What customers say
Very clean, well-kept site with roomy, flat pitches & a chill vibe. Staff are praised as friendly & helpful. Toilets/showers are modern & spotless. On-site shop & cafe serve hot food. Great for Forest of Dean/Wye Valley. Coleford town is walkable. Play area better for older kids; access road is steep & bumpy. Highly recommended, many plan to return.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Beautiful campsite with excellent pitches that are very spacious. Campsite is very clean and well maintained and there is an excellent little shop on site. The site has great dog walking straight from the site. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The site is also situated away from any major road so it has no traffic noise.
Disliked There is no noise control and we had two days off loud music and screaming kids from a massive group gathering. There are no private sinks in the toilets for brushing teeth.

From the manager: Thank you for your review - we are very pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back.
I am sorry to hear that your stay was adversely affected by the noise from the family group gathering - they are returning guests and are usually very respectful of our noise policy (music off at 10pm and quiet time between 10pm and 8am). Please do call us on the mobile number given if you are affected by other people's behaviour when on site - we are happy to step in and resolve any issues.
We also appreciate your feedback about private sinks in the facilities – it’s helpful for us to know when considering future improvements. We hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you back again for a quieter and even more enjoyable stay!

Power optional grass campsite
Liked We stayed at Greenacres Campsite this weekend with my partner and our 3-year-old and had an amazing time. The site is lovely, really well kept, and has a welcoming, relaxed feel. It’s a great spot for families, safe, spacious and with everything you need close by. Our little one loved the open space to play, and we really enjoyed the peaceful setting. A brilliant place to get away and we’ll definitely be coming back!

Liked Excellent facilities, clean and new toilet block. Well maintained. Site very quiet after 10pm. Flat pitch’s. Lovely little shop selling breakfast, snacks and camping essentials.

Very friendly staff.
