What customers say

Well-kept, clean park with top-notch pool, spa & restaurant. Staff friendly, pitches roomy. Great forest walks for families & doggos. Some found activities pricey & signal patchy. Minor gripes: occasional noise, needs more frequent facility cleans.

The Mead powered gravel and concrete campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked We loved this site, we were so close to all the amenities and there was so much to do for all the family.
We went to the restaurant for breakfast and the service was very quick with lovely food. The site was very peaceful and well kept. The toilet blocks and washing facilities were very clean

The Mead powered gravel and concrete campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked The all weather pitch was great (make sure you bring pegs for a hard ground)! There's loads to do for the children so they will never be bored

Disliked The lifeguards were over strict when the adults tried to go into the sauna and steam room. The 3 children were in the baby pool which was extremely shallow and there was 3 people keeping an eye on them

Recommend to friends Visit again

Local attractions

For those seeking a bit of peace and quiet, there are stacks of splendid trails around the Forest of Dean to ramble or ride bikes along (and a bike hire place a few minutes’ walk away in Parkend if you need it). Should the kids demand more from their woodland outings, take them along to seek out dragons and unicorns along the themed trails at Puzzlewood, or launch themselves into the air on the ziplines and high ropes courses at Go Ape; both are 10 minutes away by car. Much of the area’s attraction is linked to its natural good looks, but there’s also manmade interest in the form of the miners’ caverns at Clearwell Caves and the puffing steam trains of the Dean Forest Railway (both 10 minutes' drive). In the unlikely event that you tire of this scenery, head west to the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for days visiting Goodrich Castle (20 minutes) and the Wye Valley Butterfly Zoo (25 minutes), or canoeing from Symonds Yat (25 minutes).
