Liked Small site very quiet, basic facilities. Nice dog exercise areas. Good base for exploring local sites of interest. Friendly staff who left you alone and like some sites did not try to micromanage. Good TV reception.

Disliked The owners need to update the site and include wi-fi as basic requirements.

Liked Pitched near the lake which was delightful. This is a beautifully kept site, thoughtfully laid out with immaculate facilities, scrupulously clean. Lovely quiet site with nice walks around, close to the Forest of Dean and only a couple of minutes’ drive to town for supermarkets, etc. Highly recommend.

Disliked Not a thing to dislike.

Liked Location is wonderful and staff extremely attentive and friendly. We met discerning people returning from previous years. Views from the campervan across the rolling hills were uplifting. The site is large and has beautiful small ponds/lakes and 2 dog exercise areas - this was more than sufficient for our collie's shorter walks as she needs a lot of stimulation. The site felt very spacious and tent groups could locate well away from each other. Close to the forest, although not easy walking distance. Recommendation of The Rising Sun at Mosley Green for my birthday meal was lovely - right in the forest, great food and drinks, views out over a small valley, such friendly staff it was like a family home and they were so welcoming to our dog. Site, shower and washing up blocks were clean and modern.

Disliked We had an issue with the water temperature in the showers. One day they went cold, this was rectified and then they were too hot! The staff were very attentive in rectifying the problem as quickly as they could. We also had to book an extra pitch for our pup tent - would have preferred to be on the same pitch but they kindly put us on neighbouring pitches. Bit of noise from the A48 but only at peak times. These are the only reasons not to give 10 stars.

Liked An absolutely fantastic campsite, a lovely welcome and chat with the owner who showed us to our grass tent pitch with electric hook up. We took our two dogs with us a Trailhound and a Rottie who absolutely loved both the two secure dog exercise fields, the dog pond and when it was extremely hot, the dog wash area to cool them off, along with meeting lots of other dogs on their holibobs too. A beautifully laid out site with another two lakes to enjoy. A lovely modern toilet and shower block which were kept immaculately clean throughout our stay along with the laundry and washing up area. A tranquil and peaceful relaxing site which is going to be a regular weekender for us to come to and just unwind.

Disliked There is nothing to dislike! Fantastic.

Liked Totally dog-welcoming (not just tolerated); lots of space between pictches; great facilities

Disliked Walk to the town alongside main road (no footpath).

Liked Extremely clean, and ample toilet and shower facilities. Very quiet site, well located for a stop off heading to the South West from Scotland. Close to lots of walks and for older kids Go Ape and Sculpture Park.

Disliked It didn’t feel like there would be a big welcome to larger family groups. It was fine for me as a solo parent with one tween and for a short out of season stay.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback, so pleased you enjoyed your stay. As a small campsite our visitors largely consist of couples and small families - people looking for some quiet time and to enjoy the beautiful and natural landscape with a wide range of wildlife. As such we do not have children's facilities onsite, there is lots to do in the Forest and surrounding areas.

Liked The beautiful setting. Site was immaculately clean. Best facilities I’ve stayed in to date! Lovely welcome on arrival.

From the manager: Obviously we are very disappointed to read this 3/10 graded review given we could not have done anything in our powers to improve your dislikes. Especially as this seems to be a result of a simple misunderstanding I was not aware of.
You booked a non-electric pitch and was therefore not allocated an electric hook up. I recall you asked on arrival, before being sited, if we happen to have any electric available. I confirmed (truthfully) that unfortunately we did not as we were up to full capacity for the nights of your stay. Please be assured I always offer it for sale when it is available.
At no time during your stay did you come and ask about moving pitches and any empty pitches were not those that had electric allocated. Like most small (or indeed large) sites we have a limited amount of electric supply to the site. We have to ensure we only book pitches within that capacity or risk tripping out the supply. We have more plugin points than we have capacity. We are set up in this way so we can be flexible in where we pitch people to suit their needs. So if you saw any empty plugin points it was not because we had electric available, it will have been because we had reached the maximum number of points elsewhere on the site. I am very happy to explain this to visitors when asked.
