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.

First impression not good because of the pot holed drive, but as soon as you drive into the campsite the impression is good and always a warm welcome from the Staff.

Dodwell, Pauline - 12/06/2026

Overall a good experience. The site is kept very clean with good facilities and the shop is just what you want on a camp site and the bacon and egg butties were delicious. Only a short stay so didn't see to much of the area, though don't live to far away so familiar with places to visit., The weather was not brilliant during our visit, visited Coleford, lots of coffee shops and restaurants. As it was raining and not very warm when we were walking around we decided to go to the local cinema, saw a good film and it was nice and warm in there.

Thanks for your feedback.I do love the drive - slows the traffic and feels like you are actually going off grid. However, we concede it’s had its day and we have a planning application in to replace it. Decision has been deferred 3 times but is now imminent. A new drive is on the horizon! Watch us on social media for updates 😊That said, we are pleased you like the site and look forward to welcoming you back. We’ve just put some play equipment in, drive next and then, who knows? I’m thinking dog and bike wash - suggestions gratefully received!

Great pizza!

Sanders, Duncan - 04/06/2026

Generally well maintained and laid out campsite.Not much privacy between pitches but otherwise very pleasant. Some minor maintenance issues with blocked toilets and sinks that seem to be dealt with quite quickly by the very friendly and cheerful staff. Great pizza on Friday night-just a thing after a long drive and the latte was decent too!

Top quality site, a credit to the owners!

Harris, Wayne - 03/06/2026

If its an aesthetically pleasing, modern and friendly site you're looking for, then this is it. It is clear that that the owners have invested a great deal in creating an outdoor space which feels less of a field and more of a secluded haven in which to relax. The toilet block is modern and clean, the onsite shop is minimal but benefits from the cafe which has a lot to offer and the dedicated play field with some swings and climbing equipment was a winner for our young boys. We found the staff to be warm and welcoming from the start (which should be a given but is not always the case at some sites) and it was clear that they work hard to keep the site well maintained. It felt like luxury camping even though we were in a 20 year old trailer tent. Will definitely be visiting again. Thank you

Multi generation family celebration

McLay, Andrew - 02/06/2026

5

We chose this campsite for a multi generation family celebration, as it was equidistant from our homes with plenty of activities nearby. We were not disappointed as there was ample space for the children to run around in the play area and each pitch was spacious. The facilities were always clean and all cooked food purchased at reception was good quality. The emails received before our arrival were helpful and all staff very pleasant.

Wonderful half term stay

Saint, Elaine - 02/06/2026

Wonderful cabin on Greenacres campsite. Very clean and had everything that we needed . Maureen is a very welcoming and helpful host . It was so convenient to be close to our family who were camping on the campsite . We all enjoyed visiting the surrounding area including a day visiting Gloucester cathedral and the surrounding city. We had several visits with the family to places owned by Forestry England like Beechenhurst, Mallards Pike and Cannop Ponds. All really worth visiting with excellent walks and bike trails . Forest of Dean is a beautiful area well worth visiting and Greenacres campsite and cabin are wonderful, well maintained and a convenient place to stay.
