Primitive grass campsite
Liked Modern toilets/shower, plenty of space on the pitch, area was very quiet
The perfect campsite DOES exist!!
Power optional grass campsite
Liked Absolute perfection! All new campsites should be modelled on this one. Great pitches, fab views, pristine facilities, excellent location, but topped off by the nicest owner you could possibly meet! Jess is just lovely. Will do anything tonight help out. Super friendly!! Will definitely be back.
Overall an excellent stay will be definitely booking again

Power optional grass campsite
Liked This is a lovely site which has only been open 1 year. The pitch size was generous, the toilet block was lovely and clean, the family who run the site were friendly and the reception/shop was a nice bonus. Would absolutely stay there again.
Perfect, relaxing retreat.
Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Lovely clean site, peaceful, great views. Owners are a delight. Facilities are top class and the whole site is perfectly manicured. Local forest walks straight from site, 10 minute drive to Tesco’s, Lidl and other convenience stores and takeaway food etc. nearby attractions (half hour drive) such as Tintern Abbey and Symonds Yat. Dog friendly and all round just a perfect retreat for a relaxing break. I’ve stayed at many sites across the country and this is now one of my favourites!
Disliked Nothing at all and we will definitely go back.
If I had one gripe, it’s a small one. The timer light in the shower block could be a little longer as I had a late shower when it was dark and it went off before I’d finished and I was still in the cubicle getting dressed. This was quickly solved by waving the towel over the door though.
A great site, spotlessly clean, quiet and super friendly staff (Jess).…

Power optional grass campsite
Liked A lovely clean and welcoming site. Jess was there to greet us in her well stocked shop and provided us with lots of information. The pitches were a generous size and well looked after. Lovely views and a great location.
Disliked Unbeknown to us on the first of our 2 night stay, a group of about 30 young men doing their Duke of Edinburgh Award were staying on site. As we are early risers (6.30 am) when my husband went to use the shower facilties (of which there are only 3 showers), it was pure mayhem for about 1.5 hours and also the washing up area was the same. I think we should have been informed of this on our arrival as this size site does not really have the facilities for these size groups.
Fabulous big pitches, brand new toilets and showers. Nice little shop. Jess…
