What customers say
A clean, well-kept park with generous, flat spots and a chill vibe. Staff are super friendly, facilities spotless. Great on-site shop/cafe. Perfect base for Forest of Dean/Wye Valley. Note: play area better for older kids, access road's a bit rough. Highly recommended!
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















A good quality site with clean facilities and level pitches.
Power optional concrete and grass caravan site
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.

Great site, clean and tidy and very welcoming
Camping pod
Liked Lovely Campsite, Pod was ideal for a short break for me and my 8 yr old, no stress of putting tent up. Decent size fridge and plenty of sockets, decking area with chairs and coffee table and the Pod was shaded by a tree which was very welcome in 30 degree heat. Lovely little shop open until 4pm. The toilets and showers were immaculate, 10 mins drive into a the small town of Coleford and 10 mins to Puzzlewood which did not disappoint, fire pits and logs available to hire but we took our own.
Staff and owners were very friendly and kind- waste and recycling facilities clean and tidy and kept on top of. Quite in the evenings - all round great site would definitely return
Disliked Nothing really, would be nice if the shop was open later.
