We (2 adults & 1 6yr old) stayed here for 3 nights in July in our touring caravan with electric hook-up and it was great. Very helpful staff, nice clean and tidy site.
You get a key card for the barrier on arrival (£10 refundable on check-out).
Fantastic new toilet/shower block with a laundry room where you can dry your wet boots as well as clothes.
Clean showers with a mop which guests were using after they showered to clear up any grass etc. The cubicles have a bench seat & hooks to hang your stuff on as well as a shower curtain to keep it all dry! Water pressure wasn't great but it was better than some places I've been.
Toilets and sinks were also clean and there were hooks near the sinks too.
Inside the toilet/shower block was a selection of tourist leaflets and also books you could swap.
Outside were boot cleaning scrapers.
The main reception building also has a shop with the essentials (we had to get rice as I forgot to pack any!) as well as a cafe, which we didn't use.
Our son went to an adjoining field with another family where they could play too - more room for ball games. There is a path alongside the camping field to get there, but a gate needs to be added so you don't have to climb over the fence.
Some great very local attractions. We tried to go to Puzzlewood, but it was closed as they were filming something (couldn't tell us what though, very secretive!). We went to Perrygrove Railway instead, only across the road from Puzzlewood. That was great family fun, with a treasure hunt for the kids with treasure at the end if you get the answers to the questions right!
It rained one day so we went underground to Clearwell Caves, an old iron mine, again very local. Lots to read & see on a self led tour. A great way to stay dry!
There is also a steam railway in the area, Dean Forest Railway, which looks worth a visit.
All these were detailed in leaflets available on site.
We also took a short walk around the site through the woods, and it was very peaceful and quiet.
We paid the extra for the wifi (only £1 a day I think) & it was well worth it as we didn't have any mobile signal and were trying to get in touch with friends to meet up!
Overall a great site and well worth a visit. We would definitely return.
We booked this site as our first time exploring in the Forest of Dean area.
The site on first impressions was presented immaculately. We pulled over to check in at reception and was greeted with a very big smile from Beverly! Useful to know on arrival you will be asked for a £10 cash refundable deposit for the security barrier. We also purchased some wifi for the duration of our stay for £1 per day as we found phone signal (o2 & vodafone) was very limited.
As it was a first time in the area, we had done some initial research of things that we wanted to do and places to explore but Beverly couldn't have been more helpful providing us with maps of local walks, and telling us about the main places to see.
We were shown a map of the site with our allocated pitch, however we were told that as we had arrived on the Sunday if there was another pitch that we preferred (that hadn't already been booked) then we could move. All the pitches were very well marked and our pitch was marvellous. A huge pitch, which fitted our Outwell Montana 6 and van, and we still had plenty more space. The pitch was level and the well maintained with a EHU attached to the fence at the back of the pitch.
Toilet block was spotlessly clean throughout the week, with hot showers! Plenty of space in the shower cubicles to not get everything soaked whilst showering. As it is a fairly small site the toilet block is never a far away from any pitch.
The only thing I could find wrong with the whole site was the light timer in the showers. The light sensor doesn't pick you up in the cubicle so if like me, you like a long shower be prepared to finish in dark if you take too long! This shouldn't a problem when the site is busier with more people coming and going, but I was sometimes the only one in there.
Inside reception was a very small but well stocked shop and larger cafe. We were advised on arrival that breakfast was available if pre-booked the day beforehand. We immediately booked as we had made a school boy error and forgot to pick up food before our arrival and forgot all the supermarkets closed at 4 on Sunday! We were pleased we had booked, as breakfast was delicious and the coffee was tasty too.
The site's location is fantastic with a pub 5 minutes drive or 20 minute walk away with very friendly locals. Puzzlewood, Clearwell Caves, Littledean Jail are all within a 15 minute drive away, and the beautiful sites of Chepstow Castle, Tintern Abbey & Symonds Yat are about 25 minute drive away. The Forest of Dean itself is about a 10 minute drive away and has some great cycle paths! My other half loved the mountain bike trails!
If you are visiting Symonds Yat there is a lovely pub on the River Wye which serves lovely food with great views. I could sit there for hours and watch the world go by!
Around the site is a beautiful woods and river which you really must walk around! There is slight road noise to the site in the day, however come the evening this disappears. I awoke a few times in the night to complete silence. You could hear a pin drop from miles away!
I think during the duration of our stay there were about another 6 pitches occupied, however the site did not feel deserted. It had a very warm and welcoming feel. Even on Friday evening when the site became very busy it still felt welcoming and peaceful.
This family run site is so welcoming, peaceful and nothing is too much trouble for the owners. The site is a real credit to all their work and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone!
We will definitely be retuning!
The only thing we did notice in the surrounding areas is a lack of cash machines. The nearest supermarket was a large Co-op about 10/15 minute drive away.
