Reviewer: Mags01 4 reviews from this member

 We spent two nights here and really enjoyed it. The wardens are really friendly and helpful. Great place for a base to see the sights, Only a few of us on site so was really peaceful.

The motorhome waste drain could probably do with being in the middle as was a little difficult near the trees to drain off into it.

Site is well kept and the cleanliness of the showers are fantastic.

There is a lovely Cafe on site, which we never got chance to use but the menu looks lovely, Sunday lunch too!.

The short walk into the village is only a short walk away, not all via a footpath though, take care with small children.

If you want a site full of entertainment and on site facilities this is not for you, if you want peace and quiet, self sufficient this is amazing.

We would really recommend this site and will be visiting again soon

 Stayed mid Easter week. Welcomed by the owner - very friendly. They booked us in (very friendly and helpful). Site quiet, very tidy and toilet block excellent, very well kept, modern, heated and lovely hot showers! Very welcome on bitterly cold windy days! Would like to recommend that the women's showers have more hooks behind the partition please.

Electric hook-ups and one pitch hard standing. Didn't investigate any play facilities for children, as we hadn't got any with us.

Forest of Dean and beyond easily accessible. Good local walks. Didn't use Cafe though it looked very nice. Highly recommend this site.

 Stayed at this site for the weekend whilst visiting the Forest of Dean, very warm welcome upon arrival lots of helpful information given about the site and local amenities.

Tent pitch itself was in a good location on a slight incline.

Facilities available were fantastic with hot showers available throughout the day and the toilet and changing facilities kept very neat and tidy. Also the fantastic luxury of on site free hair dryers which was a life saver in the freezing cold conditions the British weather threw at us.

On site cafe serves great food at a reasonable price with the ease of not having to walk very far in order to have a good meal. All in all a fantastic site run by lovely people in a fabulous location 10/10 will definitely be returning if in the area again.

 This was my first experience of camping with a friend. Loved it here so much we have bought a folding camper and coming back for this week end.

Great snack in the cafe of tea and toast. Clean and warm facilities. Showers were warm and three were plenty of them. Good facilities for washing up too. A well cared for site. I would recommend to my friends and family.

Kids enjoyed the area, great for walks.

 We camped here for 2 nights, last week, mid week. Everything was perfect. Toilet block, pitch condition and size, staff welcome, value for money, all excellent. Short drive to forest of Dean. Cant comment on the local pub as we didn't visit. Nearby walks through the forest a big plus for us dog owners! Freezer for refreezing blocks another plus point!

The site of the field we were in is on a gentle slope so inevitably some pitches had a gentle gradient. You just pitch your tent on your plot, to suit you best. Had a lovely stay!

 Lovely site. Staff are very friendly & helpful, pitches are well kept, shower/toilet block is nice & clean with plenty of room in the showers to change, get dried and hang clothes and towels, etc.

Cafe on site is lovely. Cake!

Lots of room for the kids to play.

Forest is just a stone's throw away and great for walking and mountain bikes. Local village is a fairly short walk away with the usual basic amenities (not sure about the kebab shop next to the funeral directors but go to the rugby club for a cheap pint ;).

Very enjoyable and would definitely stay again.

 Fantastic site. Just returned from a 3 night stay - 18 of us staying in 5 tents. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and the facilities are spotlessly clean with ample hot water. The site is well laid out with plenty of room to pitch even the biggest modern tents. Great idea to pitch around each of the fields to give children plenty of room to run around. 10. 30pm quiet time is also welcome after a busy day of canoeing or caving! Only slight criticism would be the lack of hedging between tents which are pitched back to back - can be noisy if there's a 'snorer' or a baby in the tent behind. The on site cafe is good and the meals were fine - would recommend the Gloucester Old Spot sausages which can be bought there. Local facilities are in easy reach as is the fantastic countryside particularly around the River Wye and Symonds Yat. None of us would hesitate in going back to this site.

