Date of Visit: September 2019  Confirmed Booking Unit:  Campervan
Nights stayed: 2 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: Ruthie 1 review from this member

 Super site, with large, flat pitches. All of the staff very friendly, and informative.

Very good, clean facilities. Nothing to fault.

Just one word of warning, if you decided to walk into St Briavels, as we did, it’s a lovely walk, but the footpath signs at the farm are very misleading.

Just keep on the same bearing. 


Date of Visit: August 2019 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Nights stayed: 6 Travelling as:  Family with older children
Reviewer: Silver Plated Spork 32 reviews from this member

 A lovely small site to which we will return one day. There are a mixture of hardstandings with grass and grass pitches but they are all huge. The facilities block is central to all pitches so not too far to walk. Clean, big showers with a hairdryer available, and washer and dryer too. Under cover washing up.

There is a small shop and cafe on site, although we ran out of time to use the cafe but they offered evening 'takeout' meals on some of the nights. There is a small amount of road noise from the B road but only at certain times of the day- I never mind hearing others going to work when I am on holiday!

The owners are extremely friendly and work very hard to keep the site well maintained.

We used this site as a base to visit sites in the Forest of Dean, such as Symonds Yat, Goodrich castle, Monmouth and Chepstow but also found it fairly easy to get to Cardiff in about an hour, and visited the National Museum of St Fagans and the Royal Mint Experience.

Reviewer: Thomo newbies 12 reviews from this member

 We chose this site as wanted to go mountain biking in Forest of Dean. Need to follow directions given by site. Site very clean with good facilities. F

amily who own and run site are lovely and helpful. Takeaway is great facility. Apart from walk to village you need to drive anywhere else but not too far - cycling 5 miles away, Beechenhurst visitor centre approx 6 miles away, Lydney, Coleford and Chepstow all easy to get to.

No phone signal at all but you can pay for wifi connection. Good mix of tents, caravans and motorhomes.

Will be returning in the future. 


Date of Visit: June 2019 Unit:  Tent

Reviewer: Fa-Fa 14 reviews from this member

 We picked this site because of the reviews on here and its one of the best run sites we've ever been to. The owning family could not be more helpful or friendly. You can tell they spend years with owning a building company, the standard of finish in the facilities is superb.

The site is a great base to access the beautiful Wye valley where you can either relax in the majestic countryside or take part in numerous light to challenging activities including mountain biking, canoeing and diving.

Its a great location for dog walking where one of us spotted a wild boar ! There are also goats and chickens on the site itself for the young ones to feed. You can hire firepits for £10/day with wood.

The site itself isn't huge and its a little caravan-intensive but its relatively quiet. The shower blocks are spotless but can get a little busy at peak times.

Make sure you follow the directions provided if you are in a large vehicle or towing, satnav will take you down some EXTREMELY narrow roads. We can recommend the food at the George in the local village St Briavels.

Reviewer: Cressy69 18 reviews from this member

 2nd year we have stayed on this site as it just gets better. There's not one single bad thing I can say about it. Jo and jess keep the site in tip top condition.

The shower block & shop are just 1st class. Also the takeaway on Friday & Saturday nights are fantastic. See you next year 


Date of Visit: July 2017 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Golden Girl 10 reviews from this member

 The first trip out in our new Motorhome.

We were more than pleased with this site. It had everything we needed - helpful owners, immaculate toilets and showers, excellent facilities.

From our first enquiry until the time we left we were made to feel very welcome and all our queries and problems were dealt with cheerfully and immediately.

A lovely area for walking and cycling or just enjoying the peace and quiet.

I hope that all other sites we use match this standard.

I would be more than happy to recommend this campsite to friends and family.

Reviewer: Kings510 2 reviews from this member

 Stayed for 3 nights, had a lovely time. The staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble.

Toilet & shower facilities very modern & kept very clean throughout our stay.

Excellent cooked breakfast served in the cafe/shop.

Lovely local walks through the woods, that the dog loved.

Will be definitely returning for another stay.

Reviewer: Cressy69 18 reviews from this member

 Just back from spending 5 days over the bank holiday here and the site is just fantastic. Very clean the pitches are very big and kept very nice all the staff are lovely.

The on site shop sells just about everything you will need fit you don`t want to leave the site takeaway service on a Friday and Saturday is great it even gets delivered to your door.

The woodland walks around the site are great and well signed posted and well worth it walk down to the waterfalls there's a few pubs within walking distance we didn't go to them but speaking to other people on the site they served good food all in all a great site and we will return soon :)
