Nestled on the edge of the Forest of Dean, this campsite is a consistent favorite, praised for its immaculate cleanliness and spacious, level pitches that easily accommodate motorhomes, caravans, and awnings. Guests frequently describe the toilet and shower blocks as the best they have ever encountered, spotless and well-maintained even during peak times. The main attraction is the large heated indoor swimming pool complex, which includes a sauna, steam room, and jacuzzis, all included in the stay and beloved by guests, especially in cooler weather. The on-site restaurant, bar, and coffee shop serve a good selection of meals and breakfast options, though some guests find prices a bit high and service can be slow when busy. A well-stocked shop offers essentials, and a dog wash and exercise area add thoughtful touches for canine companions. The site is ideal for families, with two playgrounds, a multi-use games area, adventure golf, and evening entertainment including tribute acts and discos that children adore. Direct access to forest trails makes it a paradise for walkers, cyclists, and dog owners, with wildlife spotting right from the site. Staff are consistently described as friendly, helpful, and attentive, going out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. The atmosphere is generally quiet and relaxing, though rowdy neighbors can occasionally disturb the peace, and some pitches are closer to noisy areas like basketball courts. A common frustration is the unreliable WiFi and poor mobile signal, which is weak or nonexistent on most pitches. Lighting along paths between pitches and facilities is insufficient at night, making navigation challenging after dark. A few guests have noted that dogs are not permitted inside the bar, restaurant, or entertainment venues, limiting evening options in poor weather. Minor drawbacks include cold shower blocks during winter mornings and the occasional closure of nearest toilets in colder months. Despite these small issues, the overwhelming sentiment is highly positive, with many guests booking return visits and recommending booking directly for the best rates. The site offers excellent value for money, particularly for families, providing a clean, well-equipped, and scenic base for exploring the Forest of Dean and enjoying a relaxing holiday with plenty of on-site amenities.
