacres Campsite is a gem! Expect amazing Forest of Dean walks from your spot. Facilities are spotless and modern, staff are super friendly, and the on-site shop's a bonus. Pitches are roomy and flat. Minor points: tricky access road, patchy Wi-Fi, and a play area needing TLC. Great value and a peaceful escape!

Would definitely recommend it as a base for seeing the local area
Power optional grass site
Liked A really lovely site that we hope to visit again one day. Big pitches, spotlessly clean facilities and a little shop. Great for people with kids. Lots of places to walk the dog nearby
Disliked Only thing that would be useful is a little shower shelf to put the shampoo/ shower gel on as difficult for people with limited mobility.

Power optional grass site
Liked Lovely site great facilities, we had pizzas from the onsite kitchen which were great. Really nice 15 minute walk into town.
Disliked Showers only stay on for maximum 10 secs before you have to push the button again very annoying. The road up is not great and needs maintenance.

Excellent, peace, Very clean. Family run campsite
Power optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Absolutely fabulous campsite! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The site was spotless, well-maintained, and set in beautiful surroundings that made it perfect for a relaxing getaway. The facilities were excellent – clean, modern, and clearly well looked after.
The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. It felt safe, welcoming, and very family-friendly. The staff were amazing and helpful.
Lots of places to walk, 15,20 minutes walk to the town, Big big 5 minutes walk with fields so the dog could exercise.
We especially loved the peaceful atmosphere and how well everything was organised. It’s clear a lot of care and attention goes into running this campsite.
We’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect camping experience!

Power optional concrete and grass caravan site
Liked Nice little site on the top of a hill, loads of space and quiet. Good walk down into the town but uphill on the way back.
Disliked At first sight the uphill entrance looks awkward but it is easily managed.
