VW-Type Campervan - Grass Pitches May 2026

Lovely campsite with good clean facilities. Shop and on site breakfast service was a bonus as was the email to pre-order Friday Pizza Night which was delicious. Footpath to nearby Coleford for shops, pubs and restaurants is about 1 mile, luckily quite dry when we stayed but could be muddy. Didn’t try walking on the road.

Great trip, will visit again

Roof Tent - Hardstanding Pitches Apr 2026

Excellent, family friendly experience. The staff were really helpful and let me change my pitch from hard to grass on arrival with no issues. In fact, they suggested that it would be better for me if I did, and it was. Really good.

Loved It!
