Stayed 20-04-24 arrived around 4pm was sceptical at first and was the first night in the van, all was sweet. Loverly walk in the adjoining woods, no passing traffic woke us up at silly o’clock. Internet is intermittent but the petrol station round the corner has good internet so we drove there to download films on the phone to watch
Lovely spot! We stayed one night, arriving on a Saturday evening and there were only 3 more vehicles parked so plenty of space left. We parked by the entrance of the path but still was very quiet and could sleep well. There is an owl! The cafe at the Forest Resort on the other side of the road (just cross the road) has a very nice full breakfast and great strong coffee! Toilets were nice too.
Stayed one day and night in our camper van. Was perfect, very quiet, safe, woodland area, nice walks close by, used the little shop in the forest holidays resort to buy sausages and milk in the morning. Also has an outside tap for cleaning boots etc. Would highly recommend.
Great spot! Enough space for lots of vehicles in a wooded area that is mostly level. Very easy to find if you follow the Google map link or search 'Forest Holiday Forest of Dean' there's a cafe. Watch out - very vocal owl in the area (considered a positive as it's cool)
This postcode took me me to a private lane that led to the rear of some houses and a workshop. Definitely not somewhere you'd park for the night.
