Date visited – May 2021
Unit - Car/Caravan/Awning/EHU
Price per night - £18.00 incl
Earliest arrival - after 12.00 (Adults Only & No Pets)
Open: All year
This site has 4 hard standing pitches close to the road with grass pitches close to the toilet block. We were greeted by the owner who offered us a cup of tea/coffee before we pitched. The site is flat for the hard standings but sloping on grass, a motor home was on the grass pitch at the time and they managed to level, the owner encouraged grey water to be poured under trees and bushes. The site offers cycle lock up next to the toilet block which has a combination lock. The site is directly off the B4228 and does suffer from road noise during the day which we found to be very intrusive (we are normally ok with this but not here). Facilities were equipped with hand sanitiser and wipes but not at the gate which was also used by owners of the storage site at the back of the house. We did see a deer wander into the site, but not much more. Forest of Dean Caravans are only 5 miles away and stock a reasonable amount of accessories even though they had just re-opened due to Covid 19 lockdown. Further a field is Hopewell Colliery and Cafe, the food there is amazing we were told to go for Sunday lunch (booking advisable) you will not be disappointed. If you fancy a trip underground then book in for a tour.
Due to and only because of the intrusive noise experienced, we would not return to this site.
