  • Relaxed, family-friendly campsite 10 minutes’ drive from Chepstow
  • Wye Valley National Landscape 15 minutes’ drive; Tintern 20 minutes
  • Communal kitchen and games room; pub in Woolaston 20 minutes’ walk
Halfway between historic Chepstow and seaside Lydney (both 10 minutes’ drive) in Gloucestershire, family-friendly Sheephouse Campsite is handily located for forays into the Forest of Dean and expeditions to gorgeous Tintern Abbey (both 20 minutes). Everything about this laidback site is designed to make life easy for you. There are no firm arrival or departure times, and no set pitches on the more-or-less level camping field – which has views over to the River Severn, by the way – so family groups and friends can pitch up together. Your younger offspring can busy themselves on the climbing frame and slide, while teens may well head straight to the games room with table-tennis and pool tables, as well as a chill-out area for hanging out with new pals and USB charging points for your devices. The simple shared kitchen has a washing-up sink, freezer, kettle and a table and chairs for eating if the weather is not up to alfresco dining. Woolaston (five minutes’ drive/20 minutes’ walk) has a couple of farm shops for picking up bits to barbecue (bring your own), or you could abandon the car and stroll down to the pub, which does a good line in curries, served both in-house and as takeaways.

What customers say

This campsite gets props for friendly owners, clean facilities, and great value. Guests loved the game room, play area, and roomy spots. Road noise was a minor point, but manageable for most. Flexible check-in/out and a welcoming vibe stood out. Recommended for families and relaxing breaks.

Liked A tidy, well presented, clean pitch and campsite.
Delighted by the flatness of the pitch and the lack of stones when hammering in the pegs.

And, as a extra, the Sunday Summer car
Boot sale was in the field next door!

We had a great time, thank you ☺️

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The space and freedom to explore. The welcoming and family feel, the cats and chickens.

Disliked Being next to a main road there was a bit of road noise that kept us up a little, but I should have realised that when booking it.

Local attractions

Cyclists have easy access to the Wye Valley Greenway (20 minutes by bike), or you can up the physical ante with climbing and abseiling at waterside Symonds Yat (35 minutes). Hikers should grab their boots and head off into the Wye Valley National Landscape (15 minutes’ drive) to follow sections of the scenic Wye Valley Walk along the river banks. Kids unwilling to walk? Tempt them with colourful art installations on the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail (25 minutes), or let them have a run around in the moss-covered undergrowth at Puzzlewood (15 minutes). If little legs tire, you can all hop aboard the Forest of Dean Railway (10 minutes) to chug through the woodland by heritage train. Clearwell Caves (15 minutes) will also intrigue most children with its network of underground caverns once mined for iron ore; today a self-guided tour leads to a beautifully illuminated and ice-cold subterranean lake. Learn more about local heritage with a visit to spectacular Tintern Abbey (20 minutes), with its photogenic setting by the River Wye, or take a look around medieval Chepstow Castle (10 minutes) on its craggy hilltop.
