A lovely wee spot that was nice and quiet. It's close to Coleford if needed. Top amenities that were all in good repair and well looked after.
Amazing hospitality

I stayed for 2 nights in a roof tent. Excellent facilities and a great location for mountain biking. Above all, the friendly service from everyone who worked there really stood out. Will be back.
Love this place!

Can't fault it! I originally only planned to stay one night, to do some hikes around the Wye Valley, but I loved it so much I ended up staying an extra night. I went to the girls at reception to ask for some advice for local walks, they were so happy to help! I stayed in my little converted post van by myself and I felt very safe and comfortable. All in all a wonderful little campsite. I will be back.
