Nestled in the Forest of Dean near Coleford, this family-run campsite offers a wonderfully peaceful and scenic retreat for nature lovers. It is consistently praised for its exceptionally clean, modern, heated toilet and shower blocks, often described as the best guests have ever used. The pitches are spacious, level, and well laid out, with both hardstanding and grass options, providing ample room for tents, caravans, and motorhomes. Many pitches are screened by hedges, adding to the sense of privacy. The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful, with only birdsong and the occasional owl hooting at night, making it a relaxing retreat. A large playing field and a children's play area cater to families, though the equipment is better suited for older kids. Dog owners love the direct access to woodland walks and a dedicated dog-walking field, making it easy to explore with pets. The on-site shop and café serve fresh coffee, breakfast rolls, pastries, and Friday night pizzas, with some visitors noting that pizza is delivered directly to their pitch upon arrival. The shop stocks essential supplies, though opening hours can be unpredictable and fresh produce limited. Staff are consistently described as friendly, welcoming, and helpful, going out of their way to assist with any needs or special requests. The location is ideal for walking, cycling, and visiting nearby attractions like Puzzlewood, Symonds Yat, and Clearwell Caves, with the town of Coleford just a short stroll away. The site enforces a quiet time from 10 p.m., ensuring peaceful nights, though occasional noise from other campers is reported. Access to the site is via a steep, bumpy road with loose gravel and potholes, which can be challenging for low-clearance vehicles, though a new road is reportedly being constructed. Wi-Fi is available for a fee but can be unreliable in some areas, while mobile data generally works well for most guests. Electric hookups incur an extra charge, and the setup requires an app, which some find inconvenient. Some minor drawbacks include motion-sensor lights in the washrooms that can switch off too quickly, and shower cubicles can feel small with water pressure turning off quickly. Overall, this campsite combines top-class facilities, friendly service, and immediate access to the Forest of Dean's natural beauty, with many guests eagerly planning return visits.
