Gill J. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: We loved everything! All the facilities are 5 ⭐️ Staff are fabulous. We found the site by accident and used it as a stop off on the way back from Cornwall. Loved it so much we booked another stay before we left. It’s a tranquil site with lots to do with or without children. The evening entertainment is good. We were looking at the shows coming up and they look great. Places to visit in the local area if you wanted to explore. We went on the steam train (10 min drive) for afternoon tea and to Tintern Abbey, which is magnificent.

Disliked: Nothing here to dislike.

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Entertainment, pub, swimming pool, gym on site, activities for children and large field, dog exercise area with assault course. Pitch sizes were good. Shower block clean and tidy, shower was continual not a push button with a separate area to dress. Seen a deer while there!

Disliked: Narrow to get into, there was a rat issue while we were there, with a rats nest behind the pitch next to us BUT it was being dealt with. We were a fair distance to the shower blocks & toilets

Liked: The facilities were immaculate and the site was well maintained

Disliked: Having to leave a touring pitch by 11am is a shame as it cuts a whole day off your holiday. I am unsure what actually needs to be done to the pitch when check in isn’t until 3pm?

Fantastic stay! Will be going again for sure

Mega camping pod (no pets)

Liked: Open space Nice staff Good food Excellent facilities

Disliked: No transportation (we tried to use ober to go to the train station but no one accepted our request. Therefore, we walked from the camp to Lydney train station which is around 2 hours in a dangerous road). No cocker The shop has limited things to buy especially the fruits and the vegetables

From the manager: Hello, Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay. Areas such as the Forest of Dean do not have facilities such as Uber. We are located in a very rural location which is what most of our customers enjoy. Apart from this, we hope you enjoyed your stay. If you visit us again, we will be more than happy to assist you with finding local taxi phone numbers before you arrive onsite with us.

Great holiday park, will go back

Local attractions

For those seeking a bit of peace and quiet, there are stacks of splendid trails around the Forest of Dean to ramble or ride bikes along (and a bike hire place a few minutes’ walk away in Parkend if you need it). Should the kids demand more from their woodland outings, take them along to seek out dragons and unicorns along the themed trails at Puzzlewood, or launch themselves into the air on the ziplines and high ropes courses at Go Ape; both are 10 minutes away by car. Much of the area’s attraction is linked to its natural good looks, but there’s also manmade interest in the form of the miners’ caverns at Clearwell Caves and the puffing steam trains of the Dean Forest Railway (both 10 minutes' drive). In the unlikely event that you tire of this scenery, head west to the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for days visiting Goodrich Castle (20 minutes) and the Wye Valley Butterfly Zoo (25 minutes), or canoeing from Symonds Yat (25 minutes).
