One of the nicest campsites I've been to. So clean and the camping area is very well maintained.

Lovely site for both caravans and tents, nearly every attraction is only 10 minutes away.

Fab site with everything you need.
Super friendly and helpful staff. Nice clean facilities. Site is 15mins walk from Coleford and a 20 drive from Monmouth. Love the pay as you go electric.

Very nice site but the final approach road is a nightmare especially for caravans.
However once into the site it was very good. Whilst we were there it was very peaceful but that is dependant on the visitors at that time. The reception and shop closes at 3 and from then anything goes.

A beautiful campsite. I spent Easter weekend with my daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren on this lovely campsite. My family have their own caravan but I had booked a Pod. A little expensive but it was a bank holiday so prices are higher and I needed somewhere to sleep.
Upon arrival, the entrance has quite a few bumps and holes as you drive up the hill onto the beautiful grass campsite.
They have pitches on both grass and gravel catering for tents, campervans and caravans of all sizes. Electric supply was very easy to tap into using a phone. We were all surprised that the pod I had booked was the only one on the site. It contained two single beds, a side cabinet, fridge, TV and radiator. The wood smelt new and it was spotless. We thought that maybe its brand new to the site and the owners are seeing how popular it is before building more. I would def recommend they have more. Although I spent the day and evening with my family, it was just half a minute walk to my pod from their caravan to where I slept. My granddaughter loved the pod so much that she ditched sleeping in the caravan and joined me in the pod.
The site is on two levels with plenty of grass space and daffodils between each pitch, leaving plenty of room for children to play. Our caravan was in a corner with a lovely view. A very well cared for, clean site where you can hire fire pits and logs.
The toilet and shower blocks seemed brand new as they are immaculate with lovely hot water and plenty of soap and toilet paper.
Advertised on the site website, is a field for children to play. It is a large field so plenty of room for ball games. However the one downfall is that the wooden climbing frame is only suitable for very tall teenagers. Children on the site found that they could not use the climbing frame as they could not reach the bars or the rings which were too high up. Very disappointing. We recommend that the owners invest in a couple of swings, a small slide and perhaps a sandpit.
A very pretty, well cared for park, about 12mins walk in the direction of Coleford, fulfilled our childrens needs. So we spent an hour there before walking down the steep hills to Coleford Town.
There are plenty of places to visit and eat in the area. We highly recommend The Hen & Dot near Symonds Yat but it's only open day time on weekends. The venue is a beautiful old manor house on a working farm where they use beautiful Emma Bridgewater crockery. The children loved seeing new born lambs, calves and piglets in the field next to the cafe. A beautiful place.
Back on camp, apart from seeing the nice friendly owner in the shop when booking in, we had everything we needed and faced no problems over the four days, so didn't need to call on her for anything.
We enjoyed our stay at Greenaches and would definately return.

Clean and friendly, no toilet roll on the one morning, 4 days of electric cost us over £28 which we found very expensive as we were hardly in there

We've been here twice for our anniversary and both times it's been lovely
The area is gorgeous, it's completatively priced, and the site itself was perfect. Not much I can say really, there wasn't one thing that could have been improved on.

Fantastic site! There are many to choose from in the area, but I’d be hard pressed to find one that’s better than this. The pitches are flat, the site is well laid out and has superb facilities.

Everything from the kids playground to the table tennis table are great.

The toilet block is kept impeccably clean, and the showers are lovely and hot. Fire pits are available to hire at a really reasonable rate and they have logs available for purchase.

All the basics are catered for, but what really elevates it is the friendliness of the staff and the availability of bacon baps and pastries first thing in the morning!

I do t think I’ll bother going anywhere else in the area to be honest!

Just got back from a.lovey week here. Nice place to stay. Hardstanding pitchs nice size. They have done a far bit of work on the site to make your stay a nice one. The shop is great loved the bacon rolls in the morning. Staff very friendly and will go out of there way to make your stay a great one. Showers water lovey and hot. Look forward to going back.

Just got back from another
Week at this fantastic campsite. Was very busy. But still a quite site. Water in the Showers could have been bit hotter but ok. They have not got around to lowering the gray water waste drainage area as yet. As you have to lift your waste water tank about six inches which can be difficult for older people. .

Great experience!

Some idiot (me) let the battery drain on the van overnight. The camp owner was there within 10 minutes for a jump start.
Also, some idiot (me) forgot certain items needed for the camp, and for a small deposit (now returned) those items were loaned out.
By the way, if you have a stay here, it would be a crime not to sample the breakfast rolls at the camp shop!
The toilets / showers were spotless. The service was friendly and, as I have already alluded to, incredibly helpful!

