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.

Despite the weather trying to put a dampener on my break, I found the owners and staff very approachable and friendly, working hard trying to accommodate as many as possible despite the grass pitches being waterlogged resulting in some bookings been cancelled. I like the quiet no noise after 10 pm policy, the showers found to be spotless. I really enjoyed my time at Greenacres and looking forward to return in the future.Many Thanks to, Owners, Staff, and Fellow Guests for making my, Stay Enjoyable

I regret studying Design

Very pleasant reception lady. Lovely looking toilet block. The L shaped gravel for caravan pitch makes it difficult to park car off the grass. When taking a quick shower, the light in the gents went out 5 times, by waving my hand above the door it turned back on, however in another cubicle I had to open the door to be illuminated. Where am I supposed to put my soap or sponge during the showering? Please would the owner of the site use the facility to check it works. The newly built waste water arrangement needs a ramp to drag the wastemaster onto the platform, then I have to struggle to stop the emptying end of the wastemaster sliding off the drain before I lift it to empty. You should try it! Sorry to be very negative, but if you do not know these things, others will not return either.

Great Site and excellent facilities

Harber, Sarah - 12/04/2024

We loved our stay at Greenacres,it was great to see the site looking fresh, with excellent facilities which were clean and welcoming.Small shop with essentials, and forgotten items.Recommendation if you are on a hard standing pitch would be to ensure that you had long pegs with you as the gravel is deep. Overall, would fully recommend anyone staying at greenarces, which gives you access to some many beautiful spots in the Forest of Dean

Lovely site, clean facilities

This is a lovely site with a little shop in the reception area. We rode our bikes into Coleford whuch was not too far away. We choose a hardstanding pitch and were thankful we did as we had experienced weeks of rain and the grass was water logged and muddy in places. Good sized pitch, but unfortunately we had children riding bikes and playing with a ball around our van for the duration of our stay which made us feel uncomfortable. The rules state no ball games or bikes unless in the playing field but this was ignored. This is our only gripe about this site.

Hi Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you liked the site but sorry to hear you were troubled by ball games around your van. We do hope you return and if this happens again, pop into reception or give me a call and I will move them on into the play area. I will keep a better eye out for it!

We stayed with our touring caravan in the Easter holidays on a hardstanding pitch. The facilities are new and clean. WiFi is good across the site and costs £1 per 24h per device to use.The access to the site is quite steep and single track but it didn't cause us an issue.Well situated to explore the area

Lovely campsite, friendly owners.

Isteed, Angela - 06/04/2024

We had a lovely stay. The facilities are spotless! The owners were really helpful throughout our stay. My only worry would be if the campsite was at full capacity would there be enough showers? The only reason I haven’t given 5 stars is because there were a few broken hooks in showers and the lights are on a sensor so you get could short in the toilet so take a torch! But that is all easily fixed .

Thank you for the feedback. Those hooks have been on my "to do" list for so long I have stopped noticing them - thanks for the reminder - I will get them done! I've found getting a good balance with the lighting a challenge, thank you for letting me know.
