Sprinter-Type Campervan - Hardstanding Pitches (Optional Electric)Oct 2025

Two night Autumn stay. Office closed Sunday & Mondays. No evidence of toilets & showers cleaned during our stay. Site was fairly quiet, so that was probably reason no staff. Grass was quite long. Drying room for boots and wet clothes was cold, no heating. Sorry for all negatives. Stayed same time last year, but had a totally better stay. Probably a better time had during summer months.

Clean showers, clean toilets, peaceful quiet

Twin Axle Caravan - Hardstanding Pitches (Optional Electric)Jun 2025

We enjoyed our 6 nights at this site, Leanne greeted us very warmly, asked if we were happy with the pitch, she was very informative on the area and telling us about the site. The toilets and showers were always clean, it was all very relaxed and felt like we were recharging our batteries, we hope to stay again next year. The name of the site is misleading, paperwork all says Bearse farm which it isn't, the site is around the corner from Bearse Farm. Leanne was very welcoming asked if we were happy with the pitch which we were. Clean showers, clean toilets, peaceful quiet.

Things to do on site and in the Lydney area

Surrounded by stunning countryside, fascinating attractions and within easy reach of the coast, you will truly be spoiled with things to keep you busy.

Just five minutes away you will find Puzzlewood, made famous for being the location where Merlin, Doctor Who, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and much more were filmed. The woodland is full of trails and wildlife, perfect for a day of exploring for all of the family.

Clearwell Caves are also just a five minute drive away, here you can explore nine caverns and even try your hand at caving. You can earn the history of thousands of years of mining, and even spot a bat flying overhead.

Symonds Yat Rock (15 minutes) sits 120 metres above the River Wye. The perfect challenge for keen climbers who can enjoy stunning panoramic views across the valley when they reach the top.

If you're wanting to enjoy a day out at the beach, there are plenty to visit within an hour's drive. Severn Beach (30 minutes) enjoys stunning views over to South Wales, great for walks along the shore. Or, if you would rather a day of swimming and rock pooling then Portishead Beach (45 minutes) is a wonderful day out.