Great campsite. The location is close to, but not too close to, Coleford where there are plenty of places to eat and drink. The staff were very pleasant when we arrived and for the duration. It is a quiet site and both kids and dog friendly. We will be back again.

Great visit for a long weekend. Peaceful site, perfect base for hiking. Brilliant stay for a long weekend the in October 2025. We stayed in a tent, which was new and I hadn’t tried putting it up before. Andy, the owner was great and helped us figure out how to errect it.

The site itself is very beautifully maintained and clean. The bathrooms are clean and spacious with both showers and toilets. There is also a dishwashing area and a shop at reception where you can get hot and cold drinks and other essentials.

We also hired a fire pit and had a camp fire every night to keep warm and toast marshmallows on. Would highly recommend a stay here. It was a very peaceful and quiet location.

Perfect family friendly site for local getaway A lovely, safe and family friendly campsite with everything we needed for a local night away in our camper - well kept grounds, very clean facilities and some lovely local walks (including a large play park!)

What a well run and comfortable campsite this was. Personally sites around wales are not always the most well equipped for the prices you pay, however this site provided everything we needed and more for very reasonable pricing. Cleanliness was exceptional of the facilities, they offer loads of extra perks to benefit from, fire pits, camping pods, children/adult jungle gym, table tennis, and breakfast options. It really exceeded expectations.

This is one of my favourite sites to have stayed for location to service offered, even for just the couple days me and my friend booked.

With welcoming staff and all we needed from flexible pitches that aren't over cramped it really wasn't long to feel comfortable and settled on the off-set.

Thanks for making the short stay really memorable, I will happily return and recommend them in the future.

Keep up the great work.

Lovely stay, friendly staff. We got moved to a grass pitch after having booked a hardstanding, this wasn't an issue as I had mainly booked hardstanding encase it rained. But the friendly staff provided free breakfast and cuppa tea for me and the Mrs, which was very kind of them. The location was brilliant for our mid journey to North Wales after having done the Four Waterfalls Walk.

Booked 3 nights. Very pleasant site. Clean shower block. Pitches laid out well. Owners, helpful and friendly. Shop is nice, breakfast baps available from 8.30am to 10.30am. Quite a few tourist things nearby.
Would recommend.

My girlfriend and I booked a different campsite by the same name by mistake, but arrived here. After a quick easy phone call we were told to park up, set up and camp and we’ll sort it out in the morning. Extremely friendly and helpful service. Loads of space top quality amenities. We will absolutely come back and make sure we book this place!

Stayed for 1 night whilst exploring the Forest of Dean- lovely dog-friendly campsite with immaculate facilities. Sadly didn’t get the opportunity try the bacon rolls or freshly baked croissants that were on offer from reception in the mornings but would definitely stay here again when I visit next!

Relaxing weekend in a lovely campsite We spent 2 nights at Greenacres Campsite. The booking process was really straightforward, the owner was really friendly and helpful. The site itself was very well kept with very clean toilets and showers. There was a small shop which stocked everything you might need or had forgotten! They sold lovely coffee and pastries in the reception area which were very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend and will be back!

Our party was 2 small vans and an awning, the pitches were part gravel and grass so perfect for our set up. Fire pits were available to hire for £11 for the whole stay.

There was a pleasant countryside walk into the nearby town of Coleford. Lovely little place with traditional shops and pubs. If you wanted to explore further afield there's a lot going on in the local area but we wanted to relax for 2 nights which we certainly did.

Very happy we found this site, lovely and clean, it has everything you need and very good facilities, breakfast rolls and pastries available in the mornings, evening items also if you fancy.
Met up with some friends and had a very good stay.
Nice walk into Coleford, not far away is lovely Monmouth.
Shout out to Maureen & Andy that run the site, lovely, friendly and professional.
Already booked for next year.
See you soon. x

Returned from the most amazing trip with 40 other friends on this fabulous campsite the owners couldn’t be more accommodating or helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. It’s within easy walking reach of a lovely little quaint town with railway museum. Plenty of cafés and pubs. The campsite itself is excellent beautifully kept facilities immaculate They offer food that can be pre-ordered on a they offer food that can be pre-ordered on a Friday evening they do coffees and breakfast …Already booked again for next year.

Waste of money, no staff and no rules in place. When we arrived on a Saturday around 2pm, the reception was closed and the shop was not open. Contrary to the campsites website and rules , we found in the evening there was a big party going on in the camp behind us. Even worse there was a couple opposite who did not stop shouting until around midnight, they were obviously very drunk and we were unsure what to do when he walked around trying open peoples car doors and then openly urinated on the field. Not a nice environment and as there are no staff, neither is there anything you can do about it! We left early purely due to the
discomfort.

