  • 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.

Foxglove Field powered grass tent campsite

Liked The friendly, welcoming staff, the scenery from our pitch, the cleanliness of the campsite, how close it is to local walks and the additional dog exercise field which was great for our 8 month old Vizsla. It was a great camping experience for our first time camping with our dog and the staff and the site made it memorable.

Powered gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked We had a fantastic stay at Deanwood Campsite in the Forest of Dean. The location is brilliant, with lovely views and a peaceful setting. The showers and toilets were absolutely immaculate, and the spacious, well-equipped kitchenettes were really useful for washing up.
The hosts were incredibly helpful, friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. There’s also a great pub, the Bailey Inn, just an 18-minute walk away, serving breakfast and lunches, with plenty of drinks available in the evening — perfect after a day exploring.
Deanwood also offers a lovely addition on a Sunday evening, in the form of a tasty woodside pizza van that pulls up on a Sunday evening! 🍕
A lovely campsite in a beautiful location, with everything you could want for a comfortable stay. We’d definitely return! 🌲🏕️

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.
