Power optional concrete and grass caravan site
Liked Everything! The site was beautifully kept, clean with plenty of space on each pitch and a large area with no pitches which would be great for kids to play.
The location is great, 10-15 mins drive from most of the sights in the forest of dean and only a 10min drive to the nearest town with a supermarket. The views are incredible too and there is maps up near the toilets of local walks to see the deers roaming.
The little snack shop on site is great too when you don't fancy a drive for some chocolate!

Lovely site, very clean and great views
Power optional concrete and grass caravan site
Liked A very well laid out site, all new and very clean. We only stayed one night but would have enjoyed staying longer.
Disliked The site can't be faulted, but we did have a little undecided moment as we drove down the lane. The Sat Nav said we were going in the right direction but the lack of signs meant we weren't sure. The only sign we found was at the bottom of the lane just before the site.
