What customers say
This is a clean, well-maintained campsite with friendly staff and spacious pitches. Facilities are modern and consistently praised. It's ideally located for exploring the Forest of Dean, with easy walking access to Coleford. The on-site shop and cafe are popular. Some guests noted the access road is steep and bumpy, and younger children might find the play area limited, though a park is nearby.

Bell tent
Liked Very spacious tent. Very clean and comfortable. Excellent facilities including 1 ring gas cooker, cutlery and dishes. The site itself is lovely and quiet, loads of walks nearby, including easy walk into Coleford. Lots of shops in Coleford if you need supplies.
Disliked Only 1 small pot for cooking. However excellent hardware shop in town where I bought a new frying pan!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Oh no! I am really sorry about the lack of pots! The previous guest burnt the other and I had to throw it away - I meant to replace it but completely forgot. If you had popped to reception and let us know, we would have got a replacement. We will get that done!
Thanks for the great review. The tent would usually come with a BBQ too and log burner or firepit but we are advised against naked flame in the heat wave so have removed them. We do hope to welcome you back!
