  • 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.

Bluebell primitive grass tent campsite

Liked The view from our spot and many other was amazing.

The direct access to the woods was fantastic, great directions from the Aussie fella that checked us in, to direct us how to walk to a really good pub called the Miners Arms, which had great food and beer, as well as really good play area for our son and other kids to enjoy.

Pizza truck on a Saturday was awesome.
Really good quality pizza.
The food was almost surpassed by the two chefs dry sense of humour, but the pizzas were just that little bit better.

Nice facilities.
My wife liked the fact it was secure with the coded gate.

Bluebell primitive grass tent campsite

Liked We had a fantastic first stay at this lovely, peaceful site. We received a warm welcome on arrival, with all the information we needed. There’s a lovely pub about a mile away where we enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch, which we would highly recommend.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this site. We’ll certainly be back!

Beech Row powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Location. Adjoining woods. Good size pitched and lots of space to manoeuvre caravan. Very helpful, welcoming and friendly staff.

Disliked The showers weren't great. The view from the pitch was limited. There was loud music from the on-site buildings (residential) into the night.
I wouldn't bother with the pizza van. Quite expensive for what it is.

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.
