Power optional concrete and grass caravan site
Liked: The site was really tidy and very pretty. Everything was clean, the bathrooms were spotless and very modern and fantastic pizzas on a Friday night. Friendly staff and well spaced pitches all added up to a very pleasant stay. We walked into Coleford a couple of times as it's not far and found some great little shops and a micro pub. We will absolutely come again.
Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Lots of open space and plenty of space to pull up with caravan to
Check in. Reception/shop area was modern and welcoming.
Our pitch was great, lots of space between pitches and not overlooked.
Toilet/ shower areas were modern and always clean when we used them.
Site emailed us a day or 2 before our arrival asking if we wanted to book takeaway pizza on the Friday night which we did, was nice not having to cook after we had arrived. Pizza was lovely and our little one enjoyed his chicken nuggets. Nice walk to Coleford through the gate at bottom of the field.
Disliked: Only staying 2 nights

Liked: What a truly amazing site. If you love nature this is a great place to go.
The site reception area is very welcoming and so are the staff. The site itself is extremely spaced out and very well planned to meet all ages and needs, from tents, brought to Motorhomes. Various water points are a great help.
The shower and toilet facilities were excellent and well maintained.
Can’t wait to visit again in the very near future.

Liked: Having stayed at Greenacres previously the site was a known. I however this time was allocated a pitch in the larger field. The pitches here were more spacious than expected and allowed tent and car with plenty to spare. As in previous years the facilities were kept impeccably clean. The site office / shop making a decent cup of coffee too.
The biggest win for this site being its location in relation to the Forrest of Dean and its MTB trails. 10 minutes of road cycling and you have access to the MTB trails.
Other activities are available to I’ve been told but for me it was all about being a central location for the Welsh Bike Parks I was visiting.