Reviewer: Ruttlecamp 2 reviews from this member

 We booked the site on the basis that there was easy access to The Forest of Dean, it would have internet access (needed for business purposes) and it would be quiet. I am sorry to say we were disappointed on all counts.

The main part of the forest is not an easy walk nor a pleasant cycle ride away. Very narrow and busy roads have to be negotiated to get there.

The internet access is weak at best and in our part of the field did not work at all.

The last and worst aspect was the noise from a combination of dogs, screaming children and giggling teenagers. The latter took place up to the curfew of 10. 30, which according to the parent was their 'right' to do so.

The other disruptive factor was the slope of the field which made getting a good night's sleep very difficult.

On a positive note, the owners and staff were very pleasant and the facilities clean and modern.

My recommendations would be:

Bring the 'reasonable noise' curfew back to 9pm, so that people like us with small children could get them to sleep.

Evict the owners of noisy dogs

Ensure that on taking bookings, the footprint of the tent is taken account of.

Advise that the sites are on a slope.

Reviewer: Annabrown 1 review from this member

 Great site! We chose this site because of its proximity to Bristol for a 2 night get-away. Ladies WCs and showers are really well laid out and spotlessly clean. Free showers, hairdryers, plenty of space and a separate baby-changing area were really welcome. Would be 10/10 if they could squeeze in a little baby bath too!

Friendly, helpful staff and the bonus of a few goats on site to keep our toddler amused.

Lovely safe site with plenty of space for children to ride bikes and play.

Only complaint would be the size of the pitches - we have a fairly large family tent and it was difficult to fit the tent + car within the boundaries of the pitch, it didn't leave much room to sit outside, BBQ etc and our 'neighbours' felt very close which was a little stressful since we have a toddler + baby!

All in all a great little site with loads to do in the local area - we would definitely return if some larger pitches were available. 
Management response: The baby changing room will be converted to a family bathroom with additional baby changing room over the winter. After opening a new ladies utility block this summer we ran out of time (and money) I’m afraid. However, I have just ordered a baby bath and stand to help things along for the remainder of this year’s season.

We have previously received praise regarding our pitch sizes but, over the last 2 years, we have noticed that some tents are growing very large. If we have prior warning that a customer has a particularly large tent, we have several pitches that can accommodate these comfortably.

 We chose this campsite in the expectation that we would have a week of rain so we thought: not near the coast, leave the BBQ at home, take full rain gear etc. However the weather took a turn for the better on our arrival! As the sites web page says ignore the satnav when nearing the site as it will direct you down some very narrow lanes when, in fact, it is only a few yards from a main road.

On booking in at reception we asked for a change from our alloted pitch as it had a muddy patch and this was agreed without any hassle. The site has 3 fields, the upper 2 are more sloping (but probably better drained) and don't, at the moment have EHU the bottom field, where we pitched has ehu and is flatter but, unsurprisingly considering a very wet summer up to that point, did have a few muddy patches and was muddy where the field met the gravel driveways into the field. We tried to help by parking our car on the hardstand area ADJ reception for the duration of our stay.

The dishwash area is new and is very nice being a proper room with 6 sinks and the (free) freezers are also in there for you ice packs. The laundry room is in the same block which, for access, needs a deposit key from reception but we didn't use this so cannot comment. The ladies and gents showers/loo's were cleaned to a good, consistent standard and were warm and powerful there is no separation in the mens shower cubicles for changing (although there is in the ladies OH tells me!) but mats/duckboards are supplied.

The on-site eatery looked very nice but we did not partake on this visit mainly due to having long days out in the surrounding area (we can recommend Henry's cafe in Monmouth and the red hart pub which is mentioned in the site leaflet)

The site IS bordered on 2 sides by roads so there is some traffic noise but it didn't keep us awake.

All in all a nice site with much to recommend it. The field we were in would benefit from a longer, better drained driveway into it. The village of Drybrook is very small but there is a gem of a little shop that has been set up to help young people in the area. It sells second-hand goods.
