What customers say
Greenacres Campsite is praised for its excellent Forest of Dean location, with beautiful walks directly accessible.

The friendly and helpful staff, along with the on-site shop and cafe, are frequently mentioned positives. Pitches are generally described as spacious and level.

Would definitely recommend it as a base for seeing the local area
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked A really lovely site that we hope to visit again one day. Big pitches, spotlessly clean facilities and a little shop. Great for people with kids. Lots of places to walk the dog nearby
Disliked Only thing that would be useful is a little shower shelf to put the shampoo/ shower gel on as difficult for people with limited mobility.

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Lovely site great facilities, we had pizzas from the onsite kitchen which were great. Really nice 15 minute walk into town.
Disliked Showers only stay on for maximum 10 secs before you have to push the button again very annoying. The road up is not great and needs maintenance.

Excellent, peace, Very clean. Family run campsite
Electric optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Absolutely fabulous campsite! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The site was spotless, well-maintained, and set in beautiful surroundings that made it perfect for a relaxing getaway. The facilities were excellent – clean, modern, and clearly well looked after.
The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. It felt safe, welcoming, and very family-friendly. The staff were amazing and helpful.
Lots of places to walk, 15,20 minutes walk to the town, Big big 5 minutes walk with fields so the dog could exercise.
We especially loved the peaceful atmosphere and how well everything was organised. It’s clear a lot of care and attention goes into running this campsite.
We’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect camping experience!

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Nice little site on the top of a hill, loads of space and quiet. Good walk down into the town but uphill on the way back.
Disliked At first sight the uphill entrance looks awkward but it is easily managed.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay with us.
We appreciate you highlighting the issue with the water taps - they’re all up and running now. As it was our first weekend of the season, we had a small hiccup with getting them de-winterised, but that’s now been sorted.
We understand the entry track has been a concern for some guests. We’ve been working hard to secure planning permission for a new drive, which unfortunately has been delayed, with a revised decision date of 1st May. In the meantime, we’ve decided to resurface the existing track and hope to have that work completed in the next couple of weeks before the busy season begins.
Thanks again for your comments – they help us keep improving!

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked We recently stayed at Greenacres Campsite in the Forest of Dean, and we can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, Maureen and Andy made us feel completely welcome — they clearly pour their hearts into running the site, and it shows in every detail.
The location is absolutely fantastic for walking, with beautiful routes right on the doorstep. Whether you’re after a gentle stroll or a longer adventure, you’re spoiled for choice.
The facilities are truly top-notch — spotless, well-designed, and thoughtfully maintained. It’s one of the cleanest, best-run campsites we’ve visited.
If you’re looking for a peaceful, friendly place to stay with great access to stunning walks, Greenacres should be at the top of your list. We are already planning our next visit when they re-open for the 2026 season!
Disliked That they are not open all year !
