Greenacres is a small family-run campsite. The nature of the site is laid-back and relaxed and we expect that all of our visitors behave considerately to other campers, to ensure everyone has a wonderful camping experience. After all you’re on holiday so you want to have a great time!

The campsite is located a stone’s throw from the iconic Symonds Yat and River Wye attractions, and on the edge of the main forest, so you will never be short of fun things to do.

The local area is well served with shops, pubs, restaurants, attractions and activities for all ages.

The campsite has 17 hard-standing pitches and 23 grass pitches all with electric hook-up. We are open for campervans, motorhomes and caravans but recommend that the larger ones pitch on the hard-standing areas.

Part of having a relaxed and fun camping trip is to have modern campsite facilities at your chosen destination.

At Greenacres, we know what our campers want and have been working hard to develop our family-run campsite over the years. We provide all the essential camping facilities on a relaxed campsite.

Campers of all ages are welcome including your fur babies! There are local walks in the woods and a park, 2 minutes walk away to exercise your dog.

Our family-friendly site has an onsite small play area.

Newland is a two minute drive or a short walk along the old Burial Path to find the Ostrich Pub - a quaint old fashioned English Pub.

Symonds Yat Rock with its amazing views and peregrine falcons is only a short drive away and a 3 mile hike through the woods. The site is well serviced with a public footpath running along its boundary.

We enjoyed staying at this beautiful site a short distance from The Forest of Dean. Pitches are generous and the whole site gives a feeling of space. Facilities are immaculately maintained. There is also a convenient shop which also serves fresh food and coffee. Pizza available on Fridays.

Celebration camp

Morgan, Rosemary - 12/05/2025

We only live round the corner! Greenacres was a great venue for our gathering of family and friends for big birthdays. Greenacres staff were very accommodating to our needs which included a group bbq with a musician. We campervan a lot and have said 'if only we could pick up Greenacres and put it in other places'. It is close to town (scenic walk), bus stop in town, great facilities, lovely Café, lovely pizzas, well kept site.

Fantastic campsite in great location

Mundon, Ian & Jan - 11/05/2025

We have been visiting Greenacres since it first opened and have seen the campsite grow but without losing its rural charm. Facilities are spotless and Mi & Andy always happy to help with anything. Close to Symonds Yat and a number of pretty riverside villages no wonder we keep going back.

Scenery and walks superb.

Thomas, Stephen - 05/05/2025

5

The facilities were excellent but the countryside was the standout feature. We enjoyed the walk to Coleford but the outstanding walk was to the beautiful village of Newland. A little bit demanding but the reward at the end of the "Cathedral of the Forest" and the Ostrich Inn made it worth the effort. Value for money was excellent.

Site is all very good, the way in up the lane could do with a little work.

The value for money was the main reason for choosing Greenacres and came as a great surprise. 2 things I would like to see, a drive over grey waste and a slightly larger parking area near reception if only to protect the grass.
