Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Beautiful location in the Forest of Dean. Grass pitch without electric. The campsite staff were exceptional, gave us comprehensive information on facilities. They were very helpful advising us on an almost level location. The washroom / toilet facilities were excellent with nice hot showers without having to pay. Very competetive price when booking through Pitchup. Com. Highly recommended, beautiful forest location ideal for walking, mountain biking, canoeing etc.
Disliked: Not a fault of the campsite but no mobile phone coverage.
