  • Quiet and scenic site with direct access to Forest of Dean footpaths
  • Clearwell Caves 15 minutes’ drive; Tintern Abbey half an hour
  • Dog exercise field and modern bathrooms; pubs a mile away
Fancy the chance to go walking in the woods without having to drive there first? Deanwood Caravan and Camping has direct access to footpaths taking you into the Forest of Dean – so it really could hardly be easier to get out and explore this gorgeous Gloucestershire scenery. Getting out for a walk might take you along woodland trails in search of local birds and wild animals – or it might involve heading up to Yorkley village, a mile away, which has a dog-friendly pub as well as a well-stocked shop (a handy place to pick up picnic supplies or something to throw on your barbecue back at base). Dogs are very welcome at this peaceful site, and they will have access to their own exercise field where they can have a good run around off lead. Other facilities include washing-up areas and access to a fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. Toilets and showers are housed in a modern heated block so there’s no need to worry about chilly toes… The Forest of Dean is a fairly compact area, so pretty much all of its attractions are within a 10/15-minute drive; there’s also more to see and do over in the nearby Wye Valley National Landscape, including canoeing or just admiring spectacular river views at Symonds Yat (half an hour’s drive). Three miles away, the town of Lydney has various leisure facilities including indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and is a handy source of shops, supermarkets and restaurants.

Liked We had a lovely night here. Beautiful views and access to the forest right from the edge of the site. The staff/management were very friendly and helpful, both before and during our visit. The online check in system was very good, also allowing us to message the site with very quick responses received.

Bluebell non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Amazing views from the pitch we had in Bluebell Field, was not allocated pitch so we had our choice of available pitches on arrival. Meant we got to choose an absolute beauty.

Kitchenette, shower block and toilets immaculately clean and water nice and hot for showers and washing up. In the centre of campsite so easy walk from any pitch.

Cows in the next field kept all children on campsite amused in the morning and some adults too.

Really chilled vibe around the campsite.

Lots of bird song, and squirrels running up and down the hedges.

Sunsets over Forest were gorgeous as were the views of the stars as very little light pollution from site.

Good 4G signal on site for us.

Disliked Absolutely nothing, I’m not sure we have ever stayed at a more perfect campsite.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Would recommend the site and will probably visit again next year.

Local attractions

Sights in the Forest of Dean include Clearwell Caves (15 minutes’ drive), an underground system of nine natural caverns that were mined for iron ore from Roman times until well into the 19th century; and Puzzlewood (15 minutes), an area of ancient woodland laced with paths. Both sites have been used as settings for various episodes of ‘Doctor Who’. A former prison built in the 18th century, Littledean Jail (15 minutes) now houses an eclectic collection ranging from punk-rock memorabilia, to witchcraft-related artefacts. There are also location-appropriate displays such as village stocks, body cages and hangman’s nooses, plus personal items of notorious criminals like the Kray Twins. Tintern Abbey (half an hour), sitting in ruins on the Welsh bank of the River Wye, was founded in the 1100s and became a victim of Henry VIII’s dissolution of the monasteries policy just four centuries later. In addition to falconry displays, the site runs informative guided tours shedding light on the life of the monks.
