Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (large)

Liked: The location is beautiful, nice and peaceful. The suite is clean and tidy, the shower block is spotless. Great faculties for dogs to a small lake to walk around and and enclosed field

Disliked: Main down side to site is that it is somewhat cut off, if you want anything, even just a longer walk you have to walk along the road or take a vehicle. Beware of water temperature in shower block. Adult daughter shower before bed and they were red hot. I showered in the afternoon and they were freezing.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Nice peaceful site, close to many visiting places, clean toilets and showers.

Disliked: Site needed some tlc, showers Luke warm, so only used once.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi I am sorry that we did not meet your expectations but we do try hard to make everyones stay as happy as possible. Sorry that the shower was luke warm and obviously you like a very hot shower. Under government guidelines we need to regulate the water temperature to around 38 degrees, Having tested the water temp at the beginning of the season it was set at 42 degrees as we know in the colder periods people like it a bit hotter. But then we can't please everyone. We do not advertise Wifi so no rating should be given. How can we improve on customer service, we meet you at reception, show you to your pitch explain things and have a smile.

Excellent site would highly recommend

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Lovely place to stay. Especially loved the secured dog field where we could walk the dog. Where we able to take our dog (who is a husky) in there and take off her lead and let her run. If your in field you can see if someone is approaching so can pop lead back on if need be. The family runing this campsite were so helpful especially there daughter. The toilet block laundry room where there’s also a place to wash dishes. All areas were spotless. Also we loved the way you could pay a bit extra for late departure. So we could leave up until 17.00pm instead of 11am so no rush to leave campsite. A couple on the site used campsite as a base and they were doing all different walks cycling etc all with using the campsite as a base. We didn’t but we definitely going to return and take camper out for day to return in night. We just enjoyed the lovely relaxed feeling of campsite. You can also have BBQ as long as you use the rack to put bbq on them. There is also to small ponds to fish in not used by us but will definitely use when we return. We stayed on pitches which gravel and grass for awning which we Didn’t use ours on this occasion as weather was so nice and we put dog out there on lead and we sat out and enjoyed the weather. Xx

Disliked: The only small negative thing I would say was my nieces and nephew came to visit us. They loved running on the field I believe will be tent field. But I think side could do with a small park area.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments and ratings. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you in the future. Steve

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Ease of setting up, pitch was drive in/drive out. Very peaceful. Beautiful setting. Clean facilities. Local information very useful.

Disliked: Only one dog field open. Second one closed due to flooding and never found the dog friendly lake only the fishing lakes so our dog couldn't have a swim. Difficulty contacting site staff on arrival, have to phone but no answer. No hot water in site showers or washing-up room. Electricity ran out at pitch overnight which meant woke up cold, without heating, hot water and fridge/freezer defrosted, had to wait for site staff to come and top it up. Bit of a building site, farmhouse being renovated which in itself wasn't noisy or and issue but the digger near the pitches starting at 07.30 one morning was more annoying.

Local attractions

Forest Oak Farm is in a splendid spot for easy access to the Forest of Dean, the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the wider Gloucestershire, south Wales and south-west England areas. Adventurers can test their mettle on the high ropes course at Go Ape, five miles from base, and over at Puzzlewood, eight miles away, there's a walking trail that meanders through an ancient 14-acre forest filled with towering trees and rugged rock formations. At Clearwell Caves, right next door to Puzzlewood, explore its sprawling natural cave system and learn all about the forest's 4,500-year iron ore and ochre mining history. The Forest Of Dean, around half an hour's walk from the park, is full to the brim with woodland walks, cycle tracks, lakes and secluded valleys. Be sure to bring your binoculars, because the forest is home to wild boar and deer that can (and should) be admired from afar. The smashing Symonds Yat Rock is a mere 25-minute drive away from Forest Oak Farm and provides visitors with plenty of fun outdoorsy and sightseeing opps; take one of the many waymarked trails that link it with the River Wye and a number of circular walks into the surrounding forest, visit the ancient Iron Age hill fort and – if you're there between April and August – point your trusty binoculars towards the nearby cliffs to spot the peregrine falcons that nest and hunt around them. Canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding and mountaineering are available around the village of Symonds Yat too.
