Broadstone Park

Location, walks staight into the woods from the site.

Booked this site for a couple of nights over New Year, ground was pretty wet at the time of arrival with grass pitches mostly on sloping ground. Managed to get parked up on a levelish pitch at top of the field but as soon as we stoped moving, wheels started spinning in forward and reverse. The area immediately outside of our campervan sliding door was very muddy resulting in us, our footwear and dog creating a muddy vehicle interior over the course of our stay. The male toilets didn't appear to get cleaned during our stay, the same muddy patches on floor that were there when we arrived were still there when we left two days later. The two wash up sinks were a decent size and seemed to have plenty of hot water but we could only use one of them as only one had a plug in it and didn't fit as being too small for the drain hole so we had to have the hot water going all the time we were washing up to keep pace with what was going out the plug hole. Managed to find a couple of blocks of wood someone previously must have used to get off their pitch to wedge under our front wheels to enable us to drive off our pitch which we luckily managed to do. The main road outside the site entrance was pretty noisey on occasion and think it may be quite intrusive in better weather with more traffic around. Some other campers we spoke to said they had walked to a nearby pub for dinner along the main road but we wouldn't really fancy doing that especially in the dark as the road is pretty fast and there didn't seem to be any pavements. Baring in mind the ground conditions and sloping terrain, this is not really an all year round site, having a hard standing would have resulted in a far more enjoyable stay for us without all the muddy mess created and the subsequent cleanup when we got home. Investing in creating some hard standings would make this site more of an all year destination.

I booked last minute for new years eve for me, my daughter & our dog.
We was welcomed immediately as we entered the site & shown to our pod & where toilets are etc, which were of a high cleanliness standard.

It's in a perfect location aswell, forest of Dean, go Ape & the town of Monmouth, which was a ten minute drive to the local chip shop.

Perfect location if your camping with young one's.

We will definitely be returning in the near future.

Good location
Viable services
Great walking directly out of the site

The 'storm Arwen' caused a 36hr power outage which was a problem for those who needed power hook up and/or without on-board gas...it was -5deg overnight!
This was out of control for the site owners and nothing they could do.

Beautiful scenery. Nature on the doorstep. Fantastic woodland walks. Quiet and unspoilt. Excellent communication and very helpful and friendly staff.

- All staff, locals and campers were really friendly and helpful during my visit which made our stay so much more enjoyable.
- Site has a great little onsite Bar/Cafe. It's only big enough for around 6 people however has a lovely area outside with a wood burner and benches which overlook one of the fishing lakes. Perfect for a quiet evening drink.
- Nice woodland walks which are accessed directly via the rear of the site.
- The site has a nice mixture of friendly farm animals which was lovely to see. During our morning walk we we're greeted by ducks, chickens, geese and turkeys.
- The site has a nice and relaxed 12pm checkout time which gives you plenty of time to pack up, have breakfast and explore the local walks.
- Show and Toilet facilities we're pleasant.
- The whole site was nice and quiet at night with only animal and road noise that could be heard.

- Unfortunately the biggest issue I had was that many of the pitches we're muddy and there was no option for gravel or hard standing pitches (Hopefully this is something the site will add in the near future). Due to the time of year and the recent weather there was quite a bit of mud and my van become very dirty during our stay.
- Most of the pitches are quite close to the nearby road which can be both seen and heard during the day and at night. It would be nice if trees and/or taller hedges could be added along the boundary in the future to limit the impact from this.
- I was disappointed to find that there was no onsite hot food offered in the evening.
- Sloping pitches made our stay slightly unconfutable.

Warm reception friendly host. Spacious site and dog walking all amenities provided including cider

Lovely clean, well-appointed site with plenty of space and fishing available. Beautiful area, with Monmouth only a few miles away. Shop and bar, which is small and friendly, where you can have a drink and relax, inside, or out. Great walks from the site into the woods, or up to The Kymin, a National Trust site, situated in a designated AONB and having lots of history related to honouring the Royal Navy and its victories. Abundance of wildlife around - we will definitely be back!

Busy road nearby could be considered a problem by some in the warmer weather when sitting outside relaxing but we had no issues with this.

lovely views, nice field and café on site. Staff were friendly and helpful and great base for trips out. would go again

showers' are a bit old, but were clean and communal fridges needed a good clean.

Note they allow groups of people so music/noise goes on, did not bother us but some may not apricate this.

Facilities, location to walks, staff, cleanliness of site

Can end up fairly close to the road / traffic with your pitch… but it’s very very quiet from 9/10pm onwards.
