 This really is a stunning site. Opened in 2015 and converted from a working farm, it includes a mixture of grass and hardstanding pitches - all with electric hook up and sited a reasonable distance apart so the site does not feel crowded. There is an immaculate shower and laundry block, a small shop and a café serving hot drinks, cakes, snacks and breakfast to order.
The owners - who are incredibly friendly and helpful - say they try and stock the items that visitors are most likely to have forgotten, and it certainly does appear that they have put some thought into it.
The location is lovely too, backing onto a beautiful area of woodland which at the time of our visit in May was full of bluebells. It's a short walk either through fields of sheep and spring lambs or alongside Slade Brook (a Site of Special Scientific Interest) to the village of St Briavels.
I have just one constructive criticism, which isn't enough to downgrade my rating. Following our visit over the May Bank holiday, the bins provided were nowhere near sufficient to accommodate the waste left by quite a number of visitors at once. Clearly this is the exception and I have no doubt that it was all cleared later in the day, but if they had parked something like a small trailer or a big hippo bag for the excess waste it would have looked far tidier and more hygienic.
But that's enough negativity. Like I said, the site is stunning and I would recommend it wholeheartedly if you are visiting the Forest of Dean or the Wye Valley.

We stayed here over the bank holiday weekend, it is a lovely site, not very big about 50 pitches. Which were all filled over the weekend, but was not a noisy site. Lovely walks to do from site and close to lots of places. We walked to The Gerorge pub in St. Brevials and had a lovely meal.
They had a curry night on the Saturday which had to be ordered by 3pm and was then delivered to your pitch which was enjoyed by all. They also do the same with breakfast orders.
Toilets and showers are all kept very clean.
The two sisters which run the site are very friendly and helpful. Would definitely return.

New site growing as the seasons progress. Very modern and clean facilities the equal of any 'club' site. Very helpful staff, nothing too much trouble. Good for walks with the dogs (2) from the site and further afield all pubs seem to welcome dogs. Plenty of attractions in local area and wi-fi on site at a very good rate makes up for lack of a mobile signal. No faults, site just lies in a hollow where signal is lost. A very enjoyable break of three nights and are intending to return. Party of 2 adults and 2 springer spaniels.

Stayed her for the last part of the half term.
An easy to find site (follow directions on website not sat nav) that is relatively new - we were told it only opened in March.
Nice big pitches, and about half the site was occupied.
Facilities
They offer food in he reception, provided it is booked in advance, and there is a limited shop there too which has most of the basics needed.
Helpful staff, knowledgeable about the local area and eager to make our stay as pleasant as possible.
Toilet block was clean and spacious (it is a new building) with plenty of hot water.
Local area is great for walking and biking, dog got a bit muddy on the walk wound the vicinity of the camp, and we then went on to cycle in the Forest of Dean.
This site overall is excellent, fantastic facilities and lots to do nearby. The site has no phone signal, and they loan you a cable for the tv reception - as I said, so helpful.
Wifi is the cheapest we have encountered for 'paid' wifi at only £1 per day
Definitely coming back again.

What a wonderful site ! we turned up late and were left directions to our pitch via a map (very hard to read even with glass's)and the pitch numbers were impossible to see in the dark BUT that was the only problem ! The pitches are spacious, owners helpful, facilities excellent! Cant think of anything that was not catered for. There is a café incorporated into the reception for breakfast if needed, shop, lovely walks (with directions ). The local pub half hr walk does amazing food. Needless to say we will be going back ! :)

Welcoming helpful reception. £10 cash refundable for barrier. Lovely big and airy shower/toilet block and clean. Unfortunately on last day after 6 tenters and 3 caravans pitched, I had to clear away someones makeup removal pad from the sink area. No excuse as large bin nearby, are these people as mucky at home?
Good sized level pitch that didn't feel cramped with awning and car.
Very lucky with the weather, few showers when visiting Symonds Yat so slightly soggy dogs.
We arrived when only half the pitches were occupied, but even then the bins were full, so need more bins and appears that Gloucestershire doesn't do recycling.
Very quiet at night, no traffic noise, just the odd owl.

Stayed here for two nights after picking up our new van(close to Dealer) Easy access, good and easy check in. £10 refundable deposit for barrier key card. Good sized open pitches with slight slope. Electric and tv point at all pitches. Small shop with basic necessities and a small cafe in reception. Good new facilities as site has not been open long. There are a few pubs in the vicinity, two of which we tried for evening meals. The Orepool and the Miners inn at Coleford, both good eateries.

What a lovely site, everything is clean and new. The sisters that run the site are polite and professional, fully stocked shop and the toilet/shower block are spotless. We have a 2 & 4 year old that will not shower but this was not a problem as the disabled toilet has a small bath. I would recommend this site to all my friends.
Will definitely stay there again.

We stopped at this site on our way back from Wales, it was a last minute booking the night before we arrived, we booked it as our normal site in the area was full, , We are so glad we did! What a lovely little site, from our first arrival we where made to feel welcome by Jo, we booked for four nights and despite very poor weather we have enjoyed our time here, the site is clean and tidy and laid out perfectly on the edge of a wood with a good walk for our two dogs, the shower are modern, spotless and free! With plenty of hot water and a separate little private drying area, which impressed my wife no end, , there is a nice little shop for essentials and its short drive to coleford with supermarkets ect ect, a couple of nice pubs are quite close as well, , there is so much to do and see in the Forest of Dean, and all within a short drive or even bike ride, , we love it and will return for the changing colours of autumn very soon, , this is now our favoured site, need I say more!

A lovely site very clean the girls are so friendly nothing is to much trouble. A bit muddy in the valley but a good pair of wellies sorted, the site is quiet not close to shops etc but the onsite shop has most things including great bbq packs plus the bacon or sausage and egg rolls are a great start to the morning it has only been open a short time but if the girls keep this standard up they will be very busy thankyou for a wonderful relaxing stay.
