  • Quiet and scenic site with direct access to Forest of Dean footpaths
  • Clearwell Caves 15 minutes’ drive; Tintern Abbey half an hour
  • Dog exercise field and modern bathrooms; pubs a mile away
Fancy the chance to go walking in the woods without having to drive there first? Deanwood Caravan and Camping has direct access to footpaths taking you into the Forest of Dean – so it really could hardly be easier to get out and explore this gorgeous Gloucestershire scenery. Getting out for a walk might take you along woodland trails in search of local birds and wild animals – or it might involve heading up to Yorkley village, a mile away, which has a dog-friendly pub as well as a well-stocked shop (a handy place to pick up picnic supplies or something to throw on your barbecue back at base). Dogs are very welcome at this peaceful site, and they will have access to their own exercise field where they can have a good run around off lead. Other facilities include washing-up areas and access to a fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. Toilets and showers are housed in a modern heated block so there’s no need to worry about chilly toes… The Forest of Dean is a fairly compact area, so pretty much all of its attractions are within a 10/15-minute drive; there’s also more to see and do over in the nearby Wye Valley National Landscape, including canoeing or just admiring spectacular river views at Symonds Yat (half an hour’s drive). Three miles away, the town of Lydney has various leisure facilities including indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and is a handy source of shops, supermarkets and restaurants.

What customers say

Deanwood Caravan and Camping is a tranquil spot with amazing forest views. Guests rave about the super clean site, especially the modern loos and showers. The friendly, helpful owners and direct forest walk access get a big thumbs-up, as does the dog area. Pitches are usually neat and roomy. WiFi can be hit-or-miss, and tent pitches are a bit pricey for some, but most visitors loved it and want to come back.

Beech Row powered grass caravan site

Liked Small site on a hill upabove River Severn valley and Forest of Dean. Pitches with gravel for big caravans and fields separated with hedges for campervans and tents, with EHUs. Friendly and welcoming owners. Very organised: sent through arrival info with PIN for security gate before arrival and explained personally everything & gave to me information leaflet. Facilities are all extremely clean and proactively checked throughout the day. Kitchen with laundry and fridge. Pleasant view towards forest and side gate onto forest path. Totally tranquil.

Powered grass and gravel caravan site (premium)

Liked A great site and brilliant for walking, with or without dogs,⁸ straight from the site. Very peaceful when we stayed. Lots of really thoughtful touches from the hosts which were appreciated. Anita was lovely. Clean and tidy site. A great base to explore the Forest of Dean.

Disliked Hot water in the showers seemed to have a bit of a mind of its own!

Recommend to friends Visit again

A great place for a stay, lots to do in the area.

Local attractions

Sights in the Forest of Dean include Clearwell Caves (15 minutes’ drive), an underground system of nine natural caverns that were mined for iron ore from Roman times until well into the 19th century; and Puzzlewood (15 minutes), an area of ancient woodland laced with paths. Both sites have been used as settings for various episodes of ‘Doctor Who’. A former prison built in the 18th century, Littledean Jail (15 minutes) now houses an eclectic collection ranging from punk-rock memorabilia, to witchcraft-related artefacts. There are also location-appropriate displays such as village stocks, body cages and hangman’s nooses, plus personal items of notorious criminals like the Kray Twins. Tintern Abbey (half an hour), sitting in ruins on the Welsh bank of the River Wye, was founded in the 1100s and became a victim of Henry VIII’s dissolution of the monasteries policy just four centuries later. In addition to falconry displays, the site runs informative guided tours shedding light on the life of the monks.