Stayed on this site 4th July for 1 week, lovely small site, We were made very welcome, we used the small on site shop, facility's are excellent and staff superb. Shower blocks very clean and well maintained. In a great area for the Forrest of dean, and surrounding areas, two good pubs near by. Very dog friendly. And also have alovely facility to have a coked breakfast in the morning.
Stayed at this very charming site whilst visiting relatives in the area, the site is very well laid out and quite new, there is a small shop and cafe area in reception, we were made to feel very welcome by the owners, the site is constructed to a high standard, it is ideally located to visit the forest of dean, we shall definitely stay here again
Top site if you want all the facilities. I prefer more basic sites generally as they're better value for money. But this offers all that a family needs. 30 minute walk to pub at St brevials where menu looked good but I won't pay silly prices for pub grub.
Wonderful walk from sites and a great area for hikes among the steep step hills and forested valleys.
This was our second visit and have already booked for our 3rd in July, The site is run by a great family who are so friendly & helpful nothing is too much trouble for them. The showers are spotless & the home cooked breakfast is amazing. The pitches are really big so plenty of room to spread out. The walks in the forest are beautiful, we have been when the bluebells were out & again when the wild garlic was in flower, we are looking forward to the Autumn walk. My husband enjoys golf & had several local courses to choose from, The local Pubs serve great food, the views are fantastic, You are guaranteed peace & quite as most mobile phone don't get a signal apart from Vodaphone but they have a phone on site, they do have WIFI on site and even have a TV point on the hook up (an aerial cable of at least 10 meters is recommended), so if you want to leave behind the daily stress & strain of every day life you must visit as this site is amazing and would recommend to all.

Found the site very easy from the directions on the website. The owners and family are extremely friendly and helpful. The site and facilities are excellent and very clean and tidy. They also have a cafe on site selling coffee and cake, full English breakfast and it was marvellous. You will have to book it the day before. We felt very safe on site because of the barriers at the gates which you get an access card to enter for a £10 deposit. The food in the miners pub in Sling is worth a visit its fantastic but you will need to book. There is also a well stocked shop on site and if they don't have something in they can point you in the right direction as to where you can get it from. Will definitely be booking again.
This is a little gem that only opened in this Spring, but seems to already be getting booked up fast. We had a lovely stay over half term. It is a family run site and they couldn't have been more helpful, both through the booking stage and during the stay. There is barrier parking and a lovely safe feel to the site for kids to cycle or potter about. 10 acres of bluebell woods all around, which makes the new site feel more 'mature' than it is. The most peaceful setting between the Forest of Dean and Wye valley. Easy access to everything the area has to offer, whatever the weather. Excellent shower block with hot water and a bath for mucky kids. Lots of useful tourist information around and recommendations for day trips. Small shop for all the essentials and papers, but larger shops 10 mins away too. BBQ to hire. Great cafe for cooked breakfast(try to order the day before)and lunch. They even have a few kids toys and bikes for toddlers to use on site. They seem to have thought of everything!
Just returned from a weekend at this lovely site. It was pretty full mainly with tents as it was the end of the half term holiday week. A very friendly site with good facilities the showers were hot, clean and well maintained. We ate breakfast in the café which we ordered the day before, lovely and good value for money. There is a small on site shop, which could be useful as there are no local shops in the village. We walked through the woods and across the fields to St Briavels the nearest village and had coffee in the local pub, the meals looked good too.
The pitches were well spaced out and large with firm mesh bases under the grass, perfect for the camper van. We did need to use our chocks as there was a bit of a slope. There was also a motorhome service area. Access to the site was well thought out with a barrier for security.
The site was quiet at night, although there were lots of small children there. A play area or open space for ball games would be a great future development for families.
My husband and I, plus two boys aged 10 and 13 have just come back from a four night stay at this beautiful campsite. We were greeted by Beverley and what a warm welcome we received. We paid our £10 refundable fee for the barrier and a £1 a night to access the WIFI, to appease a teen age boy.
The campsite was extremely clean and the toilet block was exceptional. Such a high standard of facilities, that were kept clean and the showers were fantastic. The dustbins that were situated in two locations, were emptied regularly, so that that no rubbish littered the site. Dog bins were located in the centre of the site and at the entrance.
The camp site is children and dog friendly. There was very little noise in the evenings, and the site was full. As soon as a pitch was emptied, it was soon filled again.
The surrounding walks were beautiful through bluebell woods with the wild garlic in full flower too.
Nothing was too much for Beverley and her team. They could not do enough for any one.
We had a cooked breakfast that was absolutely delicious. We have never tasted pork sausages like the ones we had here, that were sourced locally. They also provide BBQ packs at a cost of £20 if you give prior notice, although we did not purchase one of these, they were popular with other campers.
An exceptionally clean site, that is family run and who make you feel part of the family.
Looking forward to visiting again in the near future.
