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.

Arrived late in the afternoon, but still received a warm welcome, despite the weather! Booked a hard-standing with EHU and it was just what we wanted.Facilities were very clean and well-maintained.Couple of different route options to get down into nearby Coleford, which was handy - especially with our 4-year old Cocker Spaniel in tow,

Lovely campsite

Wintrip, Zak - 25/09/2025

Very nice camp site. We stopped here on the way to Wales and found it to be a good little find, staff were friendly and facilities were good. The push button shower is a little annoying but I get why places use it, and it's not a major issue. Breakfast was also nice. No real complaints, I'd stay here again.
