  • 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

This campsite offers a peaceful retreat with stunning Forest of Dean views and direct woodland access. Guests praise immaculate facilities, spacious sites, and helpful staff. Free laundry and a pizza van are popular. While some find hardstanding pitches clinical or the walk to pubs steep, overall it's highly positive, with many planning returns.

Hedgeside powered grass travel trailer campsite (sloping)

Liked Quiet, tidy and well organised site with pitches to suit a wide variety of tastes. Friendly and helpful owners. Beautiful views of a lovely part of England. The location is perfect for exploring the Forest of Dean, Wye valley, Severn valley and Monmouthshire. An ideal placed :)

Disliked I didn't experience anything to dislike. The terms and Conditions can seem a little offputing though and are best read before booking...something I didn't do. That said compliance is straight forward.

Beech Row powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely big pitches, easy access to toilets and showers. Which were spotlessly clean. Owners very friendly and helpful. Great walks straight from the campsite. Enclosed dog field so our dog with questionable recall could have a run around. 100% be returning.

June M.

Powered gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely campsite, great views very clean facilities and friendly staff.
I nice pub about a mile away straight from the campsite.
Large dog field and lots of walks through the forest.

Disliked Only a minor dislike when we arrived and were shown where our pitch was, we were a little shocked it was a gravel pitch which actually looked like a car park with no views.
There was also a large green , what looked like a factory unit in here also.
This was however swiftly dealt with a helpful member of staff , and were able to pitch along side a grass pitch on the gravel.

Judith H.

Beech Row powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked We really liked the level pitches; we parked on the gravel and our awning went on the grass. The shower and toilets were always clean and plenty of hot water.

The owners were welcoming and helped us choose the pitch for us. Liked the security on the site.

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.
