Reviews

An immaculately presented campsite situated in the Forest of Dean. Hard & grass pitches are available, with EHU, which is paid for via an app. The sanitary block is excellent, albeit with the “industry standard” push button showers. There are various water taps around the site, the usual grey waste as you enter, and an Elsan point. Onsite shop and cafe offering food at an affordable price. I’d highly recommend this site if you are in the area.

We have just spent a long weekend here and it was amazing. The owners are lovely people and also the shop staff. The toilet and shower block and are superb. Firepits were available and wood which were great add ons. We would definitely come back.

We stayed here for the second time on the same dates two years in a row. First time we stayed we loved the site, it’s in a beautiful location with the Forest of Dean on its doorstep, great walks around and so many rare and stunning birds around the site (early morning was best for the birds). There was a couple of issues, the drive up to the site was dangerous (road falling apart, large potholes, etc.), and the toilets weren’t wheelchair accessible. There is a disabled toilet but a big lip on the door frame made it inaccessible for a wheelchair. The owner told us that over winter they planned to change/fix these things.

This year we came back and nothing had changed, the road was worse, and the disabled toilet was still not accessible for a wheelchair.
And one big thing no wildlife! The area that had all the wild birds nesting now has a wooden hut with a high fence round it to rent out. Such a disappointment for the wildlife side of things :(.
And to top it off we didn’t realise on booking but the price had gone up by £86 on last year. With no sign on why the increase other than to build a shepherds hut, I get fees go up but that’s ridiculous.

Lovely little family run site less than an hour drive from Bristol. Shower block lovely and clean, little reception with hot/cold drinks served and some food options.

Lovely area, peaceful and the night sky was beautiful. Located close to go ape and nature trail walks, also park in site which the kids enjoyed.

Will definitely come back next year.

What a beautiful hidden gem. We stayed here a couple of weeks ago to try out our new caravan, we literally live about 9 miles down the road but to be honest it was perfect, it was quiet, an exceptionally clean, well maintained site with great facilities and wonderful staff who all went above and beyond, especially Maureen the owner after we received some very upsetting news.
The onsite food was lovely and a super touch.
The walk into Coleford was very easy and beautiful with some lovely little local shops.
I would recommend this site 100%, you will not regret it.

We had a lovely stay at Greenacres Campsite in Coleford. It’s a beautiful, peaceful site in a great location, just a short walk into Coleford town. The toilet facilities were excellent and always spotlessly clean, and the breakfast and coffee were really good too.

A special mention and a huge thank you to the owners, who were absolutely amazing when our car broke down. They went above and beyond to help us, and their kindness, support and understanding made a stressful situation so much easier. We’re incredibly grateful for everything they did for us — it really shows how much they care about their guests.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Greenacres Campsite to others. We’ll definitely be back! 😊

As I live locally I went here to test out a brand new tent for 1 night.

Upon arriving the staff were fantastic and very friendly. The pitch we had was very clean and tidy. The 10pm noise cutoff is perfect for having some nice downtime.

The location of the campsite is beautiful close enough to the town but far enough away to not hear the main road..

The amenities were also very clean and tidy. No faults whatsoever.

Would 100% recommend to anyone, locally or on holiday.

The price I paid for 1 night was perfect and very cheap.

Another fantastic stay here at greenacres.
This time in one of the Bell Tents.
The staff cannot do enough for you!

The young ladies in the shop make the best brews & coffee.
The facilities are spotless.

The campsite was decorated for a rally which we attended and they just went above and beyond.

Just spent a fantastic week at this campsite and thoroughly enjoyed it. Maureen and her team were extremely helpful and always on hand if you needed them, the shower block was spotlessly clean, there is also a lovely little cafe shop where you can buy fresh coffee teas, hot filled rolls Plus pastries. For the kids there is a lovely little play park area with climbing ropes and frames for the kids.

Stayed here and had a fabulous time. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The facilities were good. It was such a relaxing break.
None of the myriad of instruction signs I’ve seen recently at other larger sites - “do this” - “don’t do that” - just enough information for all visitors to be safe, and not feel like we are at school. Can you tell 100’s of instruction signs are a pet hate of mine? 😂
I can recommend the pizza night - preorder and collect on reception. Very well organised.
All in all, I loved it and will definitely be returning in 2027, for a longer stay.
Well done Greenacres Team 👍

We had a fantastic stay at this campsite in Coleford and would highly recommend it. The location is brilliant, making it a great base for exploring the surrounding area.

