  • 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 well-kept park boasts stunning Forest of Dean views and direct woodland trail access. Guests rave about spotlessly clean facilities, friendly staff, and ample space. The dog run and pizza truck are highlights. Though some spots are a bit sterile, overall it’s fantastic, with many planning to return.

Foxglove Field powered grass tent campsite

Liked ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A little bit of camping that felt like something special ❤️🏕️

We’ve just come back from a few nights at Deanwood Caravan and Camping, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough.

What made this place stand out for me wasn’t just the beautiful location or the facilities — it was all the little touches that take a campsite from being good to being genuinely WOW.

The layout of the site is fantastic. Everything feels like it has been thought about properly, rather than just being a field full of pitches. One of my favourite touches was the fire pit slab on the pitch. It might sound like such a small thing, but it makes such a difference. Sitting around the fire with the kids in the evening, knowing everything had its own proper place, just made the whole experience feel that bit more special. 🔥

There’s something really lovely about being able to put the phones down, get outside, cook together, sit around the fire and just enjoy being together as a family. These are the sort of memories the kids will remember, and that means a lot to me.

The site is peaceful, beautifully maintained and surrounded by the Forest of Dean, so there’s plenty to explore during the day before coming back to relax at the campsite.

But honestly, it’s the attention to detail that I’ll remember most. The little things that you might not expect, but that make you think, “Someone has actually thought about what campers need.”

We came away feeling like we'd had a proper little escape, and that's exactly what we needed.

A massive thank you to everyone at Deanwood for making our stay so enjoyable. We’ve made some lovely family memories here, and I genuinely hope we’ll be back again.

Deanwood — thank you for taking camping from good to WOW. ❤️🏕️🔥

Disliked If I’m being completely honest, there was only one thing we disliked about Deanwood…

Having to leave! 😢🏕️

After such a lovely few days, enjoying the site, sitting around the fire, exploring the Forest of Dean and most importantly spending proper family time together, it really was a case of not wanting the trip to end.

Sometimes you know you've found somewhere special when the hardest part is packing the tent away and heading home.

So Deanwood, our only complaint is that you made us enjoy ourselves so much that we didn't want to leave!

Already looking forward to coming back. ❤️🔥🏕️

Hedgeside powered grass travel trailer campsite (sloping)

Liked Very clean, friendly staff, great views and of the sunset too! Fab that you can walk straight into the forest and easy walk to the pub too 👍🏻

Disliked I know some have put that it’s like a car park but I think on that totally depends on the pitch you have - wasn’t an issue for us.

Beech Row powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Beautiful views, excellent shower and cleaning facilities.

I can't recommend this site enough to people wanting to visit the Forest of Dean.

We were warmly welcomed by the owner and advised on which of the available pitches would be the best for my son and I.

With access to the forest a stone's throw away, my son was entertained for the whole 3 nights.

The moveable BBQ bases on each pitch were a nice touch.

My little one's asked if we can visit again next year!

Bluebell primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Very welcoming owner, friendly cat! Beautiful views, lovely big flat pitch and given choice of a few. Water points in various places meaning one is close no matter where you are on the site. Facilities clean, spacious, all working well. Close to everything we wanted to do. Would happily stay again.

Bluebell primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Amazing camp site, great space for my children and dog to run around at. Had lots to do for children. Cows in local field, ping pong table, football and basketball to do. In open space which we all enjoyed for a short break.

Disliked Dog poo bins needed to be emptied more regularly. Did a 3 days stint and bin at dog field wasn’t emptied once.

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.
