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.

Greenacres camping

Jordan, Julie - 08/10/2026

Lovely campsite, owners and staff very helpful. Immaculate toilets and showers.would definitely come again. The only issue i have is the checkout times for tents. We not early risers so find 11am to early, also have a lot of stuff. Staff was very accommodating though. I would suggest offering a charge for late check out say 2pm. Already looking forward to coming back if we could get late checkout. Keep up the good work. This is a campsite not to ignore. Very peaceful. Thankyou x

Thank you so much for your review and recommendation. As check-in is at 1pm - check-out is at 11 to give us time to make sure the pitch is mowed and ready for the next guests. We find a lot of campers book an extra night in order to stay later and make the most of the day before travelling home. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back.

Really lovely campsite. Great facilities and nice, flat pitches. The breakfast baps on site in the morning were excellent. We enjoyed the walk across the fields to The Ostrich Inn - superb, dog friendly pub!

Pleasant site for an overnight stop

Cook, Gill - 02/10/2026

The site was easy to find and welcoming, though the track up from the road was a little bumpy and off-putting. Facilities were clean and pleasant, and it wasn't too difficult to use the app for electricity. It would have been nice to have a couple of washbasins in individual cubicles. The path into the town was fine in daylight. Very quiet at night.

Great campsite

Traynor, Philip - 02/10/2026

Stopped for a couple of nights with some friends in small single tents. Plenty of space on the pitch for all of our stuff. Electric hookup was very easy to set up and very good value for money.The campsite is very very tidy and well maintained, the toilet and showers were always clean and were more than adequate for the size of the site.Would definitely recommend stopping here.

The fire-pit you can hire needs hole in the side to allow the air flow better for a better experience.

A weekend away

Well laid out campsite, with good facilities. Easy walk into Coleford and to the river direct from the campsite. PAYG electricity and push buttons for shower and taps. Not for us though, as just a bit too big.

Lovely site, access is up a track which could do with some attention

Reynolds, June - 26/09/2026

Really well maintained site with plenty of space on pitches. Shower/toilet lovely and clean, push button showers.Nice little shop with fresh breakfast items.The track up to the site has a few pot holes and is a little steep.Metered electric is a bit of a pain as you need to download an app to use, approx £2.30 for the night.

We’re really pleased you liked the site and are grateful for the feedback which helps us improve.We do have a planning application in for a new entrance and driveway, which will be in a different location and provide a much better approach to the campsite. It’s the final big improvement on our list and we’re hoping to carry out the work over the winter – we can’t wait!Our Pay As You Go electric is also relatively new to us. We trialled it in 2025 before rolling it out fully this year, and most guests have really liked being able to pay only for the electricity they actually use. However, we completely understand that downloading an app isn’t for everyone. We can set the electric up manually for guests who prefer not to use the app, or even offer a flat daily rate instead.Thank you for highlighting this – we’ll make sure these alternatives are made clearer to guests going forward.Thanks again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Greenacres to see these changes. Kind regardsMaureen