The campsite itself is clean, tidy and very well looked after. The shower and toilet facilities were spotless, which always makes such a difference when camping. There is also a great on-site shop with a really good selection of essentials, and the food was excellent — perfect when you don’t fancy cooking in the morning.

The real highlight, though, was the staff. Everyone we met was incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble, and they really made us feel at home.

Overall, a lovely campsite with great facilities, a fantastic location and, most importantly, wonderful staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!

A great week away with friends Just back from another fantastic week at Greenacres Campsite with my partner and friends. It’s a great wee site with lovely, clean shower facilities, friendly staff and a really welcoming atmosphere.

It’s also great for families and is dog friendly, which is a big bonus. The campsite is close to Coleford, a lovely little town with a good selection of shops, pubs and plenty of places to eat.

This was our second visit to Greenacres, and we enjoyed it just as much as the first. We’ve already booked again for next year and are looking forward to coming back! 😊🏕️🐾

Would definitely recommend Greenacres for a relaxing break. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tranquil setting and an immaculately kept site Just returned from this site after 8 days away with friends. The site is kept to the highest standard by Maureen and her team. Clean and well kept facilities. Handy onsite shop selling essentials but also doing hot breakfast food and pizza at weekends. The site is tranquil and surrounded by trees n fields but is an easy 20 minute walk to Colford which has a vast array of shops for all your needs. Really cannot fault the site or the team running it as nothing was too much trouble for them. Will be back next year as GreenAcres is a pleasure to visit. 5 star

One of, if not the best What a fabulous place to stay. Friendly clean and well maintained. Shower block is amongst the best I have seen. Plenty of hot water ready for a nice shower. Maureen, Andy and their Team are just amazing. Always going way above what they need to ensure your stay is the best it can be. We have already rebooked for next August.

Wonderful Greenacres for the GCCG meet up 2026 We are just back from an amazing nine day stay at Greenacres nr Coleford, for the agCacG Big Meet 2026. This is our second visit to this wonderful site.
From arrival to departure Maureen and her lovely team make you feel so welcome. It’s a lovely peaceful location and an easy walk into the centre of Coleford.
This site has everything you need. A well stocked reception offering hot drinks and food and pizzas sold some nights as well as a visiting burger van.
Toilets and showers are spotlessly clean and well looked after. Pitches are large and a great play area for the kids.
Greenacres is located perfectly for the Wye Valley and South Wales.
A huge thanks to Maureen and her team for making our stay so lovely.

We stayed for a week with an organised group. We were well looked after, pitches we're great. A lovely little shop on site with a café for hot and cold drinks, light bites and other food trucks scheduled throughout the week. Staff were friendly and arranged a super fun sports day for our group. They allowed us to put up a large gazebo in the sports field for games, crafts, educational activities and movie nights were all were welcome to attend. A brand new kids climbing frame, swings and activity installation has been recently added in the sports field. Along with a covered awning next to reception to sit and eat food from the wonderful café. Coleford is only a short walk nearby with plenty of shops and a few pubs, bars and delicatessen also a cinema. The facilities are clean and well attended. Maureen will sort any issues you might have, just like she did for us. just pop to reception and see one of the friendly team. We definitely plan on returning in the future!

We have just stayed here for 9 days, what a beautiful site. The staff and owner are very accommodating, friendly and prompt. We have been nearer the bottom end of the site where the ground is flat, the pitches are of a very good size and the electric points work brilliantly through an app. Very easy to set up. The toilet and shower facilities are clean, fresh and modern, the hot water was never an issue the entire time we stayed so plenty for everyone. The campsite offers great breakfasts cooked fresh onsite along with smaller amenities to buy and hot and cold drinks and snacks. When we arrived on Friday evening we had preordered pizza which was beautifully cooked and very tasty. The atmosphere on site has been so welcoming, lots of friendly faces. I will be returning here in the future, fantastic site!

“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.
Karen G (August 2023)
“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!

“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
