  • Quiet and scenic site with direct access to Forest of Dean footpaths
  • Puzzlewood, Clearwell Caves and Go Ape within a 15-minute drive
  • Dog exercise field and modern bathrooms; pubs a mile away
Fancy the chance to go walking in the woods without having to drive anywhere? Deanwood Caravan and Camping has direct access onto footpaths taking you into the Forest of Dean – so it really could hardly be easier to get out and explore this gorgeous Gloucestershire scenery. Getting out for a walk might take you along woodland trails in search of local birds and wild animals – or it might involve heading up to Yorkley village, a mile away, which a dog-friendly pub as well as a well-stocked village shop (a handy place to pick up picnic supplies or something to throw on your barbecue back at base). Dogs are very welcome on site too, and will have access to their own exercise field where they can have a good run around off lead. Other facilities include washing-up areas and access to a fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. Toilets and showers are housed in a modern heated block so there’s no need to worry about chilly toes… The Forest of Dean is a fairly compact area, so pretty much all of its attractions are within a 10/15-minute drive; there’s more to see and do over in the nearby Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Beauty as well. Three miles away, the town of Lydney has various leisure facilities including indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and is a handy source of shops, supermarkets and restaurants.

Bluebell unpowered grass tent site

Liked We had a great stay at Deanwood Campsite. We had a non-electric pitch with a great view across the forest. The pitch was a good size. The facilities were clean and well maintained. Our hosts were friendly and keen to help us have an enjoyable stay. We would definitely recommend the site for camping in the Forest of Dean.

Liked Just returned from a 7 night stay. The site staff are friendly, helpful and keep the site spotless. The toilets and showers are really nice and clean. The free to use washing machine and dryers are very handy. The site itself is in an excellent location, with some stunning views out over the forest. The sunsets are pretty impressive too. I would recommend this site.

Clare B.

Foxglove Field powered grass tent site

Liked This was the campsite I picked for my first solo camping trip and it was perfect. The staff were friendly and helpful. It felt safe, clean and well maintained. The site was quite quiet when I was there so I managed to get an end pitch which was perfect for me and the pooch. The views from the site were stunning, photos do not do it justice. The best view can be found from the dog exercising field which is completely secure & enclosed. There are two kitchen areas, one of which was close to my pitch and the toilets and showers were within the same building, as well as the drinking water supply. Both kitchens have a fridge and a freezer and there was plenty of room in the fridge for my little bottle of milk and pack of bacon. On the Saturday night a rustic pizza van came on site where you could pre-order ready for the evening. (Nothing to do with the campsite but the pizzas were on the small side for the price, which I had anticipated so ordered a garlic bread also, which unfortunately was nowhere near as nice as the pizza itself). But, back to the campsite, it was peaceful and ideally located within the Forest of Dean, I had a gate right next to my pitch so I could go straight for a forest walk, first thing. I honestly couldn’t fault this campsite, the facilities were clean and well stocked with paper and hand soap. After a difficult week for me, this hidden gem allowed me to have a few days of peace and joy. I was sad to leave and will definitely back in 2026. Thank you to all the staff for creating such a lovely safe space ❤️

Foxglove Field powered grass tent site

Liked Very welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. Facilities such as toilets, shower block and kitchen were incredibly clean and the site provided helpful extras such as washing up liquids and female sanitary products in the women’s toilets and shower blocks which was very thoughtful. The site itself is very clean and we felt very safe there. Wonderful access to the forest and in walking distance from local pubs. Pizza van on Saturday night was a lovely extra.