We also realised that the 'security gate' wasn't secure at all and was open all throughout the night!!

wouldn’t recommend When we arrived just after midday on a Saturday, the reception was closed and the shop was not open. Contrary to the campsites website, we found in the evening there was a big party going on in the field behind us. Even worse there was a couple opposite who did not stop shouting until around midnight. They were obviously very drunk and we were unsure what to do when he walked around trying to open peoples car doors and then openly urinated on the field. Not a nice environment and as there are no staff, literally nothing you can do about it. We left early purely due to discomfort. Definitely wouldn’t recommend if you have children.

An amazing camp site for meeting friends Having stayed here before we decided it would be a fantastic venue to meet friends. There were 40 of us. The campsite owners could not have been more accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. They even helped us with some catering. Everybody has come away.
Already excited for going again. The facilities are immaculate.
The location is perfect for walking into town and exploring and so many areas to walk with the dogs. We have already booked our group Meet again for next year.. And for any railway enthusiast, there's the quaintest little railway museum

Amazing stay with the GLMCCG Just back from a 5 night stay at this great little gem of a place. this is our 3rd visit to Greenacres. Each time we have stayed we have been part of a group booking. I have to say that the facilities are spotless, onsite shop has everyday basics that you would need. But the added bonus is the breakfast baps and coffee/tea, Pizzas to die for. Maureen and her team are amazing, pretty much once meeting and she remembers you by name. And she really gets involved and makes sure that everyone is looked after. Nothing is too much trouble. We will for sure be back many times.
Thank you for an amazing stay, Love from Keith & Gary (GLMCCG)

“Beautiful family site”

Lovely tidy and clean site. Toilet blocks are the cleanest and tidiest I have used for a long time. Staff are lovely and friendly too. Other users respectful. Booked again for this year and cannot wait.

“Well kept, clean, well laid out campsite”

I was really impressed by this well-kept campsite. The owners were accommodating, the toilet block was the cleanest and probably best I have experienced. The site was well laid out with a kids field at the back where they could play without annoying other campers. Owners seemed flexible to our needs (we were a large group and wanted a field to ourselves) and were very friendly. The shop does breakfast rolls and ice creams etc. The site itself was well laid out and there were beautiful flowers by the amenities. Good recycling and bins. I never had to queue for a shower or the loo in the whole week I was there. Loads to do in the surrounding area and all of it nearby – great if you like cycling and kayaking. Easy to walk into town to the pub too!

“Lovely site in a lovely area”
We only stayed overnight as the weather had turned very wet so we decided to head for home. Greenacres was a wonderful contrast to the very basic campsite we’d come from further south & we’ll definitely return next year. Despite the heavy rain the facilities were very clean & are of a high quality. The Forest of Dean is beautifully wooded with footpaths everywhere & we fancy canoeing along the river Wye too. No Wifi & the whole area seemed to be a bit of a mobile phone black hole though!
Mrs J Jackson (Oct 2020)

“Weekend for walking”
First time at Greenacres and thoroughly enjoyed the surroundings and walking through The Forest of Dean which was made even better by coming back to the site to sit around a fireplace on a lovely autumnal evening. Site was busy but quiet and well kept. Would highly recommend Greenacres.
D Wykes (Oct 2020)

“Wonderful campsite, a hidden gem”
Ideal campsite to explore Forest of Dean and surrounding area. Flat and spacious pitches for tents, electric hook-up, modern and clean facilities, quiet site. We loved our stay and will definitely return. COVID 19 precautions and extra cleaning helped make us feel safe during our stay.
Mrs R Newborough (Sep 2020)

“Lovely small friendly campsite”
Good clean facilities. Friendly staff. Very tidy and well looked after site. Good field space for games etc. Barbecue rental and wood available. Plenty of walks direct from site. Couple of decent pubs nearby.
P Oldham (Sep 2020)

“Great Location”
Great location, walks straight from the site into the forests or into town (The town is very functional but a little sad looking, this may be due to the current situation.) The sites facilities where very well managed and the best we have seen during the covid crisis and that includes club sites. The site was very dog friendly but I must say the 3 stiles we had to negotiate for the town walk and forest walk were NOT dog friendly and would be very difficult if our dog was any bigger, but this is probably no fault of the sites but of the owners of the land you walk through. Overall a very pleasant stay and great facilities, thank you.
Mr D Shires (Sep 2020)

“Lovely relaxed campsite”
The receptionist was very welcoming. The toilet/shower facilities were immaculately clean and were following all guidelines re hand sanitizer etc A lovely mix of motorhomes, caravans and tents spread over several fields. A very relaxing environment
