Liked: An outstanding campsite! I have been camping since childhood and this is the cleanest most nicely appointed 'site I have ever stayed at; Jess, the owner was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about local attractions, nothing was too much trouble. The views were superb too and it was lovely and quiet with lots of birdsong and woodland walks.
Disliked: Nothing to report...

Liked: Really clean and welcoming site. Great walks nearby. Really liked the disposal of grey waste and elsan point all compact in one area.
Disliked: I found it a little remote for me. Though you can book a local bus but you need to do it a couple of days in advance

Primitive grass campsite
Liked: In all the PitchUp campsites we have been guests at, none of them top Forest Dean Camping. On arrival we were greeted at reception by Jess, who is friendly, welcoming, helpful with any questions & requirements needed. The site itself is beautiful. We travelled on a motorcycle so we only booked the tent pitch, which was huge. Everything we needed was very near to our pitch. We paid £12.00 for a campfire which was lovely to sit next too in the evening. Everything we needed was provided for the campfire, including a sheet to protect the grass & plenty of wood. Toilet facilities were very clean & well looked after. We didn't leave the campsite as we only booked the one night, but we will be returning for a longer stay. There was nothing about this site that disappointed us at all. Highly recommended.
Disliked: NONE

Liked: Beautiful location, a very quiet site with stunning views. Jess is so friendly and helpful with lots of knowledge about the local area. The pitches are huge and very well kept, all have views across the Forest.
The facilities are extremely clean and have enough showers/toilets for the size of the site. The small shop has plenty of basics at a reasonable price.
You can walk into the village (15 mins) which has a pub and small shop. We walked to the steam railway but that does involve some steep hills.
We loved our stay and will definitely be back.
