A clean, well-kept campsite with spacious, level spots and a relaxed vibe. Guests rave about the friendly staff, modern facilities, on-site shop/cafe, and location near Forest of Dean. Access road is steep. Recommended.

Power optional grass campsite
Liked Welcoming right from arrival .. very friendly staff offering helpful advice on locality, quick safe ways walking into Coleford and surrounding area. The site itself is a pleasure to spend a few days in … pretty and attractive with autumnal flowers and peaceful camping pitches. Lovely woodland walks nearby. The facilities here are so clean and tidy. In all, a really great campsite experience. Thanks so much!

From the manager: Thanks so much for your lovely review. We are really pleased to read your comments and that you enjoyed your stay.
You’re quite right about the play area, it is a bit limited at the moment, but don’t worry, we’ve got new kit lined up to go in over the winter, so the little ones will have a lot more to enjoy next season. Thanks also for the feedback on the shop/reception hours – we’ll have a think about how to make those more helpful.
Sorry about the strict bloke… that would be my husband Andy - he really is quite nice but he does get very protective of the grass - we’ve had a fair few BBQ and firepit burns this year. We have been working on softening his approach. We promise to polish up his people skills before you come back or we will keep him out the back!! 😉
Thanks again for staying with us, and we hope to see you again soon.

Nice site well run.
Power optional grass campsite
Liked Clean and quiet.
Disliked Having to use my phone to use an app. The whole point of camping is to get away from stress. We registered on the app. Got kicked off the electric supply, don't know how long for and our coolbox was left not working and we don't know how long for. The problem wasn't rectified we were given a spliter to run off of our other plot. Another problem was inconsiderate parents. We've been camping for 25 yrs plus , no reflection on the owners but children running around our tent pulling on guy ropes . The parents just don't care. I don't mind kids having fun but be respectful.
1 small groan, why would you put the caravans ( probably with loo,s on board) nearest the facilities?
