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!

Power optional gravel site
Liked Very good size pitches, plenty of space. Clean showers with hot water, area for laundry, we didn't use it, but there were people using the washing machine. 3 sinks with very hot water to do the dishes which we found awesome. The amenities are cleaned daily at 11 am.
Very quiet area and very cared about.
Disliked There is nothing we dislike, we will be back.

Great little campsite
Power optional grass site
Liked Friendly, welcoming staff. Nice site, clean shower block and toilets. Washing up facilities were good. Asked to be close to toilet and was given pitch 12 which was real close to a block of 2 loos in the field which were spotlessly clean.
Disliked Optional electric - we were placed on pitch 12 - The electric hook up was covered over and out of use and the closest was too far for us to reach. This didn’t affect our stay and we didn’t raise it as we were happy with the pitch given and have solar panels so just run off of that. The only downfall - place was nice

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely comments about the site and facilities, we’re really pleased you enjoyed your stay and that the pitch location worked well for you.
I’m very sorry about the issue with the electric hook-up on pitch 12. That was our mistake, and we should have made sure you were placed on an electric pitch. We completely take responsibility for that and appreciate you being so understanding and managing with your solar setup. We’ll make sure this is picked up with the team so it doesn’t happen again.
Thank you again for your kind feedback, and we do hope to welcome you back for a fully spot-on stay next time.

Would 100% visit again, we had a lovely weekend.
Power optional grass site
Liked Large pitches, friendly people working in the shop - they were extremely helpful bringing our food order and fire pit to our pitch as I had my 9 year old and 10 month old with me. Selection of essentials in the shop. Coffee and food was very tasty and quick. Very peaceful with lots of walks and things to do within a 5-10 minute drive of the campsite. The shower block was extremely clean and spacious and they had a family room which had a baby bath and changing area which was amazing. All of the pitches are electric optional which was very easy to use as beginners to electric pitches! We would never go back to non electric pitches now.
